Nearly 100% of parents have been offered one of their preferred primary schools for their children ahead of the next academic year across Nottinghamshire. Nottinghamshire County Council say 96.5% of children have been offered their parents’ first preference school for a reception place this September. Across the city, 97% of pupils have received their first or second choice of primary school for September this year.
National Offer Day, which falls on Tuesday, April 19, sees parents across the country find out which school their child has been allocated for either a reception or a year 3 school place. 7,850 students out of a total of 8,134 that applied on time for a school place saw 99.6% secure a place in one of their preferred schools.
Parents who applied online will be able to log on to their account to see their outcome on National Offer Day - parents who applied by other means will be sent their outcomes by second class post. Those who are happy with the place they have been offered should accept the offer and the school will then be in touch with them, according to the council.
