Primary school place offer day in Sandwell
Families applying for primary school places were notified today (Tuesday 16 April),
either by email or letter, which school their child will be starting in September 2024. More than 98 per cent (98%) of families have been offered one of their top three preferences for their child with just over 94 per cent (94%) getting their first choice of school. Those who didn’t get one of those preferences are still offered a place at another Sandwell school. No child will be left without a school place.
Sally Giles, Interim Director of Children and Education at Sandwell Council, said: “More than 4,000 children have been offered a school place at one of their family’s top preferences. “With more than 98 per cent getting one of their top preferences of school, we know the vast majority of families will be very happy with their school place offer in Sandwell.”
