Parents find out where their child has been offered a primary school place this week.
Tuesday, April 16 is National Offer Day when councils notify parents where their child has been allocated a school place.
Some parents may already have been notified via email or by logging onto their local authority's website.
The majority of mums and dads, however, will find out on the day.
It can be an stressful time for parents - especially for those who aren’t offered places at one of their preferred school.
Parents who are disappointed with their allocated school can appeal.

But parents must meet the appeal deadline and include any evidence they think will support their case.
Local authorities should include instructions on how to do this in in their offer letter or email.
Or people can download an appeal form from their council’s website.
All local authorities and schools say appeals should be submitted as soon as possible.
Details of the deadline will be included on the offer letter or email.
How do I appeal?
You are entitled to appeal against the council’s decision to refuse your child a place.
If you live in Manchester, you can fill out a form on the council website here.
Other areas of the region may have different appeals processes.
Details of how to appeal should be included with the letter you received with the bad news, and sometimes an appeal form is automatically included.
