Brent Year 6 pupils heard yesterday if they had received an offer of a place from their preferred secondary school. Parents can indicate up to 6 preferences in order. The picture is somewhat complicated in Brent by the fact that the Gateway and Gladstone Secondary Free Schools are still taking applications through their own admissions system.
This is the situation regarding Brent, with its adjacent boroughs and the London Average for comparison:

The 7.25% of pupils who did not receive an offer from any of their preferred schools are likely to be offered places at Crest or Copland.
There is still much uncertainty over children offered places at Gladstone and Gateway which have still not acquired school sites six months before they are due to open. Michaela has a building but no work has yet started on its refurbishment.
