What happened at each school last year
i
SourcePlaces offered and first preferences: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers (school level, Open Government Licence).
Applicants refused: North Tyneside's own offer-day tables, where we hold them.
How it is worked out"Put it first, not offered it" is DfE's number of first preferences less its number of first-preference offers.
- "Not held" means we do not have the figure, not that it was nought.
- The published figures from last year's offers describe what happened then, school by school. They are not a forecast, and they say nothing about any one family's case.
- Waiting lists are kept in the order of each school's admission criteria (School Admissions Code 2021, 2.15).
