It’s a big day for 11 year olds in Luton as they find out what secondary school they have been offered a place at for September 2023.
The vast majority of pupils will be offered a place at one of their preferred schools – most will be offered their top choice.
Last year, 94.4% of applicants for a secondary school place received an offer from one of their top three choices, while 83.3% were offered their first-choice secondary school.
A parent or carer must formally accept the offer by the given deadline.
