LOCAL parents are finding out which primary school places their children have been allocated.

Staffordshire County Council said nearly 95% of youngsters will be starting at their first choice in September, while more than 99% will get one of their top three selections.

A total of 8,517 places have been allocated by the authority, with parents being informed from today (16th April).

Cllr Janet Higgins, Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for education, said:

> “Finding out your child’s primary school place is a big moment for any family – and we want parents to have that information promptly.  
>  
> “I’m pleased that we’ve been able to offer almost all families one of their preferred schools again this year, with the great majority receiving their first choice.  
>  
> “That’s thanks to the hard work of our admissions team, and to parents who submitted their preferences by the deadline.”
