Does anyone know if they release the email at midnight tonight or early tomorrow morning? I'm very excited/nervous!

I got my second choice school but still want my first choice school! I hear stories of going on waiting lists is it just a case of calling in the morning and asking to be put on a waiting list?

MrsJamin · 18/04/2017 02:04

Ragdoll, yes you can ask to be put on the waiting list for your first choice and you're entitled to know where your child is on the waiting list.

Good luck everyone! Wine [tea] I remember this time in my own life and wanted to let you all know that it will be ok. Whatever happens, you'll all be fine.

Ragdoll545 · 18/04/2017 02:29

Thanks Mrsjamin I don't mind the school we have been given but it wasn't first choice so I'm having a wobble! I can't imagine there's much other than waiting list I can do about it. And it was my second choice after all!

TupperwareTat · 18/04/2017 04:08

Im feeling very lucky that we have just got ours.

Good luck everyone.

WanderingTrolley1 · 18/04/2017 04:15

In Birmingham and expecting to hear today (Tuesday)!

DoItTooJulia · 18/04/2017 08:07

Birmingham too. Nothing yet, hoping it won't be too long though.

paddypants13 · 18/04/2017 08:14

We got our first choice! (Phew!) we're in North Yorks and got our email about 7 this morn.

Fingers crossed for those still waiting.

AVeryBigHouse · 18/04/2017 08:16

We got our email early (should've been 9:30) and my twins are in at our first choice!

Good luck to those waiting.

HatHen · 18/04/2017 08:20

We are waiting too, best of luck to everyone waiting

jo148jo · 18/04/2017 09:25

We got our email at 8am....my twins got our first choice school, we only picked 2 though and would have been happy with either but really happy they got our first choice. Good luck to those still waiting and fingers crossed you get the schools you really want.
Just a quick question though....what happens now? Never done this process before....do we get contacted by the school now about info, start dates, visiting day etc?

AVeryBigHouse · 18/04/2017 09:34

Yes, the school will contact you.

jo148jo · 18/04/2017 09:41

@AVeryBigHouse thankyou :)

DoItTooJulia · 18/04/2017 10:26

Had my email. Got first choice. So relieved.

Good luck to everyone still waiting Flowers

MrsBellefleur · 18/04/2017 10:40

I logged onto our portal early this morning and have been offered our first choice for dd. Very happy.

bostoncremecrazy · 18/04/2017 14:56

Waiting for 4pm here....

Sairelou · 18/04/2017 15:45

Is it only Kent waiting for 4pm? I'm really nervous Confused

AriB · 18/04/2017 15:52

I do not have anything yet... so nervous, just wondering if I made the application correctly as everyone seems to have received the email!

WhatABallsUp · 18/04/2017 16:05

Lewisham in London is this evening Sairelou. So scary...

Paddington68 · 18/04/2017 16:08

London boroughs are this evening.

bostoncremecrazy · 18/04/2017 16:28

we got our 1st (and only) choice.
It was that or homeschool....relieved!

Sairelou · 18/04/2017 16:30

No email yet Hmm gahhhh I'm getting impatient!

DavetheCat2001 · 18/04/2017 16:40

Lambeth for some reason is after 5pm, lord only knows why they can't let us know before then!

I'm waiting for a sibling place for my DD, so in theory it should be ok, but still feeling nervous and definitely not being complacent until I see it in black and white!

I can't remember whether they send an email or not..?

AriB · 18/04/2017 16:47

so it's almost 5pm! I am also impatient, I made a mess with my application, moved house last month and updated the address in the website and now it is showing both addresses... but I couldn't change the school order, so only God know what they have considered in my application...

DavetheCat2001 · 18/04/2017 16:55

I wonder if it's actually 'at 5pm' or sometime between 5pm and midnight? Hmm
