Urgh.
We're in a pickle. DD in tears as desperately doesn't want to go to the school she's been allocated anymore (sibling place) despite being fine with it at the time of application.
All her friends are going elsewhere but we're not in catchment.
This is going to be tricky.

I had to click on apply for a school place to be able to log in and then on view applications to see mine x couldn't log in any other way than clicking apply for a place X

Last year (yes we had to do this last year as well) it took a while for Notts

In Lancashire. Nothing as yet. Gonna try and sleep

ProcrastinatingWithVipers · 01/03/2024 00:26

Liverpool has a Message on the application portal saying 12pm.

Logged on, just in case and it's changed to say "offer made" but frustratingly no information!

slithytoveisascientist · 01/03/2024 00:20

Nothing for Cheshire yet

I'm in Nottinghamshire our portal updates at midnight and emails sent out from 8.30am. this last hour is going so slowly. hope it doesn't crash! 🤣

Previous years we’ve been in Notts who’ve been quick. Unfortunately now over the border and no news yet

Flametornado · 01/03/2024 00:16

Good luck to everyone else still waiting and congratulations to those with good news already x

Flametornado · 01/03/2024 00:15

My son got first choice, absolutely delighted x

poolcrew · 01/03/2024 00:11

It's meant to be 10am for me. I'm 5 hours behind so keep checking in case it magically appears at midnight! At least when I get up in the morning it will be there

Andintotheseawego · 01/03/2024 00:09

I must stop pressing 'refresh' and go back to sleep! I woke up at 11.59...so aware even in my sleep!

BettyBoo246 · 01/03/2024 00:09

I logged on at 00.00 and the offer was there already.

We got our 1st choice thankfully

Good luck to everyone else

TheGriffle · 01/03/2024 00:08

Nothing here yet but I’ve got no idea when they normally send the emails/update the portal.

StormHawk · 01/03/2024 00:05

I think the portal must be updating right now, just tried to get on but can’t. Managed to get on the site without difficulty half an hour ago, I wonder if everyone else is trying right now too and that’s why it’s not working

Nothing here in Lancashire yet. It just says emails will be sent throughout the working day tomorrow.

DanceMum - we're in Lancs too! I also heard they are sending them in batches by email during the day tomorrow - so they won't go out all at once. I am not sure if/when they update the online portal.

@Littlecatsfeet logged on to the council portal thing where we made the application then later the email came through- after I'd already accepted it! Honestly try logging on. All of DD's classmates know.

Is that on the e-admissions thing? My borough seems to have another site you go to accept an offer but it asks for a pupil id and that's nowhere in the application Hmm

Count your blessings you weren't waiting 2 weeks ago for the EHCP allocation of y7 places to be sent and hearing your local council would rather your 10yo stayed in mainstream despite being suicidal because she can't cope in mainstream primary (yet alone a secondary of 1000+). But at least if she's dead it won't cost the council anything! That's their one and only criterion for decision making.
