Brent secondary school applications for September 2014 - the figures

I have now had a very belated response to my FoI request on applications for secondary school places in Brent for September 2014.

Two new free schools due to open in September 2014, but so far without premises, Gladstone and Gateway Academy, are not included as they handle their own admissions rather than using the Brent Common Admissions Form

The table is useful in order to assess the relative popularity of schools and to see where there may be vacancies in September. You can also see where there are large numbers of applications from outside the borough.

Parents can make up to six choices in order of preference so the total of applications in colum2 does not represent the number of children applying.
