A total of 6,938 applications were received by the October 31 deadline for the 2026/27 academic year. Of these, 83.18 per cent were offered their first-choice secondary school on National Offer Day on Monday (March 2).
Overall, 95.85 per cent have been offered a place at one of their top three preferences, continuing the strong trend of families receiving one of their preferred options.

We are pleased that the majority of children have secured a place at one of their preferred schools, reflecting our continued work to ensure there are sufficient good quality school places available in the right locations across the county.
“We wish all our Year 6 pupils every success as they look to start secondary school in September.”
