Primary admissions 2018

[Allosaurusroar]

Is there an anxiously awaiting primary school places thread yet?
One week to go and it’s all I can think about. We are on Easter holidays from pre school and it’s going so so slow waiting.
Does anyone know what time we find out?

Our email came through at 00.27. It is a huge relief we got our first choice which whilst it may not have the best ofsted of the three, it is the one that works best for us being smaller

@JZ1987 Warwickshire here too...website is down. Emails from 8:30am apparently.

2nd choice here, which was almost first and I'd been having doubts about the 1st so very happy!

Herja what catchment are you

Managed to log on at 12.20 after much refreshing, got first choice with sibling. Was very relieved, still didn’t sleep well!

Well I still haven't had an email but logged into the website at midnight and DD got into our first choice. It was very close on distance so am very relieved.

Probably a stupid a question but how do you accept a place?

Check with your LEA. In some places acceptance is automatic so you don't need to do anything.

@mommathatwearspink I'm Lancashire the email came at 06:59 am

I got the place I wanted! .logged onto the council to view.havent received e mail yet

First place, as expected with a sibling link but still a relief with bumper crop of kids locally.

Such relief here - same school as DD1! Email came through 1am, but I was asleep then having frantically refreshing the portal from 12. Think it finally updated at 12.10!

Can’t belive it’s possible to have no place 😱 that’s atrocious!

First choice here, catchment with sibling so pretty much a dead cert but glad to have it confirmed

I managed to log into the admissions site and saw we got first choice - great - but I don't know next steps... do I just wait for an email? How do I accept the place?

Let me know is anyone gets into WARWIRCKSHIRE COUNCIL’S SCHOOL PORTAL

Thanks hotchips. I'll try that

Bonjour you don't have to do anything the school contacts you I believe

First choice but again sibling and v close so not too surprising.
Wait to hear from the school now!

In London, haven't heard. Shitting myself with anxiety.

We’ve had the email now too @1Potato2 Good luck. 🍀

Queen I don’t think you’ll hear until 5pm. Hope it’s not a terrible day waiting.

@geekywombat

I'm always a ball of nerves anyway. Sweatily rocking in corners imagining the worst is my speciality.

I'm in Worcestershire and we had an e-mail first thing this morning. DD has got a place at her first choice middle school so we're happy!

My DD has an offer for our 3rd choice. 1st choice was catchment and is about 0.5 miles away from our house. I'm gutted, I can't quite believe how many other children there must have been that were catchment and sibling or catchment and closer. I'm hoping following rejections she will get a place. Does anyone have experience of that is it something that is likely or am I just getting my hopes up for nothing?

DrDre gosh I'm so happy we are in a primary/secondary area not first/middle/upper or infant/junior/secondary as I'd hate to have to go through this more than twice per child!

And I bet you have a much lower chance of getting a sibling place with a 3-level system too as even with a 3 year gap children would be moving on to juniors the same year their younger sibling is moving in to infants - my DCs are 2 1/2 years apart and are two school years apart but with different birthdays I'd have one entering infants at the same time as one entering juniors
