“When registering, you should bring your child’s birth certificate, Child Benefit details/Tax Credit Award Notice, current Council Tax notice and recent utility bill.”

Parents and carers have the right to ask for their child to be educated in a school other than their catchment school, via the placing request system. Placing requests can be made online at the council website between now and 15 March 2020 and forms are also available at Community Hubs or by calling 0300 123 4510.

A council spokesperson added: “Please note, every effort is made to try to meet the wishes of parents/carers, but it is not always possible to grant every placing request.”
