Are the primary schools allocations soon? i'm excited to know which one we got...!

[Monkeyandanimal]

Yes, i have no life! And we are lucky in that all the schools near us seem pretty good, but I'm still itching to know if we got our first choice. nerdy.

I want dd in Ds's school but it's massively over subscribed and she can't get in as a sibling as Ds is in Yr6. Lots of siblings already to go in Reception.

I've been told the odds are really really poor of her getting a place with all her friends that she knows already through preschool and growing up with.

my 2nd choice is free school city centre whole city can apply 30places random allocation so names out hat so not hopeful there.

2nd can beer.

local fb people same lea as me reckon midnight last years applicants said 9am unless different this year,

Anyone know if can get offers of schools not list so something like

sorry cant allocate any of your 3 choices we can offer you school x as its under subscribed and nearest with places to your postcode?

Me too, had a couple of large glasses of wine and getting more nervous as the time approaches. I have no idea if we can check at midnight as no time has been given but we better be able to.

Honey why can't your DD get in the school as a sibling?? the school i want states that as long as sibling is still on the school roll (doesn't matter what year) they will get priority. although she is my only child, so no help to me!

it sibling at time attendance so if eldest is year 6 now by sept when reception sibling starts older sibling be year 7 and diffrent schoo

My eldest will be year 4 when dd2 due start but my lea operates local sibling policy and as we live out catchent it means anyone whos in catchment gets sibling and after that anyone lives nearer without sibling and only 20places. Hence why im nervous that and fact moved house is game changer too as old house option 3 too far away but 10mins now.

Also any school that had buldge years may have more siblings than places.

Last year was hyuge siblng year choice 3 had 55siblings out of 75spaces.

within our lea you only keep sibling link if remain within 2miles unless school has speciic catchment bundry in nearby lea you could move 10miles from school and still get sibling in.

oh i understand now. god, i better start planning DC2, not going through this again!! i want to know the next one is instantly getting in!!

It stayed on the website that siblings had to be enrolled during September 2014 to count as a sibling link.

Honey are you in northants? Sure I read once you were so being nosey now!

Yes I am

Siblings can help and most people siblings slightly more chilled but

the local school that has 60 places last 2 years going down to 30

of which kids in care, disability as designated disabled access school and mod nearby mod housing all get priority over siblings and next year has approx 40 siblings so half may not get it.

Combined with brad new schools start off at year r and add school every year over 7years until full.

Means cant move eldest and have youngest in different school.

Met one lady at toddlers who said my sister has 3 and does 3 schools asked how she did it she said shes late for 2 of the schools.

Many at eldests school rush between 2 schools.

Spoken to lots of families round here having to manage two schools, they are building yet more houses yet we have no schools for the occupants

Hence I'm not getting my hopes up as stupid high birth rate year too.

Me too catchment and sibling though ( grange park). Next closest school is a huge one that goes reception to 6th form. DD is far too small to go to school with 6th formers so praying we don't get that one!

Oh good to have a fellow Northants wibbler.

I had hoped their not so good offs read report would make people change but it came out to late and the sods appealed it successfully

How am I going to make it through until tomorrow evening? Am a nervous wreck already. Why couldn't London do midnight emails too. Aargh!

Can I just say having to go through Secondary as chill and Primary school placements in the same year is bloody frustrating!

I had 3 DCs in 5 years. I can get away with one wibble at a time!

Ours is outstanding. I'm hoping people are put off by it being an academy!

Yay, we got the place we wanted.

I'm over the moon. Got our first choice school!

First choice!

Will be keeping fx for everyone else too.

First choice :-) v happy

Congrats Cerulean stars.

Well as suspected none of 3choices expecting but seeing in black and white made me feel sadder.

They have offered me ok school.

was my 3rd choice with eldest

but we got 1st choice last time round.

then it went into special measures

now its on the up but still very much every ones default 3rd choice.

Its within my lea about 20min walk. should thank myself lucky they dident offer primary next to my new house which is on avoid list.

But they dont have my new updated address.

dont know how to add myself to waitlists or see how much missed by.

im trying reason with fact im now

doing 2schools

the school offered has nice grounds and know few people go there who are happy with it.

or do i chance it and approach nearby lea whos got vacancies there.

defer and home educate for term see what happens

or start her there in sept at school offered shes 5 in spet and desperate go school none of he preschool freinds will be going there.

just feel really sad hubbys gone to sleep guess least I know.

not sure what to do tommorow other than cry.

have be upbeat ad everyone will be asking and be far worse at school next week dot know how will break it to her i know i need be really positive.

theres 2 nearer schools wouldent mind but chances are they oversubscribed dident ut down as was too far away at date of application and dident know where were moving to,

3asabird I'm sorry I'll pop in to hold your hand lots tomorrow.

I've just got a message stating a problem with allocation and to click the link below, only there is no link.
