SECONDARY school place applications have now opened.
Parents and carers of children due to start Year 7 in September 2016 can apply for a place at their preferred schools until October 31.
Ray Gooding, responsible for education at Essex County Council, said: “Applying for a secondary school place can be a tough decision. I encourage all parents to make use of the tools available on the website before submitting an application.
“It is important they make use of all six preferences to maximise the opportunity of a place at a preferred school.”
He added people should also take note of the admissions criteria for each school. For more information and to essex.gov.uk/admissions.
