Today is the day Sheffield parents and their little ones find out which 'big school' they are going to this September.
National Offer Day 2024 (March 1) is when children find out which secondary school they will start at in the new academic year.
Every parent wants their little one to go to the best school they can. So when they pick their top three preferences for the new academic year, it can make finding out on March 1 a momentous day.
However, not everyone gets into their first choice - the very best schools can turn away nearly as many students as they have places to offer, they are that in demand.
Below, we've listed which Sheffield secondary schools were the most 'oversubscribed' for September 2023, meaning they were the hardest to get into for a place in Y7.
13. Westfield School - nine per cent oversubscribed
Westfield School turned away 26 pupils to fill its 270 places, making it the thirteenth most oversubscribed school in Sheffield. With a Progress 8 score of -0.34, Westfield School is considered 'below average' compared to the rest of England. | Google Maps
