Thousands of primary pupils in Plymouth will today find out which school they will be going to this September.
Of the 3,136 children who applied on time seeking a place in a Plymouth school, 3,090 were allocated a place at one of their preferred schools. This equates to 98.48 per cent.
Emails confirming school places for September 2024 have been sent to parents. Schools have also been given the admissions information relating to their children, so parents are also able to ask teachers directly for confirmation of their child’s secondary school place.
Parents must respond to their allocation of a school place for their child within one week of notification. For those that applied for their place online, the easiest way to respond is through their online account. If parents do not make a response, the allocated place could be withdrawn and offered to someone else.
Councillor Sally Cresswell, Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Apprenticeships said: “We’re delighted that we have been able to offer the majority of young people a place at one of their preferred schools. Our admissions team work hard to match as many requests as they can, as we know how important the choice of secondary school is to students and their parents.”
