This is down from 12.1 per cent last year.

In 2020, 2,231 pupils (87.9 per cent) were able to go to their first choice school. This year, 2,220 pupils were offered their preferred school, making up 90 per cent of applications.

A further 166 pupils (8.7 per cent) of pupils have been offered their second choice school, compared to 206 (8.1 per cent) in 2020.

And 46 pupils (1.9 per cent) have been offered their third choice school. This is similar to the situation in 2020, when 48 pupils (1.98 per cent) of families were offered their third choice school.

The remaining 34 pupils (1.4 per cent) received "directions", meaning they were not successful in applying for any of their top three choices and have instead been offered a place at the nearest school to their home that has spare places.

This figure was down from 53 (2 per cent) in 2020.

In total, 2,466 pupils applied, with 2,538 applications in 2020.
