Figures released this week revealed that 97% of Thurrock children have been offered one of their top three choices of primary school for the new September 2021 academic year.
Since 2016 Thurrock Council has invested in expanding schools, generating over 2,000 additional school places over the last five years in a bid to ensure Thurrock children can continue to receive the best possible education for generations to come.
