More families in the capital secured a place at their top choice of primary school this year amid a significant drop in the number of applications during the pandemic, figures show.
More than one in eight (13%) children who applied to start at a London primary school this autumn missed out on their first choice, according to data published by the Pan London Admissions Board.
London primary schools received 90,807 applications this year – a 7% fall on last year.
The turbulence caused by Covid-19 may have led to families missing the application deadline, the admissions organisation has suggested.
But application numbers may have been affected by longer term impacts of the pandemic, such as families moving out of the city due to changes in their circumstances and working patterns, it added.
