Is anyone else a nervous wreck for the primary school admissions email to come out tomorrow, 16th April 2026? I’ve been a mess all day!!! Has anyone applied for schools in London?

RBKC here, no chance of the admissions results being published on the eAdmissions site before 5:00pm is there? I’ve bitten my nails down to the quick from stress 😭

RBKC too. I doubt it, I've checked a few times just in case but nothing. The waiting is driving me insane!

Placemarking!

Currently checking my emails and the portal on rotation for Sutton Surrey admissions!

Good luck everyone ♡

I think they press send and run for the doors to go home 😂 they don’t wanna be dealing with all the phone calls

Have you ever tried ringing the council? They never answer anytime, so why would they answer today? I think they are just trying to boost their online visit stats while I refresh repeatedly. Imagine the advertising revenue they could be making from me today if they put ads on their portal

The wait is frustrating. Why is London after 5pm? They must know already, why not just press send?

U would think it surely is that easy but it is crazy why its so late in the day

pinkkingfisher · 16/04/2026 09:29

@Alicexo ah okay same Im in the middle of boroughs and technically Bromley but most of the schools I applied to were Lewisham !

@MsMoneyPennie thats what I was thinking? The decision has been made so why the wait 😂

I was feeling really confident that of course she will get the first choice and then since last night I’ve been spiralling. It’s actually ridiculous cos there’s literally nothing we can do about the outcome. Bring on 5pm

Show quote history

Exactly! Unfortunately I will have to try and do something if I get my 3rd choice. The school doesn’t start until 8am and I have to be in work at 8.15am so it’s just not humanly possible!! The stress!!!!

Me too and that's the issue is we cant do anything about the outcome other than hope we get the schools we want and if we dont, we've still got time to get offers... fingers r crossed x
