SCHOOL UPSET - 1 in 10 families in Bristol miss out
Families across West Country will be getting their offers of secondary school places.
In Bristol, the city council received 4,625 applications - that's a rise of 8% on 2016.
91% of families were offered one of their top three preferences, which is down slightly from 92.5% last year.
Just over a quarter - 25.6% - were offered their first choice of secondary school compared to 23% last year.
There were around a third more first preference applications for Bristol schools from people who live outside the city.
Bristol City Council says most families who did not receive any of their preferred choices applied for schools which:
assign places by random allocation
are outside Bristol
or are faith schools
Anyone not receiving an offer for their preferred school will be given information about how to stay on the waiting list and the appeals process.
