Offers Day 1st March 2012

I feel relieved today. It has been months of anxiety and I almost wished I'd not bothered with what I did. DS passed for an independent grammar but I found on Tuesday that he did not get a bursary so I can't afford to send him. I was gutted for a few hours. He got into the local comp where a lot of his friends will be going. I'm sure he will be fine. I'm just relieved the whole thing is done for us.

Woman on phone at LEA gave me wrong info the other day, offers were online from this morning.

DD has school we wanted which is one I'd have laughed at anyone telling me I'd be nervously waiting for a couple of years ago.

Are there any Lambeth based mums on this net? we go live at 5pm too

Today is going so slow! Ds has gone off on a trip to London and I'm hoping I can tell him when he gets back. His senco doesn't know yet either so she's eagerly waiting to find out too grrr

Well done to those who got first choice. We got for first choice for DD, a very good comp now academy. We are lucky to live in Derbyshire with no grammars or selective schools so never had the worry of 11+ etc.

I told a lie. Allocations must have been posted yesterday -come in the post todAY.

DD got her one and only choice, they emailed a bit after 8 and confirmed in the post, very efficient.
(a tiny bit of me will always wish she'd wanted to try for the Grammar, but she absolutely wanted to go to the same school as DD1 and her friends)

It's a properly comprehensive school with sets for all abilities. The difference is she'll have to want to do well and show she can.

However, she wont get stupidly long days followed by mounds of HW.

Thanks Booby :) It's a good faith school, but we're not church goers and we're out of catchment, so we thought it was a long shot. Just so thrilled for DS, as he really wanted to go there

In our LEA they are all sent out by post today regardless of whether you applied online or not.

Hurrah we got our choice so dd will be joining her big sister there

DD is going to a bog standard faith school.
Apparently, our offers are being posted today and being emailed to us in six days time which is odd.

Moozle, same happened to me but primary and they had 2 places to find for my ds's. They found places as they have to. I had to compromise though both different schools next to each other. One community one church not even our religion, but it worked. Custard is right and you will find lots of support on here so if it does go badly people can help. Good luck to you, I have it again in few years. How the bloody hell are you supposed to know how a flamin crow flys, thought we had good standard measurements now such as miles?

Adversecamber. Congrats on your bog standard comp. Did you wait up all night on tenterhooks and find the whole build up very stressful, lol. I wouldn't have thought you did. I'm sure your dc will have the same chances as all the others. Bless you, bog standard comps rule.

Its really not a big deal.

I am London SW and i am sure results do not go on line till 5pm when the wed site crashes because many people log on at the same time ..or so i read on another thread somewhere on msnet ? Is it true that p school do know results already?

ooo could we call up?

We won't hear until 4 this afternoon.

We are also waiting. DS1 is at a new school as we moved him late last year and can stay there until GCSE's or go to another school come September. DH and I just don't know what to do. DS1 passed his 11+.

im going to stop looking... evening is evening so ill wait .. until then will see the teachers at school and see if i can squeeze anything out lol ha ha ha

I've just phoned up. DD got my her first choice.
The only fly in the ointment is DH considering applying for Head of school there.

We had to wait to find out for DD (couple of years ago) bizzey for the same reason as you - applied by post

Actually, although we had to wait longer, it worked out quite well, because I could ask people what they'd got but say we didn't know yet. So was easier to be pleased for them or sympathetic as needed.

And in the end we got our good news. It was fab !

How lucky are some of you to know your results already!! Congrats to those who got what they wanted.

I did not do mine on line as i was worried i press delete instead of send!! in fact i didn't even trust the post and handed all mine in by hand !!! Which means i (we)have to wait till TOMMOROW 11.30 AM for MR postman.

This has been the longest week ever!! I am not normally a pessimist but am avidly following the advice been given on appeals.

Hi all congrats to all who got their first choice - We live in Essex and got our choice last night. We had four choices and I put down two of the choice which my dd wanted to go because her friends put down but realistically we told her that she probably wouldn't get in because we didn't come under the catchment area. We are very happy with our 4th choice!!! but have had confirmation that we can go on the shortlist for 1st choice but dd is happy either way.

im realistic there could be alot of siblings and im open to viewing a school that i may get that wasnt on my list before i ram in for appeal appeal, ill be sensible so ds doesnt pick up,
i feel maybe the children will adapt better than us my ds didnt bat an eye lid this morning was more worried if there was enough nutella for another round of breakfast
