I've read through lots of chat re 2019 but can't see a 2020 10/11+ 2020 thread. How are your DS's getting on?

Quiet here too. I need to step out at some point for about a hour and I keep putting it off Hmm

Postie just arrived!
DS has a T10+ offer with scholarship. He's going to be over the moon.

Adaryn · 14/02/2020 12:38

Sorry to anyone who's not had the news they were hoping for.

DS has offers for 10+ T and W. So pleased. Can't wait to tell him now.

chalkyc2 · 14/02/2020 12:42

T waitlist for us. Along with 2 other offers 1 with sports scholarship. T was DS first choice though - so sad and happy!

likethoughtsinsideadream · 14/02/2020 13:19

T11+ waitlist for us too. Offer from the other school DS interviewed at - T is his top choice though - so competitive this year.

pinkpeony4 · 14/02/2020 13:20

We got offers from T and W. We’ll be releasing the W offer so he can join his brother at Trinity.
Good luck to anyone else waiting for news

PopgoestheWeaz · 14/02/2020 13:22

We've lots of good news for DS. Didn't get scholarship offer at either of our top choices, but did for W which he really liked as well, so have some tough decisions to make. (I'm not taking for granted though what a fortunate place to be in that is.)

Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting to hear x

LuluBellLondon · 14/02/2020 13:23

T10+ offer here

nogoingbacktothefuture · 14/02/2020 13:24

10+ T offer here with scholarship

EccaMoldcan · 14/02/2020 13:26

Very happy to get W scholarship offer (10+) but nothing in the post from T - although they called us yesterday to say they hoped we'd be pleased with the offer!! We just don't know what it is! Asked the postman to check but it just wasn't there...wonder if we should phone them, given that it's half term at the end of today...

Seeline · 14/02/2020 13:31

Ecca I would definitely phone - explain the postie has been but no letter arrived.

Popgoestheweaz · 14/02/2020 13:33

Yes, I'd phone too. I'm sure they are braced for a handful of these calls x

Mummy195 · 14/02/2020 13:38

10+ W and T offer here.
Good luck to everyone.

PiedImperial · 14/02/2020 14:17

The admissions teams work all through the half term, so if you can't manage to contact them today then you can call next week.

jasmine372 · 14/02/2020 14:28

Phew ! 10 plus at T offer Smile can relax a bit now ....

EccaMoldcan · 14/02/2020 15:04

Thanks all, I called and they were able to tell me over the phone... Good news! Hope that the boys all have an offer they are happy with. They have worked so hard and they're still only little, really! We were on the receiving end of bad news with DS1 3 years ago, but it's all worked out for the best.

UntamedShrew · 14/02/2020 15:59

Good news for us from W, and we are delighted. Hope you all get the news you and your sons want too! What an exciting next chapter in their lives, they are lucky boys. I’m quite emotional!

JustJuice187 · 14/02/2020 16:38

DS2 has an offer for 10+ from T in addition to another school so we are very pleased - have some tough decisions to make now...😬

Anno7 · 14/02/2020 16:39

So much luck all and thank you for the support of this group!!

W10+ With sports scholarship for us so super happy- what a journey!!

Applefish · 14/02/2020 17:04

10+ places for us too from both T and W. Commiserations to those who are disappointed with their offer, it's definitely been an emotional journey! DS school have been really supportive, congratulating us with our offer but also sad to lose DS a year early. Can't believe life is all about to change in a couple of months!

turboturtle · 14/02/2020 21:39

Well done to all have received their offers.
To those on waiting lists, there will be a lot of movement over the next couple of weeks, so don't despair.
Many DS have multiple offers but they can only attend one school.
Sorry to those who did not get the news they were expecting.
It's a shame that we have to go through this process and stress.
Remember that no matter where our DC end up, they will always need our love, our support and plenty of encouragement to get them through.

vejo · 15/02/2020 09:13

T10+ with scholarship received, with bursary to cover balance. Well chuffed to be in this position. Son is positively elated.

What a journey this has been.

Brrrr10 · 15/02/2020 09:27

10+ T offer and a very happy DS. Thanks for the support everyone. And really sorry if it wasn't the news you wanted. Wishing everyones DS's all the best x

Rakushka04 · 15/02/2020 10:57

Our postman doesn't exist: post comes once a week so we didn't get any letters yesterday neither today. Appalling service.

SoupDragon · 15/02/2020 11:43

@Rakushka04 you can phone the school and explain. Someone has done just that on this thread to find it the result.
