PARENTS and carers in Redditch who require a helping hand with the online school admissions application form are being invited to a free help session.

Organised by Worcestershire County Council's Library and Learning Service Comput@bus, the session is at Woodrow First School this Friday, January 10, between 9am and 1pm where a qualified teacher will be on hand to lead through the admissions process and to assist anyone who isn't able to get online at home.

The Comput@bus has eight desktop computers, is equipped with heating and air-conditioning and also has disabled access via a lift.

In Worcestershire all school places have to be applied for through Worcestershire County Council.

Each year parents get caught out by not applying for their children's place before the closing date and potentially miss out on their preferred school.

Parents and carers need to fill in the online application form by Wednesday, January 15, which is available at: worcestershire.gov.uk/schooladmissions.

Anybody who is unable to attend this session can access a computer for free at their local library.
