Wait till the day 11th Feb: excruciating for me. How are you lovely parents planning to cope?

Few times I was anxious for 14th February. Never thought I will wait this intensely for 11th February :-)) Work, wine and then??? What else???

I had a conversation with a fellow mum yesterday. We were wondering if all results go out at the same time, offers/no offer/waitlist.
Also, do you think that the heads at the primary schools are getting the results today?

Oh, never thought about heads getting results from independent schools. Making me feel even more nervous now.

I’m pretty sure the heads of independent prep schools are told in advance (and not just one day before), especially where there are any kind of relationships already between the schools, or where typically quite a few boys move from the prep to the relevant senior school.

But I suspect the heads are sworn to secrecy and I have never heard of anyone being told results by their prep school in advance of receiving the official communication.

@11Plus2022 That's what I thought. They know but wouldn't say. They might give you a big smile in the morning though Grin.

My mood is swinging like wild yoyo. Not sure whether we will be laughing or crying this time tomorrow :-( Best of luck to everyone!!

I just got this email from Dulwich college:
“A letter posted today and an email sent tomorrow.”

We’ll have to wait one more day

I am drinking and celebrating this evening. Whatever happens tomorrow I am so proud of my DS for his efforts.

@Iamnotsoexcited fabulous plan - I think I'll follow you to the fridge to find a nice class of white wine :-)
