"By law, we have to consider all on-time applications before late applications, so families stand a much better chance of getting a place at one of their preferred schools if they apply on time."
Over the last four years, there has been a 20 per cent rise in the number of children starting primary school in Bristol and numbers are expected to continue to increase.
To meet rising demand the city council has worked with primary schools to create extra places. Schools being expanded for September include Colston's Primary School, The Dolphin School and Fair Furlong Primary School.
A full guide to the application process, called 'Apply for a primary school place, a guide for parents' is available online, together with information about the number of applications different schools received last year.
