On Secondary School Offer Day, a significant number of children across various regions faced challenges securing a place at their first-choice secondary school. In Northern Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire, a majority of children were successful in getting their preferred school placement. However, a record one in five pupils nationally missed out on their top choice, highlighting a disparity in school placement success rates across the country. London reported a particularly high rate of disappointment, with approximately 70.5% of children, or three in 10, unable to secure a place at their preferred secondary school. This has prompted advice on what steps to take if a child does not receive an offer from their top choice, including how to appeal the decision.
