Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will extend the 15 January 2021 deadline for primary school place applications in response to the disruption resulting from the covid-19 outbreak.
We have no plans to extend the deadline of 15 January for primary school applications.
Applications for school places are made online or by post. The restrictions on attendance at schools do not prevent parents from submitting applications for school places.
