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.
Children needing mainstream school support, families affected by domestic abuse, and young people in care will get renewed support under new Central Bedfordshire Council plans.
Over 80 scouts and squirrels (junior scouts) joined forces with parents and support volunteers on a sunny Sunday, for a community hedge-planting event.
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.
