An attachment on this page shows how secondary school places were allocated in Shropshire schools for September 2011. As an Admission Authority we try to offer as many first preference places as possible. Of the secondary applications received on time for 2011, 93.6 per cent received their first preference school. The national average was 84.6 per cent. The applicants who were not successful were mainly those who lived outside the school’s catchment area or those who applied late.
