A total of 95.8% of children who applied for a Reception place at a primary school in York this September were allocated their first choice on National Offer Day (Wednesday 16 April).

All the children who applied for a Year 3 place in a junior school were allocated their first choice.

Parents who applied online can find out where their child has been allocated a place by logging into their parent portal account today.

Parents who made written applications will receive a letter confirming their admission arrangements. Anyone who didn’t receive their first choice of school will also receive written confirmation.

Councillor Bob Webb, Executive Member for Education, Children and Young People, at City of York Council, said:

Starting primary school is such an exciting time for children and their families and I know that primary schools in York work really hard to help families settle into the education communities and make starting school easy and fun for the young people.

Any parent whose children may be eligible for free school meals, one of a number of benefits that come with applying for the pupil premium, should apply through their online parent portal account.
