<strong>to</strong> you by first-class post and we will include a reply slip that you need <strong>to</strong> return <strong>to</strong> the<br />

Applying for a place at junior school<br />
Some schools are for infant (reception, year one and year two) children only and you<br />
will need <strong>to</strong> apply for a place at junior school.<br />
If you have a child in year two at infant school, in November you will get an<br />
admission <strong>to</strong> primary school booklet and a <strong>Wigan</strong> <strong>Council</strong> junior school application<br />
form.<br />
You should apply in the same way as described above and hand in your <strong>Wigan</strong><br />
<strong>Council</strong> junior school application form at your child’s infant school by the closing date<br />
of 15 January <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
If any of the schools you want is a voluntary-aided (church) school, you<br />
should fill in the school’s supplementary information form as well as the<br />
<strong>Wigan</strong> <strong>Council</strong> primary school application form and return it <strong>to</strong> the individual<br />
school.
