Parents have until this Sunday to submit their applications if they want their children to start at a state primary school next September.
Parents living in the borough must submit their applications to Wandsworth Town Hall by Sunday, January 15.
Parents can apply for a total of six state-run primary schools, listing each one in order of preference. These schools can either be in Wandsworth or another borough.
To be eligible for a reception class place in September 2012, children must have been born between September 1, 2007 and August 31, 2008.
Parents can apply online at
www.wandsworth.gov.uk/admissions or by completing the application form provided in the council's Choose a Wandsworth Primary School brochure.
The brochure gives detailed advice and guidance on how to make an application and contains simple and straightforward information about all the borough's 55 state funded primary schools, including their admission criteria, details of after-school care schemes and other early-years services.
Cllr Kathy Tracey, Wandsworth's executive member for education and children’s services said: "It is absolutely vital that whichever schools they finally choose parents don’t miss the important deadline of Sunday, January 15 to submit their applications.
“Parents who have not already reached their final decisions should read our brochure. It contains plenty of information about the borough’s primary schools and offers a simple guide to how the admissions process works.”
