SW London girls independent/grammars 2020 PART 2

[ColaPip]

I'm not sure Autumn is around during the day, so starting a new thread to maintain our lifeline

Oh, really well done @Sully113. Nothing for us yet, I guess we are further down the list...this wait is killing me!

Great news @Sully113! Hope you get some good news soon @abc79 - keeping my fingers crossed for you.

That's a hard choice. If LMS is close to where you live, I'd be tempted by that. A friend's daughters went there and they have both done really well, one going on to Oxford. They actually chose it even though they don't live so close. No axe to grind here as we are not WL for WHS. What did you decide in the end re FHSS?

Message of just now for @ColaPip

@Sully113 huge congratulations! See you in September!

@abc79 hang in there! I know of 3 girls declining their PHS place today/yesterday so I am sure it must be moving your way soon! Everything crossed.

Thank you all. @abc79 crossing everything for you!

Thank you @ColaPip and @Autumnnightsaredrawingin, I am so grateful for your support and virtual hand holding! Really testing me this wait...I really hope things will carry on moving for the next couple of days...I was checking last years thread and things kept on moving for a few days more...

And thank you @Sully113! X

@Autumnnightsaredrawingin what have you decided? Good luck!

Sorry, I see you have already confirmed. Great decision! How about @givemesomewineplease ? Good luck!

Things got a little complicated by an offer from Spgs. I'm keen but dh is totally, unflinchingly against, so no choice but to turn it down. Pretty gutted as think it could be amazing for dd but decision is made. Looks like it's G&L for dd!

Congrats @givemesomewineplease , your dd is a very bright person to get such a wonderful set of offers, both state and private.
It's been a joy to follow your journey and I'm sure she will thrive at G&L and enjoy being at a local school.

Once it's over it's difficult to explain to friends who live in other parts of the UK or have just applied to a local school re what a roller coaster the SW London 11plus journey is, it take over months of your family life with each stage bringing different "challenges"!

@givemesomewineplease congratulations on getting to a decision! Maybe see you at G&L in September

Many congratulations @givemesomewineplease !

Good Luck !

@givemesomewineplease - well done on making a very tough decision! Hopefully you can now relax and reflect on how wonderfully your DD has done.

@Frostyskies1223 - I couldn't agree more re friends and family. My parents think I'm totally nuts and just said "oh we knew she'd get offers, don't know why you were so worried". Err, helpful thanks!

@BlitheSpirit - I've just seen your message, thank you! We turned down FHSS on Monday, ultimately WHS ticked more boxes and felt more "right" for DD.

Still mulling over LMS V WHS, but 99% sure we'll stick with WHS.

Is anyone still deciding? If so, best of luck!

congrats to everyone who has made their decisions.

Is anyone still waiting? or deciding?

Sorry I have lost track.

I am still mulling over Tiffins vs LEH ! Have received great advice from forum members. Thanks a lot for that!

Just need to assess what would work best for DD and family.

DD loves LEH but is mature enough to understand that it is a huge commitment.

Congrats @givemesomewineplease, that is brilliant news! And well done @ColaPip, you are almost there! We are still on WL purgatory so a bit longer to wait for us...just trying to understand what deadlines are still to come? Consortium is today at 12pm, when is WHS and LEH...just trying to forecast knock on effects on WLs for schools. Thank you!

@abc79 the LEH deadline was yesterday

@mummyme2016 - that is certainly a tricky one. I don't really know either school, so can't add anything helpful. Good luck deciding!

@abc79 - WHS deadline was midday Tuesday. Not sure about LEH. Remind me which schools you're waiting for?

LEH was yesterday 12pm

Sorry just seen PhillipaFawcett has already mentioned that above

Thank you, we are waiting for PHS and FHS SS and hoping that there will be a bit more movement still this week...

@abc79 - keeping my fingers crossed for you!
