Thank you for all the lovely messages and thank you for all the support on here through this process, it’s really kept me sane at times! Wishing all those still waiting the very best of luck - still so much movement to come in the next few days I’m sure x

Our wait list place for FHSS turned into an offer yesterday afternoon - ecstatic! One very happy DD here. Sending good luck vibes to those still waiting, keep the faith, everything crossed for you🤞

Really happy for you and your DD! I know how much you wanted FHSS. Great to see WL moving.

We've turned down all the offers we're not taking but I know a lot of people who are spending this weekend deciding between their final two, so there will undoubtedly be a lot of movement next week. Fingers crossed for those on WL.

travelturtle · 02/03/2024 09:51

Great to hear all the WL places turning into offers. Yes I think admissions are probably working over the weekend as acceptances/rejections come through so they can work out if they need to go into their WL. We made final decision last week (Emanuel 😊) but still know lots of people holding more than one offer so expect lots of movement next week still. Good luck to those still waiting 🤞

Waitingamer · 02/03/2024 09:05

So happy for those who have got their WL places. Do people think that Admissions will work over the weekend or can I take some time off from thinking about all this until Monday 😅?

@Summerma @Ian85 @11plus2nd @Clairesm interesting points on the KGS front and yes, I'd want to know whether their growing state means they might have expanded their pool a little this year. However, there were (that I know), three boys applications from our state primary to KGS, with two offers (2/3); they all had some tutoring (moderate) but the boy who didn't get an offer or indeed an interview was doing less well. Hampton offered to 4/5 applicants; these boys are from a very wide ability group and all but one had been heavily tutored. 1/4 offers for LU (a moderately tutored boy). Most of the Hampton group did not make it to LU interview (only 1/5) but the two who got KGS offers did (2/2).

Nobody from that group applied to all three (KGS, Hampton and LU) so difficult to make three-point comparisons but, in my very small sample, Hampton seems to have been the more achievable option for boys (with robust tutoring) this year.

If it's any comparison, my DS applied for all three you mention. LU, KGS and Hampton. He got all three however Hampton is definitely more difficult to get than KGS and I'm not sure about Hampton vs LU although one comparison is that LU had approx 1400 sit and Hampton had just under 800.

@IndieAnna one of dds friends was offered PHS this afternoon.
Her mum got a call when I was with her! So I think schools are saying there is no movement when there is. Just adding more opacity to the situation!!

Hello

I know that I am a bore and have said this earlier (either on this thread or the previous one) but today is the day of state school offers. If you are going to take the independent school place, please do release the state school place (if you have applied to one).

I understand that there are schools where a handful of children don’t turn up in September each year because there is no financial incentive for the parents to release the state school place. This makes things difficult for children who didn’t get their first choice state school and then are offered it after their parents have bought uniform for the second / third choice.
