I'm shaking...

ShelaghTurner · 18/04/2016 16:47

Even poor little dd2 keeps saying "do you know what school I'm going to yet mummy?" Please God let it be good news and soon!

Highflyingmamma1980 · 18/04/2016 16:49

My little man said "i ll just stay at my pre school if i don't get offered a school". He must habe been listening to me talk about it!

I was waiting last year. The email didn't actually come until about 10 pm. I logged on the website to find out at about 5 pm.

ShelaghTurner · 18/04/2016 16:53

7 minutes...

ShelaghTurner · 18/04/2016 16:54

My email for dd1 came at 6.45 but I must have logged on earlier because I had an email confirming my acceptance of the place at about 4.45. This was four years ago though and no use to me now!

Waiting and nervous too. Also waiting for dentist appointment right now so double anxiety

Andcake · 18/04/2016 16:59

Luckily ds is at home with dp (sahd) and he purposely said they would be out and about to take his mind off it . I however am at my desk staring at a screen

How do you view the outcome from the eadmissions website (can't see a button for it...)

Andcake · 18/04/2016 17:02

Happy got 2 nd choice - good luck everyone

ShelaghTurner · 18/04/2016 17:03

First choice. So relieved! Good luck everyone!

FoxSticks · 18/04/2016 17:04

I thought 17.00 would be the magic time. Come on Surrey cc!!

toots111 · 18/04/2016 17:05

It's on the site. We got the faith school. Not ideal but at least it's walking distance and we'll hopefully get a higher priority school through waiting list movement before school starts.

Andcake · 18/04/2016 17:06

Found it very on website no app or email - now can't get through to dp to tell him

BrightandEarly · 18/04/2016 17:07

First choice, hurray.

Good luck everyone Thanks

AnnieLewis · 18/04/2016 17:08

Highflyingmamma1980 · 18/04/2016 17:12

Got our first and only choice with sibling policy - very relieved!

FoxSticks · 18/04/2016 17:42

First choice here - but no email or app - there must be loads out there who don't even know the results are in.

chocomochi · 18/04/2016 17:50

Some friends have got into first choice but haven't heard anything yet. Hoping for a sibling place but still worried!

Greenleave · 18/04/2016 17:54

Good luck everyone!

Can I pls ask a question, does the child get priority if his/her sibling is still in the school and was offer within catchment area and the family hasnt moved since?

RandomMess · 18/04/2016 17:55

Eek just best wishes for everyone waiting down there!

I know there is such a shortage of places full stop let along getting into what is considered a "good" school...

RandomMess · 18/04/2016 17:56

Greenleave - depends on the admissions criteria of the school...

most work on distance as crow flies and there isn't a "catchment area"

Greenleave · 18/04/2016 17:58

I thought all schools have the same admission criteria that special needs, faiths then siblings. Oh dear then many families who have elder child got into the school by right then the younger one wont guarantee a place???

thatsn0tmyname · 18/04/2016 18:00

eadmissions website is quicker than email. We got our first choice Smile
