Secondary school places announced

Secondary school can be a big change from primary school

If you're in Year Six in England and Wales, you'll be finding out today which secondary school you'll be going to in September.

Most pupils - more than 90% - were offered a place at one of their top three schools in 2023, and more than 80% got their first place.

While many of you will be celebrating getting your first choice, some of you might discover you'll be going to a different school from your friends.

You might be excited about the chance to make new friends and have a fresh start, or you might feel a bit nervous about not knowing anyone.

BBC Radio 1 presenter Katie Thistleton has some good advice if you don't get in to the school you were hoping to go to. Watch the video above.

We also want to know if you got your preferred school - let us know with a comment below.

In Northern Ireland, secondary school places will be sent out on 18 May.

And if you're in Scotland, councils will decide on school places.
