More children in West Sussex are being offered a place at their first preference of secondary school than last year, with the total number of applicants slightly higher.

This year 8,161 of the 9,444 applicants will be given their first preference school for September, an increase from last year’s 8,110.

West Sussex County Council has worked with schools to ensure that every child who applied has been offered a secondary school place.

The County Council admissions officers are on hand to speak to parents, carers and pupils should they want to discuss their offer.
