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?

Winniethepoor, if your school is an HMC school or a member of the Trinity group of schools in London, then they really should allow you to find out the state school answer first. Check with admissions. That said, if necessary it isn't unknown for people to hand a cheque in and then cancel it. But I would recommend that you phone instead!

Meery Last year I pointlessly checked my email at 5am when I got up to go to the loo! It turned up when I was in the shower later.

Many thanks to all of your prompt responses. I will ask the private school for a day's extensiion and see how.

We received an email on the 21st Feb saying:

Allocation emails will be despatched after 18:00 on 03 March 2014.

There will be no information available online prior to allocation emails being sent. Late evening on 3 March 2014, after allocation emails have been sent, the online system will be updated with allocation information.

My confirmation email (of my choices) says I will get an email on the 28th. I hope we do, as that's the date I've had in my mind!

That email, the leaflet we got and the website all say the 28th. They can't all be a mistake using last year's dates can they?

Must be a rebellious council!

The date we've been given is also march 1st but when I rang to confirm this,they said they will email on 28th!!!

Blackcathaireverywhere · 26/02/2014 19:04

I've just looked up our border council (I do know people who have applied for schools in both areas) and they say they will send letters on the 1st. On the ball round here then!

Blackcathaireverywhere · 26/02/2014 19:04

Oh good, we're not alone!

Do you get your offer from the council where you live regardless of where the school is?

ShredMeJillianIWantToBeNatalie · 26/02/2014 19:14

I think so Blackcathair. The process is still co-ordinated by your "home" county. So I will hear from Herts even though I've applied to one Bucks school too.

Blackcathaireverywhere · 26/02/2014 19:18

Hmmm, ok, so some of my son's friends might hear a few days after us!

ToffeeOwnsTheSausage · 26/02/2014 19:31

Dh thought we would find out on Saturday so had to tell DD it will be Monday.

In theory we should be fine.

99% in 11+
In catchment area (should that matter)
Low birth rate for girls in the school year
Head mistress said not over subscribed.

I am trying to say don't count your chickens but we only put the one school down and would definitely appeal if she gets a no.

Good luck to everyone.

Just one more child to go through the process..

Journeytolight · 26/02/2014 21:17

On our LAs website it says march 3rd so not 28th for us like it is for a couple of people. I thought that it is compulsory to give results on the same day. Am I wrong?

steppemum · 27/02/2014 00:34

Ok, so our no.1 choice is in neighboring county (grammar). On that county's website it is midnight on the 3rd.
But we applied through our county, and on their website it is almost impossible to find a date and buried in the standard admissions doc. it says 1st (but that is obviously the standard 1st March, not specific to this year)

So, if our neighbouring county has the info out from midnight, is there any way we can find out if he is on the school's list?

Bakingnovice · 27/02/2014 08:04

I'm in Yorkshire and we've been told it'll be march 1. Fingers crossed.

steppemum I don't know, but I was wondering if you have a password or login details for the admissions website for the neighbouring county? We did the Bucks 11+ so we had a registration password even though our admission will be handled by Herts.

steppemum · 27/02/2014 22:10

trouble is, admissions website etc is our county, we don't have log in details for neighbouring county, because we had to fill in forms in our county.

We had registration stuff for Glos, for the 11+, but don't think that will give us results
