Primary School Offers - When did you get email?

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?!

My email came through at 1:36am confirming a place.

Choco23 · 16/04/2024 07:06

@newandconfused5 where are you situated? Are you west Sussex?

LairyMaclary · 16/04/2024 07:11

Nothings changed on my portal, but I found this on the starting school section of their website. Fingers crossed for 8am!

@LairyMaclary when you submitted your application, it said that you could check along with being it on their portal from 0.30, along with the link.

Surgarblossom · 16/04/2024 07:14

Offered 1st option. Email came through at 3:14am. West Midlands. 😊

Hoplolly · 16/04/2024 07:14

Email came at midnight, first choice (95% of applicants got first choice)

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.

I thought exactly the same - I checked it at 2:30am when I randomly woke up and started worrying that I hadn't submitted it on time. I've had the worst night sleep! It's going to be a rubbish day at work today 😭

Second choice in North Hants. Slightly surprised but it's not the end of the world.

abbs1 · 16/04/2024 07:24

Got email at 20 past midnight with first choice. So happy and relieved.

LairyMaclary · 16/04/2024 07:24

@Flubadubba Yes I got the same in my email when I submitted my application. Their website seems to contradict that now though.

Devon I'm afraid

Flubadubba · 16/04/2024 07:30

@LairyMaclary weirdly the website and email never matched!

LairyMaclary · 16/04/2024 07:36

@Flubadubba I shouldn't be surprised by that, really.

Scooby2024 · 16/04/2024 07:37

Leeds portal showing results. Got 1st thank god for that! Just out of catchment but just makes life easier in that school.

@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..

Also in West Sussex and haven't heard. But when my eldest got hers (2019) the email was with me at 9:01am.

badfurday · 16/04/2024 07:51

Another West Sussex mum here not so patiently waiting!

Bournetilly · 16/04/2024 07:54

Got the email for Lancashire, we got 1st choice. So happy.

HolyCannoli · 16/04/2024 08:00

Just an FYI for those of you still waiting, this is what mine changed to last night when the portal got updated. The status changed to "Respond to offer" - hope you don't have to wait too long!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
