So many people have kindly sent pm and a couple of update threads have been started so I wanted to update.
Firstly I really want to thank you all for your help and kindness. I was in a state and without you all I would have lost the plot. You women rule 🏅
Update: They are not letting him do the test and I have told DS. I made the choice to tell him in a vague way and simply stated that something had gone wrong and his application had not been received. I will not lie to him if he asks for more details at a later date, but I couldn't take away his chosen school and his image of his dad in one cruel swoop.
He cried and asked me to sort it out, and I told him I had tried and couldn't. I told him my alternate plans and he relaxed. I also told him I would be coming home early 2x per week from here on, and we would work together on homework, extra study or whatever he chose. If he wants to register for the 12 or 13 plus I will do all I can to assist him. Then we watched guardians of the galaxy and had big cuddle up on the sofa.
So that's where we are.
I am sorry to those I irritated by deleting the thread, I was very worried about the daily mail and any come back. I hope you understand I was having a crisis and listed inappropriate details which could identify my son on the thread.
Please don't mention school details on this thread as I'd rather it all remain anonymous for his sake.
Thanks again for all the kindness, it meant the world to me.
AIBU?
Update - missed Grammar School application

Thanks everyone. Thanks so so much. I'm completely overwhelmed by happiness and all the kindness you're showing.
DH is delirious. He's been crying and a bit wobbly. When DS went to bed DH told me we are now officially middle class 
it's insane.
It feels like DS did this, this is his achievement, his reward and proof to everyone including himself that he's as deserving as the next child but it also feels like a HUGE prize for DH and I. I told DH it's our reward for being so well behaved when we were kids - karma! Hahaha I'm beside myself. Thanks for sharing the bad times and now this. Thank you all. 
I'm just so pleased for the 3 of you. It's a brilliant achievement and not just what DS has achieved, your parenting helped him get there too. 
What a lovely update! Thank you for letting us know. Huge congratulations to your son, and you, you were great
