Anyone nervous for primary school admission results?

State primary admission results are.out this week. We have to wait for a letter, how retro, as we did a paper application for a deferred Reception start (DD is 5 in July, some minor additional needs). Really really hope we get a place at the friendly local school a 5 minute walk away! Anyone else waiting and want to chew their nails with me?

My email came through at 00.01! Hadn’t waited up though but I was up with the baby at 1.15 so logged on. First choice thankfully although second would have been ok too. Good luck to everyone still waiting

Found out Derbyshire email at 9.30am so not too bad but I'd rather know how Wink

@BingandFlop2019 looking at your picture they have waitlisted you for schools ranked 1 and 2.

If you do not want to stay on the waitlist you need to let your LA know to take you off.

I only state this as in some areas, should a higher ranked school free up a waitlist place, you may be automatically given it and you existing offer revoked.

Therefore if you’re very happy with the 3rd ranked school and want to keep it, be sure to remove yourself from any waitlists. Be sure that if you call to do this you also follow it up in writing to be safe.

Not every LA works this way. Some give you a limited time to decide if you want the waitlist place or not still. But if you’re in an area that automatically moves you it’s worth noting this.

We have to wait on emails at some point through the day. Sigh

Stravapalava · 16/04/2019 07:03

Email at 00.56. We got our first choice.

AppleKatie · 16/04/2019 07:34

Just logged on even though i know the emails coming this afternoon. Obv no news yet....

SchrodingersBrexit · 16/04/2019 07:42

Feeling a bit sorry for everyone in the school admissions phone team, I sense a busy day ahead for them!

Raisingbabylg · 16/04/2019 07:46

It's nice to hear lots of people seem to have their first choice. Still waiting to hear 😬

Muddlingalongalone · 16/04/2019 07:55

@applekatie me too! It seems that eadmissions hadn't suddenly had a technical fault & released the info early just when I'm waiting 🤣😂

RiddleyW · 16/04/2019 08:01

I’m incredibly tense. Have applied to our six nearest schools but it’s possible we won’t get into any of them.

We get an email this evening apparently. Not going to be very productive day for me at work!

SimonJT · 16/04/2019 08:03

I have to wait until 5pm, very tense

PetrichorRain · 16/04/2019 08:04

We didn't get our first choice - I've already put us on the waiting list but I'm not hopeful. Really fed up about it, as our first choice was really nice.

DumbleDork · 16/04/2019 08:07

I keep checking even though I know it’s not until 9.30. My belly is in knots and I feel sick Confused

Bugsymalonemumof2 · 16/04/2019 08:09

Me too dumble!

BikeRunSki · 16/04/2019 08:11

Email just in. First choice. Y6 move from first school to middle school. First choice is literally across the road, but hugely oversubscribed and DS is in a bulge year with lots of younger siblings! Second choice would be 5 miles on a bus by himself. So relived. Have spent the last 6 months convinced I’d done the application wrong.

MerlinsBeard87 · 16/04/2019 08:12

My email came through last night, we got our first choice so that's a relief

Stilltryingtocatchwind · 16/04/2019 08:14

Haven’t had email yet but I logged on and the offer is there. First choice phew, we are out of catchment but older sibling is there

Stilltryingtocatchwind · 16/04/2019 08:17

Meant to say that’s north Tyneside and we were told result wouldn’t come until after 8:30. I checked at 6am

troppibambini · 16/04/2019 08:30

We our first choiceSmile

RiddleyW · 16/04/2019 08:43

God I feel really sick - just want to know then I can start to plan. May end up homeschooling

purplepingu · 16/04/2019 09:05

I'm automatically on the waiting list for our number one school and apparently we're number one on the list for it which is good news

Especially as I know there are people who have been given our first choice school but want the one we've been given!

cheesenpickles · 16/04/2019 09:06

The Facebook groups have started popping up for new starters but none for our school yet. Is it bad I want to be in one but don't want to be the one that starts it? Grin

ChevalierTialys · 16/04/2019 09:15

still anxiously waiting to hear. I have the worst feeling he won't be offered a place anywhere, we are quite far from all of the ones in our area.

Bugsymalonemumof2 · 16/04/2019 09:16

45 minutes to go here

GooodMythicalMorning · 16/04/2019 09:17

First choice given here.
