Education bosses in West Sussex say every child in the county has been allocated a primary school place.
It’s understood that the council's admissions team processed over 9-thousand applications this year.
91.1% of those will be offered their first-preference school, while 98.6% will be offered a place at one of their top three preferences.
Cllr Jacquie Russell, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People, Learning and Skills, said: “I am pleased that such a high percentage of families have been offered a place at their preferred primary school. Starting school is an important milestone in a child’s life and this step into formal education is key to helping them achieve their full potential.
“We understand that the small percentage of families who did not get one of their preference places will be disappointed. I would encourage families in this position to contact our admissions team, who are available to discuss their options and provide support with this.”
