PARENTS across the country are likely to be experiencing heightened feelings of anxiety today as they find out what primary school their child will be attending.
Hundreds of thousands of families across England are being notified about which primary school their child will be joining this autumn, on what is commonly known as National Offer Day.
Parents were able to apply for a place in a Reception class at a Bradford Council run school from November 9, last year, until Janaury 15, 2021.
There was also a late application form for anyone who missed this date, but a reason needed to be given for why this was the case.
Families list their top five schools, in order of preference.
Bradford Council advises each year that parents use all five options and include all their child's priority area schools.
Priority area schools are those which offer places to applicants who live in a fixed area near the setting, before any remaining places are sent to others outside that zone.
Siblings from within the priority area are usually offered places first, followed by other children from within that zone.
There are 13 Bradford Council schools in total that offer priority admission areas, according to the local authority's website.
Parents who applied online were receiving emails from 8am today, to notify them of where their child would be attending from September 2021 (unless they opted out of this service).
All online applicants were able to view their child’s school place offer from midnight on April 16, by logging into their account on the online system.
Parents and carers who applied on a paper form, or opted not to receive an email, had their child’s allocation letter sent out by Royal Mail, first class post, yesterday.
