4 days to go until offer day! What are the chances of letters being received tomorrow?

[SugarSnapPeas77]

Probably zero

My theory is if the letters need to arrive on Monday , they will be posted today , with potential of arriving tomorrow

We are awaiting places for our DD2 and an in year place for DD1 (we are new to the area).

Is anyone else excited ?

I found out via email that my son didn't get into his first choice, we got the second.

We knew he probably wouldn't get into the first one, it's further away, but he goes to the nursery attached along with his younger brother. Instead he got in at the school less than 200 yards away, which I don't like. I'm aware how petty that sounds.

Now we need to come up with a plan for him going to school and a new nursery for our 2 year old.

Sorry to hear that

When did you get your email?

I thought they sent the letters out on the date? I didn't receive a letter until 2 days after the offer day with dc1 about 4 years ago. I'll be checking online like a mad woman though on Monday!

online checking for me on monday!

We don't get a letter at all here. It's all done online and by email.

Email at 7am. I applied online if that helps?

The date for finding out was today so everyone around here will know soon

There's another thread about all this but:
The official offer day is 16th April (a Saturday). Some areas are doing it by email on that day. Some have chosen to shift it to the 18th. A few are shifting it to the 15th (today).

If you are hearing electronically (online or via email) then it should be sent out on your area's offer day, but not necessarily all together, and you won't necessarily be able to log in at midnight to find out.

If you are hearing by post (because your area only does post, or because you applied late) they seem to be posting ON the offer day i.e. if your offer day is the 18th your letter will go in the post that day (probably by Extra Slow Second Class).

5pm only!!??
Oh nooooo the suspense!

(can you tell it's my PFB going to school?)

I found out this morning. Gutted is an understatement. My dc2 was refused a place at dc1's school last year and now dc3 has been refused a place at dc2's school.

for those receiving disappointing news . I hope you manage to work it out .

I'm sorry to hear that Zoe that is rough news

That's ridiculous Zoe! How can that happen. Is DC3 at least at DC1 school??

We didn't get any of our choices

We were allocated the local school which is in special measures

Gutted .

SugarSnap and Zoe I have started a thread for those who are going on waiting lists and appealing - it's here. Mainly me but also some helpful people helping me, so far!

I'm so sorry Sugarsnap and ZoeQ. I hope you both get the schools you want eventually.
I'm a north Londoner so will be finding out after 5 on Monday. Eek!

We don't find out until Monday. 1st choice is a pipe dream, we went shopping today and looked at the uniform for the last choice. Call me pessimistic! Good luck everyone.

Sugar snap don't be gutted that the school is in special measures because it will be being monitored closely and having money spent on stuff and very soon a difference should be noticed. It's a horrible situation for the staff, ( been there, done that) but it will be good for the school, and the children in terms of putting right whatever was wrong. And, hopefully, it will be a good school very soon.
Give it a chance?

hooray! first choice!

then again i chose as first choice the 2 form entry school with the bigger catchment as i liked it better on visiting than the single form one with the teeny catchment because of 20 siblings sometimes...

dont' get me started on people who move out of the area and then get in for sibling link... grrr
