Parents across the UK are finding out today whether their children have been accepted into their first-choice secondary school.

But National Offer Day, as it’s known, led to disappointment last year with reports of thousands missing out of their top choice. This was particularly the case in big cities such as London and Birmingham. It looks like it could be a similar story this year, with reports that 90,000 could be left disappointed.

What has your experience been? Did you get your first, second or third choice? What do you plan on doing next if you missed out? Share photos, stories and views.
