Children across Leeds were informed of their secondary school place earlier this month, with a record 8230 of pupils offered their first preference school (7825 last year). Leeds City Council made a total of 9877 place offers for September 2022; a decrease of 15 from the offers made last year.
However some parents and pupils were left disappointed with their allocated school, with a total of 30 schools in the city refusing place preferences.
