It's getting increasingly difficult to get into your first choice for pupils
Hundreds of kids are missing out on their first choice of schools according to statistics. Official data has shown that more than six in 10 parents did not get their first choice in the region's most oversubscribed school.
It was followed by Eden Girls' Leadership Academy in Manchester, where only 122 of the 268 parents who picked it as their preferred school were offered a place. The figures reveal that two in every three secondaries in England were oversubscribed this year - with 66% seeing more parents putting them down as a first choice than were offered a place.In comparison, primary schools are much easier to get into, with fewer than one in three oversubscribed this year - down from nearly half of primaries nine years ago.
