DS didn’t get any of secondary school choices :-(

My DS was unfortunately not offered any of school places we listed. As a result, they gave us the nearest school to our home with a place.

it was my worst nightmare to be offered this school- though, it is mainly based on the way in which we see the children behave after school. It also has a ‘Good’ ofsted rating which, for me is not great considering all the hard work my DS put in over year (sadly he didn’t meet the private school threshold after taking 11+)

is anyone else going through this? Any advice on next steps. He is position 28 for our first choice.

i also only applied for one school in Lambeth which is the borough we live in, simply because I am not keen on any of schools local to us- hence why we probably landed in this predicament in the first place!

Thank you so much.

High teens is promising…please do update on any progress.

I hope your son is enjoying ‘big’ school life at the allocated school in the meantime?

Yes he is enjoying it! How is your DS getting on?
