Just another to thing to stress about but it's for my PFB so never been through it before. We find out on the 1st March, am being a silly stress head on here rather than in real life. Any one else? We are in the same postcode as the school we prefer, so it's a big deal if it goes wrong!

I see, thanks @mimbleandlittlemy

@New21

Do you know what information will the school sent to us in March? Is it just a normally just a letter/email about the school offer or do they generally send more, e.g information on school day timings, uniform etc?
You just get told which school. All other information comes from the school in due course - and that can mean well in to the summer term so don't stress if you don't get a full list of equipment etc by the end of March!

I think it's the allocation letter followed by info from the school at a later date...

@New21 the Local Authority will let you know about a school place. You probably won't get much information from the school until May earliest I would think, possibly later.

I know DD won't get her 1st choice and it's most likely she'll get 3rd, 4th or 6th choices. We'll be hoping on waiting list movement!

I am waiting to find out for ds too - he took the 11+ and thankfully he did really well so his first choice is pretty much guaranteed...doesn’t mean I’m not eager to see it written down though!

exactly the same here. We're in a feeder school, live 20 doors down, but still so worried.

I am. Can’t stress at husband as he will think I’m being silly as the school we want is fairly guaranteed but can’t quite relax until I know as we don’t really have a good plan b as there are no other easy to get to schools nearby.
