Parents across Sheffield have just discovered what primary school their children have been allocated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Almost 95% of pupils were allocated into their first place school, with only 32 pupils getting their third preference place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a slight decrease from last year, with over 95% of children being accepted into their first preference schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mother of two Rebecca Lomas, said: \u201cIt means the world, obviously your children are your pride and joy. As a mum, every single decision that I make in my life somehow revolves around my children in some way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo be able to put him in the school that I wanted him to, which is a fantastic school and we\u2019re incredibly lucky, it means the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her son Zach is three and was accepted into their first preference school despite the family living over a mile outside of catchment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has put Zach\u2019s acceptance into the school down to the fact that his older brother, Alfie aged six, was already at the school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many parents the wait to see what school their child has been put into can be a very anxious one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs Lomas said: \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly stressful, it\u2019s an incredibly nerve-wracking time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the first real start in life, it can just shape everything, their friendship groups, their education, so it\u2019s incredibly important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
