Kent - secondary offer day - timing?

34 replies

Nervously anticipating tomorrow! KCC says it's after 4pm for the email, but they said this for the 11+ results too and in reality they came much earlier in the day. Anyone in Kent know if it actually is 4pm, or do they start coming earlier?

For Skinners’, I know that reallocation marks have dropped as low as 363 in previous years. This year I believe the cut-off for March allocation was well below 372.

For Judd, you can find details here https://www.judd.online/attachments/download.asp?file=1843&type=pdf

Does anyone have any idea how low the marks will go for offers during the reallocation process for Judd and Skinners based on evidence from the past years?

My email has come through now. Says we need to email the school directly to confirm acceptance of offer.

No email here but have managed to get into the portal, which is clearly breaking under the pressure!

Have you guys had emails? The portal is loading extremely slowly so I just went on long enough to see that the offer is there but didn't see how to accept it. I'll try later tonight when the servers aren't so inundated.

MumShep21 · 03/03/2025 17:18

Also got our first choice- thankfully 😅

Donesaidtheunicorn · 03/03/2025 16:44

Portal is live - got our 1st choice!

Pigsteperis · 03/03/2025 16:41

We got our first choice grammar. Very pleased child!

RunSlowTalkFast · 03/03/2025 16:40

Yes my offer is there, finally!

Pigsteperis · 03/03/2025 16:37

Portal won't load for me, which suggests it has updated!

RunSlowTalkFast · 03/03/2025 16:33

Portal has updated!!!!

Can see offer?

Pigsteperis · 03/03/2025 16:33

The council "remember to put your bins out" email just landed and my heart jumped 😂

RunSlowTalkFast · 03/03/2025 16:33

I can't understand why KCC has to be so slow with this! All these other LAs getting theirs out at 00.01 and here we are at 4.30pm going mad!

Pigsteperis · 03/03/2025 16:21

We are fairly sure we've got our first choice, but want that email. Come on Kent CC!

Hakkunamattata · 03/03/2025 16:20

Link added in Kent portal but Offers will be available after 5pm

Sounds like that will be a very good score @MumShep21 enough to get your first choice....I'm sure all will be well. Good luck!

Thinking of you all - have done the 11+ and National Offer day waits 4 times in Kent with 4 different children. Three times the emails arrived after 3 and before 4 - one year it was after 5.30 and the portal had crashed so I couldn't check (but he followed his brothers to Skinners' and had the qualifying score so I knew it would be ok - as long as I'd filled in the form properly!)

Good luck - those scores look significantly lower than previous years.....!

Edited

This is my first time. The score achieved I am hoping was more than enough (398) however my main worry is I have not completed the form correctly myself. It’s a horrible wait.

Nothing yet! 11+ result was received by now.
maybe they will keep us waiting until 4pm on the dot?
