Almost all the parents who chose three primary schools in Bristol to send their four-year-olds in September have been allocated one of their preferences, and almost all of them have been given their first choice school, new figures have revealed.
Thousands of families across Bristol have today been given their offers of a primary school place for September, and now have a couple of weeks to respond to that offer and secure a place for their child. A total of 4,787 applications for children to start at a primary school in Bristol in September were received by the council - that’s slightly down on the 4,844 applications last year.
And of those 4,787, a total of 4,395 - that’s 92 per cent - were told they could go to their first choice primary school. Another 290 (six per cent) were allocated the school they listed as their second choice, and another 49 children (one per cent) were given their third choice.
