May I ask any you knowledgeable people, when a conditional sixth form college offer is withdrawn, how are the sixth form supposed to inform the student of this?
Is there some kind of official procedure that should be followed making it clear that the offer is withdrawn and why?
DS had a conditional offer and achieved 3 of the 4 requirements that the college asked for.
He phoned them on results day and told them his situation and asked if there was still a chance of keeping his place despite missing the 4th requirement, and what procedure he should follow next.
He was told to scan over his results and various other information to admissions straight away, which he did, and that admissions would be in touch.
Term has now started, yet all he's received from admissions since results day is a generic email, not even addressed to DS by name, saying 'if a space becomes available we will be in touch'.
This was received two days before term started.
Prior to this there has been months of communication back and forth between DS and the college, letters home emails etc, all addressed to DS personally, as it should be.
So is that it now?
No official letter, no chance to discuss the outcome of his GCSE results, nothing stating explicitly that his offer has been withdrawn or why, after months of waiting and prior communication?
Not even a simple email addressed personally to DS?
Is this just the way it goes?
I totally understand that the offer may have been withdrawn and why, I just don't understand why they haven't conveyed this properly to DS.
If that generic email was the official withdrawal of the place then I'm speechless.
DS has been in touch with them again today and they are going to look into it, so while we are waiting for a reply I thought I'd get the heads up from anybody here who may know if this is usual.
In other words, am I making a fuss about nothing?
