Primary School Offers - When did you get email?

266 replies

Anyone out there anxiously awaiting primary school offers? I'm more excited than anxious to be fair, but impatiently looking forward to finding out where DS will be going from Sept.

If you have been through this previous years, when did you get the email with the offer? Is it worth staying up till midnight?!

Absolutely!

I’m at work today and since 1pm I’ve been so distracted, I am happy with all three on our list but I’d just like to know now, I didn’t feel stressed this morning but as the hours have ticked on and I’ve seen more parents find out, I’ve not been able to concentrate!

To be honest I've been off the boil since my friend messaged me at half two. Knowing she knows has thrown me off my game. Been letting ds have a lot of screen time as I procrastinate on here and refresh!

My email came just before 9am!
I knew where she'd be going as we have a sibling link as well as her having attended the same nursery but still reassuring to know before I started work.
I'm really surprised that people have had to wait all day, must depend on the size of the LA?

A friend just got her offer! I feel like the rest of us may be any minute! The nerves are real but I don't really understand why but also haven't been able to concentrate at work! What a nightmare

Ours said to follow the link to accept or call the school to let them know we've accepted. I dropped in at reception and let them know as we were still on the playground when the email came.

I feel like Kent will press the button once they have all got their coats on to leave the office

Ladies, it has been an honour waiting with you...

Just12345 · 16/04/2024 16:10

It's after 4... still no email

Overthehill123 · 16/04/2024 16:15

Same, so frustrating waiting!

PippiLongShockinglyLongWait · 16/04/2024 16:16

They've pissed off down the pub!

Just12345 · 16/04/2024 16:28

Some friends have now got offers. Still nothing for me

Just12345 · 16/04/2024 16:39

So I haven't had an email but the portal has updated and shows we have been offered our first choice ! Nervous I haven't had an email but hopefully the portal is correct

PippiLongShockinglyLongWait · 16/04/2024 16:44

We just got out email and have our first choice which is surprising as we are rural and far away from most schools apart from the local shit hole. All my friends also got first choice so hopefully it bodes well for you all.

Kept waking up in the night and checking my email, but nothing coming.

It was only when I got up this morning I realised I'd been checking the wrong email address 🙄

We were in the fortunate position of not being too fussed which school we got, as we are in a town where all the primary schools are pretty decent (secondary schools, not so much..), but we are happy we have got our first choice.. a 5 minute walk from home will also help!

JanewaysBun · 16/04/2024 16:56

The 5 min countdown has begun.... i hope it's 5pm sharp!

phoebetinkerbelle · 16/04/2024 16:59

Oh my goddddd the tension!!!!!!!!

Emmacb82 · 16/04/2024 17:00

First choice here which should have been expected as have sibling link but I never trust the system till I see it in writing!

Did you just see the system update and not get an email! Same boat! I want the email

DutchieInLondon · 16/04/2024 17:03

Portal has been updated!! First choice never felt such a relief! Hope you all get your first choice as well.

JanewaysBun · 16/04/2024 17:06

Portal just updated for me, luckily 1st choice which eldest will move to) good luck to you all!

phoebetinkerbelle · 16/04/2024 17:07

Still no email but portal updated and we've accepted our first choice thankfully! So happy for DS! Feel like I want to cry with relief and shock and sadness that he's so big already!!!

BusyMummy2020 · 16/04/2024 17:08

Surrey offers are out! We got our first choice. Goodluck all xx

ChaosAndCuddles · 16/04/2024 17:12
