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???

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 01/03/2012 00:07

can any of them tell you about DD Viva?

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 01/03/2012 00:07

Sorry :(

VivaLeBeaver · 01/03/2012 00:07

not got first choice.

do i accept second choice offer while appealing?

piprabbit · 01/03/2012 00:08

Sorry Viva Sad.
Do you automatically get put on the 1st choice waiting list as well?

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 01/03/2012 00:09

I don't know - I've never had to do this, but it would seem like a logical step - but best to check with those who have played this game before! I'll keep my fingers crossed you get it on appeal.

ajandjjmum · 01/03/2012 00:09

Sorry Viva.

empirestateofmind · 01/03/2012 00:10

Good luck everyone. Viva hope you are ok.

VivaLeBeaver · 01/03/2012 00:10

i don't know about waiting lists.

I dont think we have any grounds to appeal. If the admission criteria has been applied correctly what do you do.

empirestateofmind · 01/03/2012 00:10

Cross posted. Sorry to hear that Viva.

Got our first choice :-)

VivaLeBeaver · 01/03/2012 00:17

Well in 10 years only 2 children have turned a place down at this school so I doubt we'll get in off a waiting list.

drivinmecrazy · 01/03/2012 00:18

Got 4th choice (not really a choice just filling in the gaps) Heres hoping for waiting lists x

Wow, the system worked here - didn't expect them to be posted until morning, so glad I read threads on here about results at midnight (got first choice).

yummumto3girls · 01/03/2012 01:06

System worked in Devon at 12.01, we got first choice grammar!

mummytime · 01/03/2012 09:58

Okay if anyone is still here. Accepting a lower choice is the thing to do, then go on waiting lists for all those you would prefer. Grounds for appeal at secondary are much wider than for infants. I know lots of people who have won their appeals, although the criteria have been applied correctly.
The gurus will be around soon I am sure, and search through old posts to get more idea of what is involved.

sandyballs · 01/03/2012 10:04

We hear after 5pm this evening.

passmyglassplease · 01/03/2012 11:23

Me to! I am waiting for 5pm.

I am assuming we are all waiting for Enfield to get the act together!

Gosh my nails are bitten to the skin!
