This year's Primary School Offers Day falls on the 16th of April.
00:06
Parents of children aged 3 and 4 find out which school has offered their primary age
00:09
child a place from this autumn.
00:11
Last year, 90% of pupils got their first choice school, but how is it decided?
00:16
All schools and local authorities have their own admissions criteria to decide which children
00:20
they will prioritise.
00:21
This criteria can include factors such as living near the school, having a sibling at
00:25
the school, being from a particular religion if it's a faith school, being eligible for
00:29
pupil premium or having a parent who's worked at the school for two years.
00:33
But not all schools are created equal.
00:35
How do you know if the school you've received an offer from is a good one?
00:38
You can check local league tables, Ofsted reports or have a look at the regional Sunday
00:42
Times best schools list.
00:44
For Bristol, Elmley Junior School in Westbury-on-Trim and St Bonaventure's Catholic Primary School
00:49
in Bishopston both achieved the highest score in the South West.
00:54
How do you accept your offer once it's been received?
00:57
Your letter should tell you what to do next.
00:59
Here in England, the offer has to be formally accepted by the given deadline.
