Parents who want to secure a place at a Wandsworth secondary school next September are reminded they must submit their choices by the end of October.

Applications for secondary school places in September 2012 must be submitted by Monday, October 31 - this applies to children born between September 1, 2000 and August 31, 2001.

Parents are able to apply for a place at up to six state schools in any part of London.

Councillor Kathy Tracey, the council's education spokesman, said: "There are many good secondary schools to choose from in Wandsworth.

"Our brochure is designed to help parents make the right choice for their children. It contains a wealth of information about local schools and offers a step-by-step guide to the applications process."

Parents of children living in the borough must either submit an application form to Wandsworth Town Hall or apply online by this date - those living elsewhere must apply to their home borough by the same date.

All parents will be informed of the outcome of their applications at the beginning of March next year.

Copies of the brochure can be obtained by emailing admissions@wandsworth.gov.uk or by telephoning (020) 8871 7316.
