Applications are open for primary, infant and junior places in Kent schools, with about 16,000 families expected to apply for a place to start school next September.
Families are being encouraged to apply as soon as possible for a primary school place for their children and not miss the 15 January deadline.
Last year there were more than 500 late applications, which made it more difficult for parents to secure the preferred places.
When a child has older brothers or sisters already in school, their family still needs to apply for a school place so they can start at the same school in September 2016.
Every child born between 1 September 2011 and 31 August 2012 needs to be registered for a school place, along with those who are moving from Infant school to junior school.
