99.18% of children were offered a place on National Offer Day at one of their three preferred primary schools and 95.78% were offered a place at their first preference school.
Suffolk County Council received 7,056 applications from parents and carers indicating which primary school they would prefer their child to join in September 2023.
Families who applied online can log on to the Admissions Portal from today to see the school their child has been offered. They will also receive an email to confirm this offer. Letters will be sent to parents who made a paper application by second class post today (17 April 2023).
Allan Cadzow, Director of Children's, and Young People Services for Suffolk County Council said:
"It is great news that the majority of families have once again been offered a place at one of their preferred schools, especially with so many being offered a place at their first preference school."
"We appreciate that not all families may have received a place at their preferred school. If a parents' preference for a Suffolk school is refused, we will automatically add their child's name to the waiting list for that school. Parents and carers will also be advised about how to lodge an appeal should they wish to do so."
Once school places have been confirmed, parents need to consider how their child will get to and from school. If their child is eligible for Suffolk County Council funded school travel they will receive an email by 12 May 2023 with details of how to opt-in.
Any parents or carers with a child born between 1 September 2018 and 31 August 2019 who have not yet applied for a school place should make an application immediately. Information on how to make an application can be found on the School Admission pages or by contacting Suffolk County Council on 0345 600 0981.
For further information on how to view your offer online and guidance on what to do if you have not received your preferred offer, please read the School admissions FAQ page.
