oh my goodness, is no one else up waiting to press the button at 12:01? Feels like christmas eve, a mix of excitement and dread. Have we been good or bad this year???

Awaiting school allocation. here in Essex have no idea how well or poorly our DC did in exam way back in November. Just know by school allocation. scary times indeedy

I know - i heard we find out at 5pm tomorrow - i'm not sure when we get it by post though!

We can get results at 12:01, am thinking might have preferred a nights sleep cos I feel like I am about to give birth. Doesn't help that my DD1 said before she went to bed this is the first time she has ever felt nervous (despite sitting the bloody exam and numerous dance shows previously) Didn't think I was this nervous til every one went to bed and left me to it. Live in a small house, but by god it still has enough space to pace

I'm in Essex, think I'm going to have to wait up!!!. Just hoping website doesn't crash

I'm doing this for the third time (also in Essex) and have to tell you that the system crashes every year.

Hope to find out at midnight, DS wont go to sleep until he knows.

i really don't get all this fuss, though i support the local school and know ds will get in there

Any song recommendations while we wait? I love this one

I don't get how you can get your results just after midnight. Ours aren't online til 9.30am.

I'm here.

Imvhe though, 12.01 is anecdotal.

Chanced our arm by applying to DS's preferred school, but expect to get in to the perfectly acceptable local secondary. Have been trying to steer DS towards the local secondary, so he isn't too disappointed.

I live in Scotland so we don't have this sort of stress.

Love that one themildmanneredjanitor

I remember crying to this one when my DD1 started 'big school' at 4. Feels pretty relevant right now too. Still my baby

Agree CustardCake - I think I'm in the same area as you where are schools vary greatly!

just another one to fill a few minutes

Good luck everyone.

Errmm I am watching this thread. I don't know any of you, I don't even have a child waiting secondary school allocation (20th April, ds3 to reception)...oh and I live 100's of miles away from Essex!

But I have my fingers crossed for you all

Fingers crossed everyone :)

7 minutes and counting..... dont want my ds's bubble burst!

Ah, we live in Suffolk and ds is in year 6 but hasn't applied to Essex schools. Some of his friends have though, so we will be interested to see the results.

Can anyone view the website, or do you have to have a child who has applied in Essex to see them?

Is it only Essex that finds out tomorrow?

Im here, pressing and pressing.
