Leicestershire County Council is encouraging parents and carers to submit their form before the 31 October closing date.
Moving to secondary school is not an automatic process, and parents need to ensure they have applied for a place before the closing date.
Last year, 95.5% of Leicestershire pupils attained their first preference for secondary school, compared to 94.2% in the previous year.
We want as many children as possible to go to their first choice of school, and the council has worked really hard to help achieve this. By completing the admissions form on time, parents can help ensure that this can continue.
The transfer process is the same for all secondary schools, whether they are community, voluntary controlled, voluntary aided, academy, trust, faith, free or studio schools.
Person:Councillor Ivan Ould, Leicestershire County Council cabinet member for children and families
