100% of pupils moving from infant to junior school secured their first preference school.
Parents across the county have found out today which primary school their child will attend this autumn.
There were 7,169 applications received this year and Leicestershire County Council says a record 98.9% of children have been offered a place at one of their top three school preferences.
Jane Moore, director of children and family services at Leicestershire County Council, said: "It is fantastic to see the vast majority of children in Leicestershire get a place at one of their top three primary school preferences, and especially to see so many first choice places awarded.
“We’re pleased for everyone with a successful outcome and recognise also that not every pupil has secured one of the places they had hoped for.
“We are ready to support any families who need advice and encourage them to get in touch with us as soon as possible to discuss alternative school options, including how to make an appeal.
“Don’t forget that for any school refused, you will be put on that school’s waiting list and if a place becomes available, you’ll automatically be contacted.
“I’d like to wish all children starting school for the first time a successful and enjoyable start to their schooling."
More than 94% of youngsters due to start school for the first time have secured a place at their first preference school, with 3.7% being offered their second preference and 1% being offered their third preference primary school.
For children moving from infant to junior school (years two to three), 100% of pupils secured their first preference school.
