National Primary School Allocation day, 16 April, has seen 90% of children received their first choice school place in the borough. 

All children in Rochdale borough that applied for a place here have been allocated one. 

Gail Hopper, director of children services, said: “Waiting for this day is a nervous, but exciting time, for parents.
