Edinburgh schools offer day

Hi, I’m waiting to hear if my LG has a P1 place at Heriots or Watson’s and today is ‘the’ day.

I’m wondering if anyone in the same position has heard yet or if you know how/when the decision is communicated? I know it’s only P1 but it feels so stressful 😅

Sorry for being dense but what is an LG?

Where will you go if she gets offered both? 😁 (Just being nosey....mine went to GH many years ago now)

From memory of Heriots applications, they tell you exactly when they say they will! Good luck - if you don't get in, it is probably that it's not a good fit. Experience of both outcomes.

Based on the open day GWC but based on the interview process GH. At GWC my 4 year old was hurried off as soon as we got in and she did not enjoy 😢 At GH there was a 10 min play session first which completely relaxed her and she was totally herself going in to the interview. But tbh right now, while I’m waiting for emails and letters - either 😅😅

I really hope we hear soon - either way. It’s the not knowing that’s stressful 😬

Same situation as you! And save experience too. GWC seemed great on open day but assessment day was very hurried and didn't feel reassured. GH was a very good experience on the day! Waiting eagerly to hear!

I phoned admissions at 4pm and was told the emails would be sent out ‘early morning’ 🤞 🤞

Really interesting that you felt the same about the GWC assessment day too.

GWC post has arrived now (although no email!). Hopefully this thread helps people out next year with timings and methods of offers :) x

All good for you both, I hope? We are higher up the school years and got waiting listed 😂
