Few times I was anxious for 14th February. Never thought I will wait this intensely for 11th February :-)) Work, wine and then??? What else???

Book a holiday for Feb half term and spend time looking forward to that!

I did exactly the same two years ago and kept thinking whatever happens come results day (which is always conveniently planned to be before half term) we are going to enjoy life!

Most people I know did the same. Life is so much more than exams and school places.

I had a mini heart attack today when I got an email from a school, couldn’t see full title on phone but saw the word ‘Results’…turns out it was just to confirm we’ll hear from them on the 11th, aarrgghhh

Me too. With almost all the assessments over, and most schools close to making their decisions it seems a long wait to Feb 11.

I really think that with so many schools now doing assessments in Nov/Dec they could reconsider the timescales. Previously for many schools the whole process took just over a month (early Jan to mid Feb). Now it’s more like three (mid Nov to mid Feb).

Offers day (for state) is 1 March.

Um, what's happening on the 11th February?

Sounds too late for 11+ results and too early for state school school places?
