A NEW leaflet has been designed by pupils in local primary schools to help parents whose children are due to start school in September 2016.

There are 15 schools in the West Sussex Rother Valley Locality altogether, with many feeding Midhurst Rother College. The children’s professionally printed leaflet is now being circulated to prospective parents.

Families need to apply on-line at [email protected]">[email protected]. uk from now until January 15 for a place at an infants, junior or primary school.

One child from Camelsdale Primary School said “We have great schools in the Rother Valley and we hope lots of parents will want to send their children here.

“The leaflet might help them to remember to apply for a school place. They mustn’t leave it too late”

The schools are: Bury, Camelsdale, Easebourne, Stedham, Rake, Rogate, Northchapel, Petworth, Fittleworth, Fernhurst, Harting, Midhurst, Graffham, Duncton, and Coldwaltham.

All parents are encouraged to apply using the online application system at www.westsussex.gov.uk/ admissions
