What is the likelihood of getting a place at my most preferred school?
There is a table in the Primary & Secondary Admissions booklet showing the number of pupils admitted to community schools in September 2011, and the conditions under which they were accepted. We are currently updating our booklet and the new booklet showing figures for September 2012 will be available the end of July/August.
You need to take account of the likelihood, based on your circumstances, of getting a place for your child at your most preferred school. You should also consider where you would fit into our admission policy. If you have any concerns about this, please contact our Choice Adviser on (01642) 526603.
The booklet can be viewed at www.stockton.gov.uk/schooladmissions
