School offer day: what time?

70 replies

ghqpabks · 01/03/2025 09:13

Our LA usually updates the portal at midnight, I stayed awake last time I went through it. Last time I want to say the school offer day was a Tuesday so I stayed up on the Monday night. This time it's the 3rd so I assume our portal will be updated on Sunday night, anyone else know for their area?

(Our website doesn't actually say, only gives the date).

I’m in london so know it won’t be til 5pm but still logged in to check 😭

I’m realising how impatient I am. Should probably work on it.

Aarrghh! Mine states that the offer has been made, when I click on that it states that the offer information has not yet been published. I'm going to have to go to bed or I will keep refreshing the page like a mad woman. Congrats to those with their first choice!

We don’t have a portal to log in to unfortunately so just waiting for the email. Someone on fb has already had theirs and whinging about the school I put down as first choice. People are so inconsiderate

Chillilounger · 03/03/2025 00:32

Same. Phew!

Ohdearrrrrrr · 03/03/2025 00:31

First choice, I logged on at midnight. Will have a happy child in the morning.

OneChicOliveBeaker · 03/03/2025 00:30

I don’t even know where to look on the portal… anyone in Leicestershire able to see theirs yet?

KittenTail · 03/03/2025 00:29

Yes got in first choice, good luck to all

My friend hasn't got any of her daughter's choices (4) she's been given a school they've never visited!

discov · 03/03/2025 00:20

I can't log in. It says it has sent a verification code but nothing is coming through Sad

No33 · 03/03/2025 00:17

First choice for my daughter 😁

Alice2535 · 03/03/2025 00:13

No change on the portal for me, just says application is being processed and cannot be amended :(

Anxietyqueeen · 03/03/2025 00:10

Didn't get our first choice. My son won't be happy :(

Anothercoffeeafter3 · 03/03/2025 00:09

1st Choice DS will be so happy in the morning

DragonFly98 · 03/03/2025 00:05

Midnight for us just signed on the portal , email followed a few minutes later.

Dazzlemered · 03/03/2025 00:04

First choice for my DC 😊

AliceMcK · 03/03/2025 00:03

I’ve just remembered, after looking online, I can’t log into the portal, they shut it down and send emails out during working ours. That’s me off to bed then.

Done like clockwork, we got the space we wanted. And breathe!

Leicestershire was midnight last year.

Parts of Warwickshire are out. Early reports suggesting grammar entry scores have jumped up this year.

AliceMcK · 02/03/2025 23:09

I’m already awake so may as well stay up another hour.

im not worried, feeder school, faith and sibling already in the school, but I would like to know for certain.

sunshineandshowers40 · 02/03/2025 23:08

Surrey is usually at 5pm, you can see the outcome on the portal but it can take a couple of hours before the email comes through.

fashionqueen0123 · 02/03/2025 22:59

I’m so tired but equally it’s only an hour away…

Not long to go now for the midnight crew! Not decided if I am going to stay up or not yet!

Do most LA's update the portal at midnight? I'm debating whether to stay awake Confused

I thought they all did but after reading a few threads I’m not so sure now. I’m staying up anyway though. I neeeeeeeeed to know.

Awcw1234 · 02/03/2025 21:58

I’ve been told by my council that emails will be sent from 10am onwards but wondering the same!
