Has anyone tried for independent schools (North London/East London) and not got any offers? How did you manage it/disappointment? We arent there yet but you read so much about the numerous offers people get. What if we get none.

You be really realistic about what your DC can achieve and apply to the right schools and you should get offers.

Its a few years ago now but I had another parent looking down on me for the schools I chose for my DC, and looked at me like I was mad for going for choosing "second tier" schools, except her DC was very very similar to mine.

They got no offers. Because they chose the wrong schools.

I felt very very sorry for the child.
