Waiting for that secondary school letter (1st march?)

Managed to get into the LEA website at 18.50 after trying all day - still no e-mail though.

Got our 3rd choice which I am still really happy with as we are outwith the catchment(even different LEA) for our first 3 choices which are all really good and heavily oversubscribed.

Our designated school isnt traditionally seen as good as our first two choices but is improving all the time, has had shedloads of money spent on it, and looking at the UK is still well above average.

Will probably be where most of DS' friends will be going too he is happy as well

If we hadnt got into these we would more than likely have been allocated a place in a school which was put into special measures last week.

Sorry for all those who are still waiting - it is really frustrating.

Cat64, The head of Kent LEA confirmed that the results WERE correct. Twas on the BBC website.

Faints with stress of the London site crashing - I'm leaving the house tomorrow at 7.10 am and won't be able to see the letter until after Brownies tomorrow night at 8pm. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

The pan-london admissions site is down, and I'm sure won't be back up by 7am.

Feckers.

I was going to get up early tomorrow to check on our result, looks like I should stay in bed as chances are, its not going to work anyway.

Wish I could just find out now and go to bed knowing.

How annoying for all of you that have been waiting and are still waiting.

How can the LEA fail to see that they are going to get lots of hits to their website on allocation day so many of my friends have spent the day wringing their hands and shouting at a screen and still don't know where their DC are going.

London system has crashed. This does not bode well

I am going to join you all. I am in London and am obsessively checking the website. I need distraction.

At long last got the email at 8.45 - ds got our second choice (actually the one he wants), we are very happy with that and won't bother to go on continuing interest for our original first choice.

Thinking of all of you yet to hear. Congrats to all who got their choice and those who didn't - been in that position before, it is shit but don't give up hope yet.

dont know if you will see this before the morning but if you can remember your login details go to the online registration page
www.admissionsonline.norfolk.gov.uk/Enrol550_Secure/default.aspx hopefully link will work.
login and it should be displaying your details and next to your choices which school has been offered from your choices.

site was saying after 4pm for results but was gone half past and still havent had an email either but at least you will be able to find out and hopefully get a decent nights sleep.

good luck

Found out why no contact - all the systems broke and no emails have been sent.

I phoned though and they were happy to tell me that DD had got into our first choice - girl's excellent grammar 1 mile from our house.

Stayed up until after midnight - no email, logged on this morning at 7 am - no email. Spent all morning checking my emails NOTHING!

Decided to go for a run...given up hope of finding out just where DS would be going in September....again logged on...OMG message in in box....Phew DS has been offered a place at first choice faith school. We are delighted...

well we were meant to get an email today from norfolk county council telling us what school ds had a place at and havent got one, not impressed.

have spoken to a couple of other mums in the same situation, we all applied online and were meant to get an email and havent done.

the county offices open at 8am and i WILL be on the phone at 8am demanding an explanation and to be told what school he has been allocated.

Am so pleased that DS got his choice. It has been such a highly competitive year this year for the West Kent grammars. Phew! I can now partake of wine with glee.

sorry thats elevenplusexams.co.uk

Cat64, there was a glitch on the Birmingham and Kent systems that allowed you to see the results a couple of days ago if youclicked printer firendly view. If you take a look on elevenplusforum.co.uk in the Birmingham sectionyou'll see what I mean

Another one suffering from Crashing Schools Admission Site syndrome.

tempr message posted this am 'available from afternoon' changed to 'early evening' and now 'late evening'. What time is evening exactly !!!!

Does anyone know how to find results for Somerset online? I have tried the CC website but no joy - can't wait for the letter which will have been posted 2nd class today!!

Still no e-mail here and council website has crashed.

we have just had the email

woo hoo

we have our second choice which my DD is thrilled about

DD1 has been offered the renamed Academy while just across the road her classmate has been offered the better school that was our first choice.
Very, very annoyed. She is NOT going there.

2boys can I drag you here rather than us hijacking the whole thread please? Ta

Well email finally arrived (5.30 as I suspected).

Got our second choice, could have been a lot worse, not sure whether to try for waiting list / appeal though, will have to sleep on it perhaps.....

Good luck Londoners and those waiting for the post tomorrow.
