NAD is 2 March, does that mean they send the email at midnight just as it turns 2 March? Is it even sent at midnight? Anyone know?

Northamptonshire offers came at 12.45

Son allocated same school as older sibling. He’ll be devastated as am I. I don’t.even know whether to tell him in the morning or when he gets home.

Got mine at 00.40 just as I was about to give up and go to bed. Second choice, which DS had been saying he thought he preferred anyway, so happy with that.

I'm up north we got ours at 4am this morning. Dt got in to our local school (the only one I put down) however they do have a sibling at the school, live in the catchment and the next nearest school is in another county.

Do you have an app? Just the website or email here in Lancs :/

WhatAGreatDay · 01/03/2020 17:17

London is available online at exactly 5pm (never earlier). The email can take hours to arrive, even the next day so I wouldn't wait for the email.

Maranello4 · 01/03/2020 14:34

It depends - we’re in Kent and some people received an email in the morning. We were told it would be 4pm, I received my email at 6.30pm.

Ellle · 01/03/2020 14:27

We already know the results here (Leicestershire). We didn't get the email but friends started asking what school our son got offered, so I logged online and the result was there.

AHippoNamedBooBooButt · 01/03/2020 10:01

We're in a grammar town and we've selected a comprehensive which isn't outstanding but is good and we really thought it suited ds. Fwiw, if we had put down a second choice it wouldve been the school I work in (our second closest comp) so I'm aware of how the admissions work.
Schools round here are all oversubscribed but that's because of all the house building without the infrastructure. The kids have to go somewhere so the schools have to take them whether they have space or not

MarchingFrogs · 01/03/2020 09:37

We only applied for 1 school which is our closest so cannot see any reason why ds wont be allocated it.

Not knowing your particular school's admissions policy or how far up the criteria your DS is ranked according to it, but in general terms, I can think of some scenarios where a school being the closest to a home address would not be a guarantee of a place, I'm afraid. Naming only one school is usually regarded as a risky strategy, so I do hope that you had advice from a suitable source before adopting it.

TalaxuArmiuna · 01/03/2020 07:31

good luck too @AHippoNamedBooBooButt - unfortunately applying to only your closest school is no guarantee if that school is oversubscribed and you aren't on the doorstep. but fingers crossed all will be ok.

AHippoNamedBooBooButt · 01/03/2020 07:28

Kent is 4pm
We only applied for 1 school which is our closest so cannot see any reason why ds wont be allocated it. Good luck to everyone else though, in hope you all get your first choices

Juliette20 · 01/03/2020 07:25

Emails after 4pm, login after 5pm in my area.

winniethekid · 01/03/2020 07:25
