DS has had a 'provisional offer' from a highly competitive sixth form. In his offer letter they make very clear it's provisional but there is no grade offer whatsoever so it's impossible to know what they're asking for.
Their process is that on results day you submit your results to them online and they will then let you know whether you actually got in to the sixth form and can enrol or not. One of the enrolment days is the day after results day.
Is this usual? How does this work? His current school enrol sixth form on results day so if he doesn't end up getting in to this other school, he'll have missed enrolment.
Are schools open for several days after results to sort everything out? (Current school is secondary with sixth form, competitive school is sixth form only). Is it unreasonable of this school to do it in this way so that even when we've got results we don't know what's happening? It's put me off a bit, to be honest but I only have experience of my older son who started at school and it was very straightforward.
