Hertfordshire County Council today press released the news that over 95 per cent of children have been allocated a place at one of their three preferred secondary schools and 81 per cent at their first ranked school. St Albans Cllr Chris White notes in his blog that in St Albans, one in four children did not get their first choice secondary school and a total of 26 children did not get any of their preferences (compared with Harpenden, where 90% got their first preference).
For the first time, HCC will be sending allocation letters only to parents and carers who applied on paper or who were not successful in obtaining a place at their first ranked school. In addition, for the first time, parents and carers who applied online will be able to accept the school place offered online. All applicants who have not been offered their first preference school will automatically be placed on the continuing interest list for any schools named higher on the application form than the school offered.
