Secondary admissions allocation data 2017

[BurnTheBlackSuit]

Secondary schools admission data showing who got in from what category seems to be available now (at least for the counties around me, I haven't checked the whole country). Usually under something like "how places were allocated" on the council websites.

I wish it was like that here. No data at all on our council website.

Nothing on our website either. I know it is available in the admissions booklet each year (so distributed September onwards), including information about appeals but I am not sure at which point this information is just available.

The three counties that are near me have all put this information on their websites today, I was assuming it was a standard thing.

Some example counties: Here is Lincolnshire: www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/parents/schools/school-admissions/find-a-school-place/starting-in-year-7/ (under downloads- yr 7 intake offers). Surrey: www.surreycc.gov.uk/schools-and-learning/schools/school-admissions/admission-arrangements-and-outcomes/how-school-places-were-allocated-in-previous-years (allocation of secondary places 2017) and here for Staffordshire: www.staffordshire.gov.uk/education/schoolsandcolleges/admissions/secondary/home.aspx

Very interesting. For the first time ever the school in the next county (but only 15-20 mins walk from me) is over subscribed. It's in a traditionally poor area but since becoming an academy has a very good progress rating.

Our local secondary has 150 places & only 34 children applied!!!!!

The next nearest school after that (10-15 min drive) turned away 65 children.

Are these LAs where most children secure first choice.
Not so sure our LA Birmingham - where we were allocated 6th choice (a school.nobody wants) will be so quick to publish...

I have had a look but couldn't find it on their website. Anyone found for Lancashire? If not once published could someone let me know. Will keep looking but there maybe others who find it before I do as difficult to check constantly.

I'd like to see Lancashires too but not sure if they ever publish them.

You could put in a Freedom of Information Request but that would cost.

If anyone has the link for the borough of Sutton could they post the link please I cant seem to find it online.

Thank you Patricia much appreciated!

Freedom of information requests don't necessarily cost.

I've just put on into the school we'll be appealing to for more detailed info on their admissions

Girlwhowearsglasse - Thanks. Will certainly look into this.

I had a look at lincolnshires, what does p1 , p2 etc mean?

I am guessing that's the priority order, although they could really do with a key!

So for grammar schools, p1 would involve having passed 11+. Possibly also a catchment criteria?

For secondary's, it would be something like p1= LAC, p2= siblings, p3= catchment?

I am guessing though. It's not obvious!

Ah I've figured it out! P1 is first choice, p2 second, p3 third and p4 children allocated when they didn't list the school in their preferenceS
