Before making applications, parents should have read 'Admissions to schools in Cambridgeshire - a guide for parents 2008-2009' booklet.
Please note that the Code of Practice states that "once parents have made their preferences, local authorities must not allow them to be changed without a genuine reason for doing so, for example, if the family has recently moved". This is a significant change in the admissions procedure so please think very carefully before submitting your application.
