The majority of Central Bedfordshire families applying for a school place this year have received good news, with 9 in 10 children offered a place at their first preference primary school.
Eleven local authorities across the East of England have joined forces in a bid to collectively recruit more foster carers to look after some of the region’s most vulnerable children.
Applications are now open for children and young people who are due to start school, or transfer to middle, secondary or upper school in September 2024.
On Thursday 25 May, Councillor Gareth Mackey was appointed as Chair of Central Bedfordshire Council. Councillor Sue Bell has been appointed as Vice Chair.
