Website and telephone payments Sunday 19 May
Our website and telephone payment systems are unavailable between 9am and 2pm on Sunday 19 May. You will not be able to pay for any council services on our website or over the phone during this time.
On behalf of North Yorkshire Council, we would like to welcome you and your family to North Yorkshire.
All children in England between the ages of five and 16 are entitled to a free place at a state school - in fact they have to go to school. This is why is it called 'compulsory school age.'

Please let the school know if:
Make sure you find out:
Once your children are allocated school places, and a start date has been agreed, it is your legal responsibility to ensure that they attend school every day.
As in most areas of the UK, assistance with home to school transport can be provided by North Yorkshire Council for primary aged children under eight years old if the journey to school is two miles or more.
For secondary aged children and primary children over eight years old, transport will be provided if the journey is three miles or more.
For shorter journeys, parents are expected to take their children to school every day.
If there is a medical reason why you are unable to take your children to the schools allocated, you need to provide written evidence of a serious, long term medical condition, so that a request for transport can be considered.
