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

Swindon Area find out today. Applied online go an email at 8.20 this am.

For those of you awaiting emails - when we got ours 2 years ago, although they were sent at just gone midnight, we didn't receive them until mid afternoon. Probably their rubbish servers or something.

I think this thread is for those waiting on secondary schoolplaces NewLeaseOfLife.

Having a dim day. Just realised this is for secondry schools. i am on about primary....will toddle off and find them now. sorry. As you were.

Just checked local council web site and found this!? Am I reading this right? DOes this mean that I wont find out until May??? How come everyone else gets to find out now?

School Admissions - Question detail

Question: When do I find out what primary school I have been offered for my child?

Answer: Letters will be posted to parents by first class post on 26 April 2010.

11 hours ago, midnight is end or current day, start of next day

Ok please help me!

What's your interpretation of "one minute past midnight on the first of march"?

Is that 11ish hours ago or in 13 hours time? aaargh.

I think most authorities post their letters today so you're unlikely to get a letter until tomorrow.
Am checking my email and the council website every 5 minutes even though the form says they will let us know late afternoon. Seems highly unlikely that the council will somehow get more efficient and issue anything early but you never know....

Paperback, I cannot talk for everyone, (and have not yet got the answer) but in our case DD passed the 11 plus but because the grammar school she has applied to is a state one, they still work on a catchment basis on the top of test selection. Being out of the catchmnt, DD is not a priority, even with successfull test. Her getting in will depend on how many of those who have passed do live in the school's catchment.

Quick question.

Those of you who have said they didn't get into the grammar school, did your dc pass the eleven plus then not get a place?

Post just arrived, no letter yet.

not sure where you are enchilada, but I just managed to get back in to online stuff for my council (Doncaster) and its been re-enabled (wasn't active last week) and have found out my DS has got the place we wanted on line...

I used the URL from one of the confirmation of registration e-mails and it worked - I was surprised as I was sat waiting for an email, chewling my nails off...

'Tis Ok The login Link hasn't been posted yet !!! I guess im too impatient

I need help....Does anyine know how to log in on the Northamptonshire county council website to be able to view allocated place.

I have searched all over the schools admmisions section and cannot find anywhere to login to view my application.....We were told we could view from 10am but thought i would be able to login before hand. I am driving myself nuts here....Any help really appreciated

Congrats to all that already know and have got what they wanted I have to wait for the postie tomorrow and I don;t think online applications can be accessed until tomorrow morning here. Kent and Birmingham have been able to access their results for a few days, so much for National Offer Day

I was up at midnight too ! Couldnt sleep...

But although dd didnt make the grammar school we got our second choice which I actually preferred ..its a selective faith school... we are very relieved this morning as we really didnt have a plan b except for "appeal and pray " !!

Verity, September of Year 6 the forms come out and in most counties are required to be returned by mid October.

You apply in Y6, Verity.

i logged on to the lea website, and have just found out the ds1 got our 3rd choice, which was the one i expected him to get. the first choice was the local grammar which i already knew he hadnt got into, and the second choice was a very good school but much further away than the one we got. its a very good school any way so i am not worried at all

I have DD and DSD both year 6 and both have got first choice places. DSD has special needs so we picked a high school that would be able to offer both girls what they needed and have got them both in. It is a school that used to have a really bad name but over the last few years under a new head has improved fantastically and is now greatly over subscribed every year.

Anyone in Sefton, if you log into the councils on line application system you can view the status, but as yet no emails sent out (well not to us anyway)I am sure with my other child we got email first thing in morning. Must have changed over the years!! Good luck everyone who is still waiting.

I logged onto the secondary admissions system at 6am and the school allocation was available to view then.

The email has since arrived (8am)

It was good news for us. DS1 has got into the out of catchment faith school that we had put down as first choice

Ds1 is really happy.

Good luck to eveyone who's waiting. Hope you get good news soon
