Hi everyone!
I thought I'd start a thread for parents going through the 4+ / Reception admissions process for September 2027 at independent schools across London as I haven't seen any thread yet.
My daughter is nearly 4 and we're applying to a few competitive schools including NLCS, SHHS and Habs Girls.
I'm particularly interested in keeping track of the admissions timelines and sharing updates as we go through the process.
It would be really helpful to hear from parents about:
- Has anyone received an invite for Round 2 yet?
- Schools they've applied to.
- When do waiting lists typically start moving?
- Are schools making offers to children on waiting lists, and how quickly are places being released?
- Have any schools indicated how many children are being invited back for second-round assessments?
- Any updates on offer deadlines or acceptance deadlines?
I'm hoping this can be a useful thread for parents to share anonymous updates throughout the admissions season, particularly as offers and waiting lists start moving in January and beyond.
Good luck to everyone going through the process! 😊
