PARENTS have just one week left to submit their online applications for Torfaen secondary schools.

Following a successful trial last year, the council again rolled out its online application process for September 2014 school places.

All parents/carers of Year 6 pupils attending a Torfaen primary school will have received a letter indicating their child’s Unique Identification Number (UID).

Using this they can apply for a child's place at secondary school using the online form at www.torfaen.gov.uk/secondaryadmissions

A large number of applications are said to have been received already.

The closing date for applications is Monday 2 December.

Anyone with questions can contact Kath Worwood on 01495 766915 or email kath.worwood@torfaen.gov.uk
