Hello, I know there’s an excellent thread for the girls. Not sure if there’s one for the boys? Anyone want to come on board? I know we can’t divulge details of round two grammars since there will be late sitters, but was thinking more of a support thread. Any takers?

Congrats @TheExtraGuineaPig !

Been lurking on here for a while...has anyone heard anything from Dulwich yet (11+)? Also, does anyone know the range of academic scholarships available at Dulwich and Trinity? I remember seeing a list of lots of schools and their % ranges?

@TheExtraGuineaPig Great news. Hope everyone copes today, no matter what the results.

TadlowDogIncident · 12/02/2021 09:52

Congratulations @TheExtraGuineaPig!

TheExtraGuineaPig · 12/02/2021 09:49

Well that was a shock - an email from KGS while I was trying to distract myself from waiting for the post. A good news email - much excitement here as it's first choice! Smile

TheExtraGuineaPig · 12/02/2021 09:36

Good luck everyone! X

Waiting for KGS and St George's here. Hoping the postman isn't too late!

TadlowDogIncident · 12/02/2021 09:28

Emmanuel has sent its emails out already (was lurking on the girls' thread!). Unfortunately we didn't apply there.

Esher2021 · 12/02/2021 09:25

How many times has refresh been hit this morning? It is too early anyway Confused!

Pyrfwondering · 12/02/2021 09:09

Good luck to everyone waiting on the postman or praying that your broadband stays in good shape, today. Hang on in there! It's the last few hours before you have all the options in front of you. Hope everyone gets the offer they are hoping for. They are all fantastic schools, so with one offer or 5 offers, your DSs will have a great secondary education Grin

ElonanotAlone · 12/02/2021 09:08

Congratulations @Queenofhearts1 a wonderfully amazing result, you must be thrilled!

BookShark · 11/02/2021 21:49

Echoing both the congratulations to Queenofhearts1 and also the good luck wishes for tomorrow. Hopefully the postmen are up nice and early and any emails come well before the 4pm deadline!

Queenofhearts1 · 11/02/2021 21:11

Thank you to all the lovely people on this thread. Fingers crossed for you all!

GrammarHopeful · 11/02/2021 20:42

Good luck to all for tomorrow. Hope the postman / emails bring the good news!

FlyingPandas · 11/02/2021 20:02

Congratulations, @Queenofhearts1 - fab news!

Esher2021 · 11/02/2021 16:56

That is brill @Queenofhearts1

ElonanotAlone · 11/02/2021 16:14

13+ for Hampton were scheduled today... sigh just one more day..

Time feels like we are on slow-mo these past few days.. 😫

Iffiyas · 11/02/2021 16:06

@Queenofhearts1 congratulations! I hope they email everyone today, the wait is really painful!

NoToMisogyny · 11/02/2021 16:02

Congratulations! Was the 13plus due tomorrow or today?

Queenofhearts1 · 11/02/2021 15:56

We got the Hampton email an hour ago. DS got a place for 13+ entry. We are so pleased!
Good luck to all.

Esher2021 · 11/02/2021 09:55

For us KCS and Hampton are email, RGS is post. Good luck for tomorrow to all, nervous and excited.

FlyingPandas · 11/02/2021 09:06

Interesting (and a relief) to hear that many schools are swapping to emails for confirmation of results! The post is so erratic around us at the moment.

As far as I know RGS are still just posting results, unless I’ve missed an email confirming otherwise.

Good luck to everyone for tomorrow!

TadlowDogIncident · 11/02/2021 07:52

LU is posting today, emailing tomorrow. I hope I’ll get the email in the morning as our post never arrives till lunchtime! I’m really nervous on DS’s behalf (he doesn’t know the exact date results are due, just that we’ll get them in mid-Feb).

BookShark · 10/02/2021 12:15

Hampton was one of the areas mentioned as having postal issues a few weeks ago. I wonder if they've decided not to risk things being delayed/having to field loads of phone calls from people who haven't heard.

Queenofhearts1 · 10/02/2021 09:48

@Esher2021 I thought it would be post.. at least that's what it states on their website.

Esher2021 · 09/02/2021 13:07

Congratulations to everyone with offers and wait list places. Everyone else hang in there, and stay positive.
