SW London girls independent/grammars thread 2020

[autumnnightsaredrawingin]

Last year, there were two amazing threads which were super helpful about exactly this, so I wanted to start a thread for girls due to start September 2020. If anyone from last year wants to contribute please do!

We have narrowed our choices down to 5, sadly not in the right postcode for Tiffin, and decided not to do the Sutton grammars.

So, she will be doing PHS, WHS, LEH, SHS and Woldingham. Also registered for Emanuel but we may pull that one.

Yay, delighted for you Autumn!! Congratulations to your DD. You must be so proud and a choice, how wonderful l!
Good luck to everyone else waiting.

Bravo @autumnnightsaredrawingin! Congratulations to your DD!

Does anyone know the stats for Surbiton? How many are sitting and how many are offered? Looking at schools for next year and in dd’s school seems so far that they’ve all got in if they applied. Is it a banker school?

Whoop whoop! Well done clever girlies (and high five to their long suffering mums!) xx

@Corblimbea, I don’t know the stats for Surbiton, although of course they claim it’s very competitive. Is your DD at a state or private school? As this could have a bearing on the offer rate within that group of girls.

Just got our post - a yes from Surbiton, with a partial bursary. Fab news - really pleased!

It's a yes for DD as well! So so pleased for her.
Congrats to your DD @autumnnightsaredrawingin, it's lovely she has an offer from her favourite school. And having the luxury of choice is wonderful 🙂.
Happy weekend everyone!

Huge congrats to everyone and their DD’s, lots of good news, lovely to hear. Our post is late today typically!

Finally came - offer with a scholarship!

So relieved. Was starting to panic that doing only 3 schools might have been a mistake. Very proud of DD.

Good luck to anyone else waiting x

Congratulations @Springboard @anappleadaykeeps @chevronrosie especially on the scholarship and bursary places! Great news!

We are so so happy to have this offer. It’s not our top choice or DD’s BUT if she only now gets this we are 100% happy. And feeling very lucky to have a choice at all given how many girls have had nos. I know of two girls who haven’t got places at Surbiton so it’s most definitely not a banker.

So many great news today - congratulations @anappleadaykeeps @chevronrosie and @springboard!

Congratulations everyone! So lovely to get such great news on a weekend! Well done!

We have a place too! Such a relief! Congratulations everybody!

Such amazing news everyone! And nicely done on the scholarship @chevronrosie. You'll all sleep more easily tonight.

Wonderful news, well done to all on the Surbiton offers!! We're away until tomorrow eve, so have a nail biting wait until then

Congratulations @PhilippaFawcett on your news too re Surbiton!

@ColaPip good luck for your post tomorrow night!

Is anyone going to the morning they offer for girls holding a place?

I think we will hold off booking the Surbiton open event until we hear from WHS - if she gets a place there we would take that over Surbiton

DD got a yes for Surbiton too! She's over the moon . So relieved and thankful to have an offer at this point.
Good luck to all those waiting for results or who have interviews this week!

Congratulations @ColaPip!

Fab news @ColaPip! Congratulations to your DD! Will you book on the Surbiton morning? @PhilippaFawcett when do you find out about WHS?

Great news @ColaPip ! Well done for being patient over the weekend. What I'd give to have an offer in the bag already!

@Autumnnightsaredrawingin they say they would post letters on 7 Feb, although I am hoping it will be earlier 🤞

Thank you all! Also waiting for WHS but will most likely go ahead and book Surbiton anyway. Have a good start to the week everyone and hoping there is good news to come for you all

Amazing news @ColaPip and well done to your dd! congrats on patiently waiting until tonight too! really well done ladies to have offers already, few more weeks wait for us! have a great week all

Whoop whoop @ColaPip, that’s fantastic!
