‘Offer day’ could see 90,000 missing out as study also finds poorer children less likely to enter best-performing secondaries
Hundreds of thousands of children and their parents will find out on Wednesday whether they have got into the secondary school of their choice, as figures reveal that an increasing number of parents in England are failing to get a place at their first choice school.
In the past 12 months more than half of England’s towns and counties have seen a fall in the proportion of 11-year-olds receiving a place in the first choice school, according to a Press Association analysis of government data. The problem is expected to be worse than last year due to an increase of 16,000 applicants.
