Majority of Hampshire pupils offered preferred choice of secondary school

More than 97 per cent of children in Hampshire have been offered a place at one of their three preferences for a secondary school this September.

Of those who applied for a Year 7 place by the application deadline, 90 per cent have been offered a place at their first preference school.

Pupils who did not secure a place at one of their preferred schools have been allocated a place at their catchment school or the next nearest available school.

Parents have the right to appeal in these situations and their child’s name will be added to the waiting list for their preferred schools.

Places can become available via the waiting list for various reasons, including parents changing their mind or families moving home.
