Anyone else nervously awaiting primary school offer day

Is anyone else nervously awaiting primary school offer day? My nearest school we are not in catchment for. Unfortunately, the catchment boundary is my back and side fence due to a wiggly catchment boundary.

The school we are in catchment for is 5 mins further walk away but doesn’t have a great reputation. I feel like my life is on hold until 19th April as I hope my DD gets into my preferred school. I’ve applied for DS to go to the nursery next to the school I would like to go to as I don’t want to be doing two different pick ups and drop offs in completely different locations each day!

Furrbabymama87 · 19/04/2022 00:14

My DS got the school I wanted. No surprise really as he's got 2 siblings in the school but I've been panicking thinking the worst as I often do. Thank god.

HannahA92 · 19/04/2022 00:17

Nothing yet, I’ll probably be up all night refreshing the portal 😂 anyone in KCC got theirs yet?! I’m so stressed!!!

Congrats to everyone who got what they wanted!

SaticoyStreet · 19/04/2022 00:17

To everyone who’s had their response.. does it come through via a message on the online portal? Assuming the all work the same way? I’m just finding the portal very confusing! Thanks

AreWeNearlyHairnet · 19/04/2022 00:17

First choice for us too!! Congratulations everyone.

immy7853 · 19/04/2022 00:20

We got first choice here!

Oysterbabe · 19/04/2022 00:21

We got our first choice Smile

Chunks1376 · 19/04/2022 00:25

Yep - manic refreshing here too! No news yet, we’re in Shropshire

pooeylouie · 19/04/2022 00:38

First choice here too! 🎉🎉 we're in Warwickshire updated just after 12.30am.

BobbinHood · 19/04/2022 00:39

The page updated dead on midnight for me so I could click “view offer”, but then says offer information not yet published. Bloody Newcastle.

Donttalktomeaboutsleep · 19/04/2022 00:41

Is anyone unable to open their login page?

APurpleSquirrel · 19/04/2022 00:43

We got our first choice too! Woohoo!

On the portal it should say View Offers - click on that & it'll say which school has been offered.

Rolana · 19/04/2022 01:01

I can't remember my password to access the portal- tried resetting and the email isn't coming through. So frustrated with myself.

I'm desperate to know what school we are in. I can't sleep.

Witchesbelazy · 19/04/2022 01:04

I cant even get into the portal it wont work I have been trying all day really annoyed tbh

Stopdropnroll · 19/04/2022 01:09

Got ours tooGrin

CrapColdCoffee · 19/04/2022 01:33

Nothing yet and my county's website is very confusing. It still says 'apply for place' even though we did in January and got confirmation emails!
I'm slightly freaking out we did something wrong with our application now.

Ours said this - click the link then it gives you the option to view your application and as of today z view the offer.

First choice here, so pleased.

CrapColdCoffee · 19/04/2022 01:48

@NearlyHeadlessNick yes that worked, got our first choice! Thank you! My husband was just telling me to wait for the email, now he's snoring next to me, completely unbothered. How can he?! Plonker Grin
