Parents to learn of Buckinghamshire primary school offers
4:49pm Tuesday 16th February 2010 in
PARENTS will tonight begin to receive offers for primary school places – and we want to hear your experiences.
Letters were today posted by Buckinghamshire County Council, the body responsible for setting admissions arrangements.
Those who signed up to receive news by email will be notified from 6pm while information will be placed on the council’s website from midnight.
What are your experiences? Leave your comments below or email bfpnews@london.newsquest.co.uk.
They were asked to rank three schools, in order of preference. Parents can appeal and these can run up to the beginning of the September term.
A BCC report on last year’s admissions (see link, bottom of story) says: “In the main the arrangements worked well.
“In a few cases catchment children could not secure places at their catchment preference school and the situation had not resolved over time before the beginning of term.”
In the initial allocation, 86 per cent of reception and 93 per cent of junior children were offered a place at their first preference school, another BCC report says.
