Despite the new school term just starting, parents will have to complete their primary school applications by January 15, 2026 for the next school year.
First choice offers are dished out depending on a number of factors including catchment areas, capacity, sibling connections, school specific criteria and demand.
We have put together a gallery consisting of primary schools, outlining how many people got their first choice school this year.
