The vast majority of new applications for primary school places in Swansea have been successful with only a small number unable to secure their first choice. Only nine pupils starting primary school in September this year out of 1,942 didn't get a place at their chosen school - seven at St Helen's primary, Sandfields, and two at YGG Bryn y Mor, Brynmill - because they were oversubscribed.

The figures relate to applications which were submitted to the council on time. A council spokesman urged any parent who has still not applied for a reception place for their child to do so as soon as possible.

He added: "The very small number of on-time applications from families living in Swansea that did not secure a place at their first preference school have been offered a place at either their second preference or their designated catchment school in the language of their choice. Families can be assured that whichever school their child attends they will receive a good education in safe, secure, and happy surroundings."
