What time do secondary school admission decision emails come out?

[starbrightstarlight8888]

Decision day is next Monday but I couldn't find out what time emails get sent. Does anyone know?

It varies. Some midnight, some after 5pm.

I got an email saying some time in the afternoon.

Depends on area - ours came out shortly after midnight, but the letters where you hadnt got first choice arrived before 1 March. It caused quite a lot of concern when some letters arrived and others didnt know.

London PAN is usually after 5pm

Thanks. Guess I'll just have to wait and see!

Can't speak for anywhere else, but if you're in London they send the emails out gradually from about 5pm onwards (deliberately after office hours so they don't start getting phonecalls until the next day). The emails are staggered so they don't clog the servers. However you don't need to wait for the email - just log into the account on the portal where you submitted your application after 5pm-ish. The result may be there (it was for us a few years back).

Thanks. I'm not London, I'm in East Anglia. I think I'll just have to randomly check throughout the day.

I’m in EA and still haven’t received an email....I checked on the citizen portal and his offer of the school place was there so I accepted it straight away. Wish I’d had known about that earlier:...rather than checking my inbox 46’000 times today
