Thousands of Nottinghamshire families received good news today (March 3) after it was revealed most children have been offered a place at one of their preferred secondary schools for September 2025.

Of the 9,316 on-time applications, 90% have been allocated a place at one of their preferred schools, with 91% securing their first choice.

Those who applied online will receive their offer via email or can check their school admissions account for details. For postal applications, a letter is expected to arrive in the coming days.

Parents have until March 16 to accept their child’s school place. If a child has not been offered a place at their preferred school, they will be automatically placed on that school’s waiting list. Families can also choose to appeal, but they are advised to accept their child’s current offer while considering other options.

Councillor Ben Bradley, Cabinet Member for Education and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, said “The move to secondary school is a big step for pupils in year 6.

More and more families are making the move to live and work in Nottinghamshire, and we are committed to providing high-quality school places for all.”

For those who applied late or made changes after the October deadline, results will be received after March 27.
