<p>On Secondary National Offer Day on 1 March 2019, the vast majority of parents will
have been offered a place at one of their preferred schools. The 2018 data showed
that last year more than nine in ten pupils got a place at one of their top three
choices, setting them on the path for a successful future. Standards have also risen
since 2010 with 86% of schools now judged as good or outstanding, compared to 68%
in 2010, meaning there are more good schools for parents to send their children to
- and that is in part down to the Government’s reforms.</p><p>The vast majority of
new places are being created in the best existing schools or through good new schools.
Data show 91% of places added in 2016/17 were in good and outstanding schools. Overall,
the Government is on track to create 1 million new school places this decade (2010
to 2020), the largest increase in school capacity in 2 generations.</p>
