In previous years I have started these threads to help and support all those involved in the independent school admissions process.

I wasn't going to start one this year as I know I would not be able to check back on it as regularly as I would like, which then defeats the purpose of the thread.

However, after numerous positive PM's about the threads I think it would be a shame not to start one where at least the hand holding can continue. Flowers

There are many many people who have been through the process and 'live to tell the tale' . There are also other tutors I know who read this thread and it would be great if you all could help and support and share your ideas👏🏼

(Roll on 2018!) 😉

So tomorrow is the choice between habs and NLCS- for us it would be habs but of course it would be good To hear views. Anyone got a child in either and have any views either way?

Habsmummy · 28/01/2018 10:45

Our first daughter is older so didn't do the junior school but is senior school habs

@habsmummy I thought we find out Tuesday , not tomorrow? X

NoTimeToDillyDally · 28/01/2018 14:43

Letters will be sent out tomorrow, meaning that they should arrive by Tuesday. To make it fair (with varying postage delivery ‘speeds’), I think that emails will be received on Tuesday morning to ensure that all hear, one way or another, on Tuesday.

Habsmummy · 28/01/2018 14:58

It is tomorrow for habs, tomorrow last post

schoolmadness2016 · 28/01/2018 18:38

We only get one post per day :( All the schools said results posted Monday - did I miss something ? Did nlcs and habs indicate email ?

Momof3toB · 28/01/2018 19:29

I'm nervous just reading these messages

Rumpleteezer · 28/01/2018 20:26

Good luck everyone!

Fitnessfanatic108 · 28/01/2018 22:12

@schoolmadness2016 nlcs will email on Tuesday - you will also receive post on Tuesday.

Habs website say they post on Monday- I’m not sure if they email or not -

@habsmummy how do we find out from habs on Monday if they only post on Monday ?

ImNotChangingMyUsernameAgain · 28/01/2018 22:41

Jabs is post only. Thick envelope = good news.

Habsmummy · 28/01/2018 22:45

@firnessfanatic108 I think I must be wrong. They said Monday to my friend but then also said 30th which I have just realised is Tuesday so they must have just said wrong day. Oh gosh another day to wait!

mumsy111 · 29/01/2018 06:25

Omg I can't wait until this is over! The waiting is the hardest part. Good luck to all x

MumDad999 · 29/01/2018 09:39

I’m so glad I read this thread… I woke up with butterflies in my stomach, so one more day to go.Good luck everyone, all the girls have done fantastic to get this far.

user1457993939 · 29/01/2018 10:17

Anyone else paranoid? Awaiting 3 schools post tomorrow, too much to handle 😢

pigshavecurlytails · 29/01/2018 11:38

good luck everyone. here's hoping for nice clunky post with big envelopes....

moosesue · 29/01/2018 13:14

Good luck everyone. Anyone know if your current school gets told today? I'm not sure if I'm misremembering something from an old thread?

pigshavecurlytails · 29/01/2018 13:54

Yes schools will know today

Sunlight01 · 29/01/2018 13:59

Somehow I wasn't receiving any alters when new messages posted on this thread hence responding late. @OnceUponATime10, we did 7+ at NlCS and when I asked review about round 1 she only founds 2 to 3 questions from sample paper. There where no clock's. Also we had done lots of questions from past exams. But nothing was similar to what was asked in NLCS. Was your DD called for round 2? There were 100 odd application and only 30 girls were called. Hope to see you in sep 2018. Desperately waiting for 'YES'. All the best for all you waiting.

Mamabear1719 · 29/01/2018 14:20

@moosesue and @pigshavecurlytails
what do you mean by schools are notified today? sorry sounds silly but not aware of what happens? thanks

NoTimeToDillyDally · 29/01/2018 14:24

Fingers crossed, everyone!

Fitnessfanatic108 · 29/01/2018 14:42

@moosesue well remembered ! nlcs wil notify current school today but habs won’t x

Fitnessfanatic108 · 29/01/2018 14:43

@mamabear some schools tell the nurseries the day before

moosesue · 29/01/2018 14:46

Thanks all. I guess it's time to cosy up to the office staff at pick up 😁

Mamabear1719 · 29/01/2018 14:55

ok thank you. Didn't realise that occurs.
