Not sure what to think about this daunting process - apart from the fact that we are all relieved, above all of course DD :)
Very happy to have received 5 offers, from good local London schools and some further. Globally a bunch of warm welcoming schools, apart from a surprisingly very bad experience: Thames Christian College and its awkward cold welcome, terrible interview process and not-far-from-insulting owners of the school who made us feel unwelcome. They didn't ask us and our DD one single question. For a school proud of its Christian ethos, I must say that we were shocked by its un-Christian process...

Congratulations on your daughter's offers and I hope she is very happy wherever she ends up. I'm sorry you had a terrible experience at Thames - our experience there was the opposite, with a warm welcome, a few questions for DS on his own, then with us and an opportunity for us to chat with the head and deputy head for a few minutes at the end.
