Today (Thursday 16 April) is Primary National Offer Day when families across England and Wales find out which primary school their children have secured a place at for September 2026.
In Peterborough, 94.22 per cent of children were offered a place at their first preference school.
The proportion offered a place at their first or second preference school was 97.62% with 98.21% offered their first, second or third preference school.
John Gregg, Peterborough City Council's Director of Children's Services, said: "I am delighted that once again so many young people have been able to receive their preferred choice of primary school. We are fully committed to ensuring that every child in Peterborough receives the best possible education and this all starts with pupils securing a school place.”
Parents who applied online will also receive an email today with their child's allocated school details. Parents will need to accept their school places by contacting the offered school directly. The email will also include a link to information explaining the appeal process should parents wish to appeal for any school that they are placed on a waiting list for.
Alternatively parents can login to view their offer on our website.
Any parent that applied on a paper application form will have their outcome posted to them today, 16 April 2026.
All school place offers must be accepted by 30 April to ensure their offered school place is secured for September 2026.
