Parents hoping for primary school places for their children in September have just six days left to apply, County Hall has warned.
The deadline for applying for primary, junior and middle schools applications in Hertfordshire is Sunday, January 15.
County councillor David Williams, cabinet member for education,
said: “We want to make sure young people get a good start in life, and we have some of the best facilities for education in the UK.
“I understand that parents and carers want their children to attend the school they most prefer.
You may also want to watch:
“Hertfordshire has a good track record, and last year 95 per cent of applicants were offered a place at one of their four ranked primary, junior or middle schools.
“However, we are not able to meet everyone’s preferences, despite working very hard to achieve this.
