The figures reveal that two in every three secondaries in England were oversubscribed this year - with 66% seeing more parents putting them down as a first choice than were offered a place.In comparison, primary schools are much easier to get into, with fewer than one in three oversubscribed this year - down from nearly half of primaries nine years ago.
