Primary School Offers - When did you get email?

266 replies

HolyCannoli · 15/04/2024 17:18

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?!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

@VivaVivaa you have my sympathy.

We got our 4th option. Not a bad school but miles away and no easy public transport.

Hmm just need to think. And maybe sleep!

Hope you managed some. I haven’t slept a wink for worry!

Anyone in Leicestershire county had their email/portal update? Shitting my pants a little Blush

Flubadubba · 16/04/2024 05:41

Still nothing here. Looks like W Sussex didn't update on schedule.

Choco23 · 16/04/2024 05:53

@Flubadubba I'm in west Sussex too and nothing on my portal either! Relief to hear it's not just me as worried something had gone wrong. I just want to know!

Just12345 · 16/04/2024 05:54

Waiting on tenterhooks here. We are Kent and they say offers not till after 4pm . Today's going to drag.

Noone on our local FB group has heard either. Annoying, as they said 0.30 onwards on their email!

woolflower · 16/04/2024 06:01

Anyone in West Sussex and I’ve not heard either

neverendingcold · 16/04/2024 06:02

Best of luck everyone. I am fortunate I got first choice.

chatenoire · 16/04/2024 06:04

Nothing for Cornwall yet!

Flubadubba · 16/04/2024 06:06

@woolflower both @Choco23 and I are. Looks like the portal didn't update when they said it would. Still not showing any results (local FB parents group also complaining)

Choco23 · 16/04/2024 06:07

@woolflower both me and @Flubadubba are west Sussex and neith of us have heard yet.
I agree it's frustrating that they say log in at 00:30am but nothing there. Got our hopes up! I wonder if there's a reason for the delay.
I'm going to refreshing like mad all day now..

Flubadubba · 16/04/2024 06:09

@Choco23 same! Better than waiting for a randomly timed email. Thank god I am WFH. I was refreshing until 2.30, and woke up again at 5.45...

LairyMaclary · 16/04/2024 06:37

Happy (and frustrated) to see that other West Sussex parents haven’t had theirs updated either - I worried I’d done the application wrong when I saw there was nothing on the portal.

Doodledoo · 16/04/2024 06:38

Derbyshire here and still no update - I’m so upset 😫 didn’t want to spend all day worrying over this but looks like we don’t have A choice!

Choco23 · 16/04/2024 06:39

@LairyMaclary me too! If it does update let's report back on here so others know too! I feel like I can't get on with my day 🙈

Same! Derby City have got theirs but Derbyshire seem to be taking their sweet time!

Omg I’m so glad it’s not just me! I can’t believe we haven’t heard anything yet, so bloody annoying! 😫

LairyMaclary · 16/04/2024 06:46

@Choco23 Looking at the website it makes no mention of updating the portal like in the email we received after applying. It just states that emails will be sent throughout the day. I didn’t want to spend my whole day refreshing my inbox but it looks like that’s what we’re stuck with.

Choco23 · 16/04/2024 06:51

@LairyMaclary mine doesn't even say that just has the option to edit child a blurb about free childcare after 2 years and then our details and 1st, 2nd, 3rd choices with LA received application stated.

Choco23 · 16/04/2024 06:53

Someone on our local FB page said 8am so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Yup like mine! It just says

LA has received the application

I'll see that sentence in my nightmares for years to come i am sure!

woolflower · 16/04/2024 06:56

In West Sussex and the status has just updated from ‘recieved’ to ‘being processed’

ilikeeggs · 16/04/2024 06:58

Nothing yet I’m Leicestershire. My eldest got her secondary school place last month and we didn’t get the email until 8:30.

Choco23 · 16/04/2024 07:01

@Doodledoo 😂 if you don't laugh you cry

Choco23 · 16/04/2024 07:01

@woolflower really? Whereabouts
