March 1st secondary school offer email

62 replies

Dear all,
We are waiting for an offer (hopefully 1st preference) for DS secondary school on March 1st. Just wondering what time the offer email comes? We have applied through Croydon council.

Sorry to hear that @Letshopethisdietworks
Were you in the catchment? I hope you have been offered your second choice then? There is always hope with waiting list, stay strong and positive. London results- we are still waiting

So gutted we didn't get first choice 😣. DS will be sad

Ours are 9.30-10ish. I'd presumed that was so kids were safely in school and not distracted by it, but giving parents time to take it all in and decided whether to appeal or not if they didn't get 1st preference (or dash out and buy the tie to wave triumphantly at the school gate at pick-up time if they did)

8.41am mine arrived. We only put one preference (it was a dead cert tbf) so it’s good to have it in black and white.

This year of course with the extra fun of 1st March being a Friday... Think it was like this the year my eldest heard. Actually I think it's a good thing. It gives families time to think things over rather than knee-jerk react to an allocation outcome they may initially not be keen on.

Good luck to everyone who is waiting.

Sutton grammars are in the London system and you won't hear until 5pm (on website) or sometime this evening when your email arrives.

DrDreReturns · 01/03/2019 06:53

I've got my email, I'm in Worcestershire. It was sent at 1am.

MRSMYM · 01/03/2019 06:53

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 01/03/2019 06:48

Ah ok, no I’m RBWM.

AnotherNewt · 28/02/2019 21:44

pan- as in the prefix meaning 'all'

It refers to the unified system used by every single London borough, plus Surrey. That's a lot of families having to bite their nails until 5pm (ish - sometimes it's live on the website a bit before, probably because they don't want it to be late)

imip · 28/02/2019 20:44

Pan London here last year and I’m sure I got it after 3. I’m pretty sure I logged on to find out.

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 28/02/2019 20:41

What’s pan London? (Obviously I know what London is! What’s the pan bit?)

@GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat
Morning itself, is your council associated with Pan London?

I am getting super nervous as the day goes!!! The last year has been extremely hectic for DS and our entire family with classes, prep, homework, mock tests etc etc. And to think that all the efforts are down to just one result it is nerve wrecking! Grammar schools are our only option for selective schools as cannot afford independent schools. I wish the results were this Friday!!!!

I tried the app and either it was crap or I did something wrong. I think the website is the best option.
