National Offer Day Waiting Room

Anyone else itching for tonight/tomorrow?

Were in Essex and DD passed 11+ in catchment for two grammars so we know it's option one or two but I'm still desperate to know- DD has her heart set on our first choice.

Her friendship group (and my mum friendship group!) have applied for four different schools as first choice so we're not worried about being with friends etc.

We didn't get our choice. I'm an absolute wreck. DS has autism but no statement. The local school is definitely not the place for him. We will appeal but I'm so so scared and we've come.so far with him. He already has one failed school place and was home schooled for a year - he definitely needs to be at school though, home schooling is definitely not the right thing for him.

I just don't know if I can do this shit anymore. Sad

Just posted a thread as totally freaking out.

Logged in at 2am. And there is nothing in the portal. No message. No button to click for offer etc. Other local people posted after midnight their results.

I had email confirmation of application. It's the right link. Right log in.

Very relieved here, good luck all!

Newsername · 01/03/2019 02:21

We’ve got first choice. Still waiting on another application for a new school, but that’ll be by post I’m assuming.

namechangedyetagain · 01/03/2019 02:13

Wilts is 7am. I'm waiting as well and cannot sleep!

Hastag0417 · 01/03/2019 02:00

Oh god I’m glad it’s not just me, I’m terrified he won’t have a place at the preferred school. It’s going to be a stressful situation if he hasn’t and it’s also unlikely. 😖

HappyLife21 · 01/03/2019 01:02

We got our first choice!!! That makes such a massive difference!

Budsbegginingspringinsight · 01/03/2019 00:13

congrats to those who got 1st choice..we are lucky we like both choices...

Budsbegginingspringinsight · 01/03/2019 00:12

Ok it appeared we didnt get 1st choice but would like to accept second and go on waiting list, does anyone know what to do....

CryHavoc · 01/03/2019 00:12

Nothing up for Wiltshire yet.

Ariana30 · 01/03/2019 00:10

Congrats to all those who got their first choice! You can sleep well tonight! Nothing on the website but we are London so we'll have to wait I guess!! More waiting!!

twilightcafe · 01/03/2019 00:09

Oxfordshire offers are on the portal!

Dothehappydance · 01/03/2019 00:08

buds I'm guessing the systems are all similar, mine changed from Application submitted to place offered. Just a small tab in the corner of the details box.

Good luck everyone. I'm hoping it goes like very close to midnight else I'll be up all night worrying 🙄

Budsbegginingspringinsight · 28/02/2019 23:54

Ive managed to get into his email to change the log in, I cant wait!

pleasenotmondayagain · 28/02/2019 23:47

I absolutely was not going to do this. I was going to wait until breakfast, open an email with a calm expression on my face and with fingers that were not shaking.

And yet here I am! Blush I was about to go to bed at 11.15pm and then decided that midnight was so close that I would make a cup of tea and see what I can find out when the first few minutes of March 1st arrive. The LA website just gives the date, no idea of time. My heart is pounding!

Our first choice that is not guaranteed (competitive grammar) and a second choice that is 50/50 (catchment but over-subscribed and we're on the edge of the area). Getting the third choice feels like a poor outcome but I think that's just a psychological thing. It would probably be fine. If DC hadn't fluked a pass in the 11+, I'd be a lot more chilled!

Where have the last 11 years gone?
