Offers Day 1st March 2012

Anyone else feeling like we do about the impending Offers Day?

Not at all a foregone conclusion that DS will get into any of first five choices (all selective, two 11+ passes, one 11+ result due this coming week) so rather up in the air.... Sixth choice is okayish but DS has talked it down to the point that he is now desperately hoping it's not his one and only choice! Otherwise DS is being quite mature about considering that he could end up at any of the schools and is already thinking about which friends from primary school he is likely to stay in touch with etc.....

It all feels a bit as if life is on hold till 1st March.....

I can just imagine the scene in the LEA,s at 5pm - drawn straws to see who is last out of the office- last one out presses the 'enter' button on the computer and runs for the door !

BoobyBrown · 01/03/2012 16:45

Grin Avantia, bet that's spot on.

Yay we got our 2nd preference - all happy here.

It says under offer "school name 2nd" How you meant to accept???

gazzalw · 01/03/2012 17:01

Well there's nothing here yet and we're waiting with extreme nerves - DS is being very tetchy with DD and there's been tantrums and tiaras since they got home from school - GREAT!
