Waiting for Results on 1st March

[GORGEOUSPSYCHIC]

Thought it would be nice to start a support thread on here about the wait for our DC getting into secondary schools. Anyone else glad the tests are all over?

Lol willow

They should have sent out the emails - its just like Birmingham CC to c**k-up.

Good luck everyone xxxxx

We have to wait until 'after 5pm' -aahhhhhhhhhh!! I'm going to have to go out until school run time otherwise I'll be checking my emails all afternoon!!

Just here to hand out welsh cakes and Barabrith, it being St Davids day.
Keep calm .

LOL! Hi Deaddei Thanks for coming

poor us who still have to wait til after 5pm. even more poor those who still have to wait a day or teo for the post.

< any one?>

ooo, lovely, thank you deadei :)

Do you have any Baileys instead ohyoubadbadkitten? I don't like wine!

Just popped in to say I feel for you all - we were in same position this time last year.

Its horrible waiting, congratulations to those who have the school of their choice, commiserations and chocolate to those that don't and good luck to everyone still waiting.

I don't know if reading these messages is making me feel better or worse! We are waiting for results for Bournemouth School for Girls. Should recieve an email from 5pm onwards, must keep busy!!

I should get an email today with a link, so I can access my DD's school offer after 8pm!!
8pm? I'll go bloody mad before then.

I do actually - I have some rl hazelnut baileys.

8pm???? thats rubbish!

I have my dd's results! She has been offered a place at the first choice school! Yay!

That's great news DartsRus! Go celebrate!

Cupandsaucer, thanks I will when I get home from work!

Wow - lots of good news!

I'm in Surrey, tapping my toes with the Londoners til 5pm (I think it's the same admissions system).

Then it'll be on the phones to see which of his mates have got which schools.

I lay in bed last night fretting illogically that I'd filled the forms in wrong.

Minwedge - jeepers, the grammar system sounds horrendous! Here's me thinking you just pass an exam and away you go......

I've been combatting the feelings of helplessness by using this to calculate our home-to-school distances and then comparing them with the distance of the last place offerd last year. On this basis I am frantically hoping for expecting an offer from our second choice, or if not then from our 6th, which we put last as an insurance as it is extremely close. (They haven't built it yet so it's a bit hard to gauge what it will be like.)

I logged into the LEA website this morning - where I filled in the application online.
The answer was there is black and white
DS does NOT have to go to the failing Academy
he gets to go to the excellent comp.

Fantastic dartsrus. :)

Just read the last few pages...congratulations to all of you who got the places you wanted. And sorry to those of you who didn't.

Nerves are really kicking in now...feel like I'm on the verge of tears the whole time. Only 4 hours to go. It can't come soon enough.

Brilliant news, TalkinPeace2! Where are you?

yay TalkiinPeace :)

me too cupandsaucer. I'm supposed to be writing some newsletter articles and I just can't concentrate at all.

Will the pan-London e-admissions cope with everyone logging on at 5 pm? The mind boggles at how many children are covered by this system.

I'm Hampshire and the twin to the Academy is the school with the worst value added in the country!

No, Madsometimes, I don't imagine the system will cope!

Hampshire! tell me more...that's where I am! Where did you log in?

I'm off to look up Hantsweb
