The dates

What happened at each school last year

The published figures from last year's offers. They 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).

Places offered and first preferences: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers (school level, Open Government Licence). "Put it first, not offered it" is DfE's number of first preferences less its number of first-preference offers. Applicants refused: Stockton-on-Tees's own offer-day tables, where we hold them; "not held" means we do not have the figure, not that it was nought.

Moving to Stockton-on-Tees mid-year

We do not hold Stockton-on-Tees's in-year arrangements yet: its admissions page sets them out.
