Starting to get my knickers in a twist for Wednesday!

I know she has passed but thats only half the story round our way - THEN they get their 'rulers out'

Anyone else staring at the letterbox?

I am, but I'm not too worried. DS1 applied to two grammar schools and the local comp; each possible outcome has something in its favour (except the nightmare scenario in which he doesn't get into any of his choices, but that's not terribly likely - I hope!)

unfortunately our local comp does not want anyone who does not put it first so its all or nothing for us! yikes

Gosh i did not realise they were all on the same day - makes sense i suppose. The whole town will be stressed out here then as getting into primaries has turned into a real lottery! Good luck!

The same goes for East Sussex. Rang the county council to check after the post brought nothing,
all results are being posted today.Fingers crossed!!

Nothing here in sunny Streatham either. I came back from the woods to find a lovely official-looking envelope on the doorstep, only to find it was junk mail for the previous occupant.

Well done Sacha - fingers crossed for the rest of you!

Congratulations to Milliboy and Sacha! We haven't had a formal LEA letter yet, just the informal one from a few weeks ago. Milliways, did your letter come from the LEA? Nobody here seems to have had their LEA letters yet, and I really want to have it all in writing!

We had 2, 1 from LEA & 1 from the school, arrived together in todays post (after I had gone to work!). The teachers at school also had a full list of where each pupil was going.

1 school in our area phoned everyone today!

Congratulations to Sacha!
