This is my first post and I'd like to kick start he waiting thread.
DD hoping to get 1st choice grammar but has completely forgot about it all.
How's the anxiety/nervousness/ overall wait?

I'd rather not say, is over 90% getting first choice high ?

DH did it on line and has just said he will get the email at 4pm.

I can not see how they can say no to DD but if they do we will be appealing big time. If it is on scores I can't see that they would have had a full intake who got higher than DD.

Good luck to all the MNDCs waiting.

I don't know purple but it sounds pretty good, hope you are in my area Wink.

Rabbitcar · 02/03/2014 21:23

Good luck all. Dancergirl, I think you are waiting for the same result as me, so best of luck! I start a new job tomorrow and it is DD2's instrument exam, plus my parents' wedding anniversary, so hopefully there will be enough other stuff to distract me! x

Thiscarisreversing · 02/03/2014 22:42

Good luck for tomorrow!! Desperate to get into our local city school, it's got a pool!

MmeMorrible · 02/03/2014 22:48

I'm waiting to log into the secondary allocations website at 00:00 and I don't think time has ever moved so slowly!

Is anyone else waiting up tonight?

steppemum · 02/03/2014 22:50

Mme - I was going to, but I realised that I have no idea what time they send the email out, so I won't be
good luck!

thatgirloverthere · 02/03/2014 22:55

MmeMorrible - I'm waiting up too! I've already logged on to our Online Admissions page and it says:

Notification of your school place offer:-

On 03/03/2014 00:00:00, your school place offer will be communicated to you by email.

This will be the longest hour of my life, we have applied to a church school, which requires a sif, although the school didn't confirm receipt of sif forms, so I'm panicking that they didn't receive the form I sent in. Realistically if the sif was received, ds should have a very good chance of a place, I read the school newsletter and they confirmed that the school was over subscribed and would be holding a waiting list for Sept 2014.

Good Luck everyone!

goldie81 · 02/03/2014 22:56

Good luck guys! We have to wait till 6pm tomorrow!!! Think I'm going to go mad!!!

MmeMorrible · 02/03/2014 23:12

50 minutes to go! I logged into our online allocation system yesterday and it said our allocation would be shown from 00:00. DH reckons the system will crash from all the parents trying to log in at the same time.

DD wants me to wake her up to tell her the news. Think this is possibly a bit barking.

Good luck all.

thatgirloverthere · 02/03/2014 23:23

My son also asked me to wake him up - I said I'd leave a note in his bedroom, am sure I'd never get him back to sleep otherwise.

We had to list 6 schools on our application, we live in a small town with no senior school, so children are bussed out all over the place, nearest school is 7 miles away but isn't one of our catchment school's.

Almost time...

thatgirloverthere · 02/03/2014 23:49

Just logged on to see allocations have been published - we got our first choice. Ds will be delighted.

Good Luck to everyone else.

circular · 02/03/2014 23:50

Just got ours too online - first choice. DD2 will be chuffed, was trying to stay awake but crashed out on the sofa 10 mins ago.

MmeMorrible · 03/03/2014 00:01

DD got her first choice too! Completely amazed as was a long shot but thrilled to bits.

We have woken her up & told her, she's very happy and now going back to sleep.

Good luck to everyone else who hears tomorrow!

Dancergirl · 03/03/2014 00:06

Congrats everyone!

How do you access results? I am in a London borough

Dwerf · 03/03/2014 00:08

I did mine via the paper form so I'm waiting for a letter. Now I am regretting that choice a teeny bit...

Dancergirl · 03/03/2014 00:10

Bother, just logged in, nothing there, results will be tomorrow.

My heart is pounding!

Zingy123 · 03/03/2014 00:12

Gutted Dd got 3rd choice. It's just failed it's ofsted. Will appeal for 1 and 2 I think.

steppemum · 03/03/2014 00:15

we got first choice,
I am delighted, wasn't even going to wake up, but I seem to still be here Grin

So sorry for you Zingy. Sad

Tartanpaint · 03/03/2014 00:34

First choice here too. So pleased!!! Hope everyone else get the results they want.

littlepurplealien · 03/03/2014 01:07

We too were relieved to find we've got our first choice.

Sorry to hear your news Zingy, action plan to get on waiting lists and start planning appeal ?

DraggingDownDownDown · 03/03/2014 04:26

Got first choice too.

Dancergirl · 03/03/2014 07:01

Arrgghh, still no results!

Just tried to log in, looks like it will be 5pm as they said.

So frustrating, why does it vary so much??

zingy don't panic just yet, there is a lot of waiting list movement, you may get a place without having to appeal.

ShredMeJillianIWantToBeNatalie · 03/03/2014 07:06

Sorry zingy…hang in there.

Still waiting for that email, looks like it really will be after 6pm.
