Following my story revealing the number of Brent 1st preference choices for Michael Community Free School Year 7 admissions for September 2014 was 46, several people have asked about comparable figures for other secondary schools. I have submitted a Freedom of Information request for 1st preference figures for other Brent secondary schools.
Meanwhile the following statistics from last year's admissions (September 2013 applications for Year 7) will give a picture of the relative popularity of Brent secondary schools. These are all applications - not just first preferences. Please be aware that admissions criteria vary between the schools but that many places are filled by siblings of children already in the school. Some schools also give preference to their primary feeder schools.
In 2013 67.26% of Brent Year 6 children got their first choice of secondary school.
