Deadline approaching

THE Western Education and Library Board is urging parents to make sure to apply in time for a pre-school place for children.

The deadline for Pre-School places for the 2011/2012 school year is a week earlier than in previous years with parents/guardians applications due in Pre-School Providers by 12pm on Wednesday, January 12.

A spokesperson for the Western Board said the change had been introduced to allow extra time for providers to secure places for children in their final pre-school year ahead of younger children. Places will be held for the priority age group - children born on or between July 2, 2007 and July 1, 2008.”
