Primary school applications process open now in Hartlepool for 2027 new starters
Families with children due to start primary school next year can apply now for their preferred choice.
The local education authority, Hartlepool Borough Council, has opened its admissions process for reception class admissions for September 2027.
Applications are open for children if born between between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2023.
The closing date for applications is Friday, January 15 next year.
The council says before applying for a primary school place, it’s important to understand the different types of schools available and advises doing some research.
It suggests reading the school’s prospectus, seeking out their Ofsted reports or paying a visit.
The council says: “You'll probably already have an idea of some of the things about a primary school which are important to you and your child, but choosing a school can be a big decision.”
