For primary school (Reception class), the deadline for applications for September 2018 is by the end of Monday 15 January 2018. The deadline applies to Reception class places for September 2018 (children born between 1 September 2013 and 31 August 2014).
Parents or guardians should note that applications received after the deadline will be considered as late. Late applications will only be processed after on time applications.
Missing the deadline increases the risk of your child not being offered a place at once of your preferred schools – even if they already have a sibling at the school.

Councillor Tom Bruce, Cabinet Member for Education, Children’s Services and Youth Services, Hounslow Council, said: “Since we moved the application process completely online two years ago, it has been a great success.
“I know many parents have found it much easier and quicker, therefore enabling them to apply in plenty of time for the deadline.
“For those parents still unsure about applying online, we have help and support available to make sure they can access and use the service fully, so I encourage them to make use of that.
“We’re committed to supporting our children in getting the best education possible and the best start in life and this includes providing the services that can help provide that.”
