Part 2: SW London Girl's Indies 11+ Pandemic Panic!

So sorry to those waitlisted! We have already released our PHS and WHS offers as accepting LEH. Others will do the same! I’m certain all schools will be going to waitlist this year. We applied to 7 schools and we’re not unusual.

Lurking here! Well done all and hold tight those on the WLs.
I don’t think the Co- Ed’s- LU, Emanuel etc will offer earlier as the boys schools still seem firm on next Friday. The girls schools have always tended to do their own thing a bit more. Suspect the consortium schools have to stick to the same dates as well.

Omg we have received our first offer Wasn’t expecting PHS until next week. It’s not our first choice but DD is thrilled as she felt she was the only one in her class without a firm offer at this stage. I’m a bit more relaxed now waiting for the other offers and almost feel like celebrating tonight
Sorry for those with WL offers but as others have said, more than ever this year these are likely to be transformed into firm offers sooner or later. If we get our first choice next week, we will be releasing PHS and other potential offers promptly (we applied to 5 schools).

Big hugs to your DD @Tr0ubled. Is PHS high on your preferred list? It’s far from over, as I’m sure you know.

@Stircrazyschoolmum, I wish the other schools would just get on with it now! I really don’t see the point of waiting until next week now, with the other schools not following ‘the agreement’ this year. Surely they must all know who they are offering places to etc now

Oh, and Emanuel of course.. and Ibstock?

Is LU the last one to the west to declare? All the Dulwich schools plus SCHS are also next week I think..

So many congratulations to those with offers.
We’ve just had a surprise email from PHS, surprise as in wasn’t expecting to hear for another week but not really a surprise in that DD has been waitlisted. I say that as her interview didn’t go that well so I would’ve been surprised with an offer really.
I’m dreading telling her as at this stage she knows academically she was fine so to not be accepted really is just down to personality and that’s a pretty tough dose of reality for a 10 year old.

Congratulations to everyone who's has good news today! It feels a long time to wait for LU on 12th Feb.

Oh my!! What a lovely surprise. Congratulations again @Stircrazyschoolmum and @Flossietea. Very well done to your DDs

We just got an email with an offer from PHS.. I’m standing with the dog on the common in tears!

@Flossietea what an amazing surprise, congratulations! Congrats to all the happy ones today and best of luck to all the WL, am sure there will be plenty of movement!

People waiting to hear from PHS - I just randomly logged into our open apply portal to check something and it tells you if you have an offer. We got one because there’s an option to accept or reject it and all the application paperwork is there.
!!!!!!!!

@dinosaurinmybelly what are WHS offering by way of exploring the school more? It’s not one we applied for, but I’m intrigued as I hope ours will follow suit! It’s hard to get a feel for the schools when we haven’t seen them. Are they doing tasters?

Congratulations to everyone 👍

Hello, good news here too from WHS. Such a relief! I'm really pleased they are offering opportunities to explore the school more in the next few weeks, albeit virtually.

I do think the WL will move a lot this year as others have said. Really hope the dust settles in the next couple of weeks and all of our DDs can look forward to new adventures.

@WarmAndco3y thanks for your kind words. Fingers crossed 🤞

@Yossahughes well done for being able to make a swift decision, give or take the weekend. Such a good feeling.
Hope the postman hurries up for those still waiting.
@GU22Mum sorry that hear about WL, hope this situation changes for you as offers are released by those who don’t need them.
Are there are more schools expected to release results or are the rest of us waiting until 11th/12th now. It just feels like such a long time away.

Thanks @Yossahughes

Leh is large envelope

LHS results it is Large envelope or small envelope? We are really panic 😒

Ohh 😮 we missed that part ...

@siz99 They’re just sending offer or waitlist. That’s what the head said in the parent talks.

Sorry, no idea. We still waiting for the POSTMAN 🤔

Does anyone know if LEH is sending yes/no/wl letters or if they are only yes/wl?

@stircrazyschoolmum you are right that everyone will have different considerations and as they are all amazing schools you can’t really go wrong. Having older DCs and knowing what it’s like when they start to socialise more, we have paid particular attention to commute times and the location of possible friendship groups. We are lucky to have so many fantastic girls school in the south west....
