Families are finding out today whether their children have been given places at their choice of primary school.

Pupils starting infant school in September find out today where they have been allocated a place.

In Brighton and Hove 89.98% of parents have been offered their first preference school this morning, meaning 265 children in the city have not got their top choice.

However 45 children did not get a place at any of their three options.

This year’s figure of 89.98% getting their first preferences (2,382 pupils) is up by more than two percentage points from last year’s figure of 87.9% (2,470 pupils).

In East Sussex, 87.1% got their top choice.

Out of 5,629 in the east of the county 234 ( or 4.2%) did not get a place at any of their three preferred schools.

In West Sussex, 89.4% of children (8286) got their first choice but 176 - 1.9% of applications - did not get any of their top three choices.
