It is not long until parents in Mansfield and Ashfield will be told which primary school place has been offered to their child for the next academic year.
The allocation day for primary school places in the area is April 17, according to Nottinghamshire Council.
We’ve taken a look at the town primary schools rated good or outstanding at their most recent full inspection.
Schools rated as such receive an inspection about every four years to confirm that the school status remains.
The follow-up inspection is an ungraded inspection.
If inspectors find evidence that a school is better than it was, or that standards may be declining, education chiefs will carry out a full inspection with graded judgements within 1 to 2 years of the date of the ungraded inspection.
Where a school receives more applications than places available, not all applications will be successful and parents can appeal.
Here are 24 primary schools currently rated as outstanding or good by Ofsted - has your child applied to be a pupil at one of these schools?
