Applications for primary school places, where a child is attending school for the first time, are managed to a national timetable.  The admission process is known as the 'Normal Admissions Round' and is co-ordinated between local authorities across England.  

This means that parents must apply to the local authority where they live, even if they're applying for schools in another area.

If you're applying mid-way through a school year, there's a separate process that needs to be followed.
