@noideaboutanything , it's way more than 2:1 even at the most selective schools, it's why the schools won't disclose it. The same pot of dc get most of the offers hence the high ratio rate.

@VickiMent thank you!!
really impressive!! I hadn’t realised academically they’re on their way up!

DS had a fixture the other day with Claremont, kids very amazingly behaved and PE teachers’ behaviour towards kids really impressive ; our school staff is on the strict moody side, so I was really impressed by how they were x

Well done to all those with offers! We've had a CFC offer too, with a scholarship. Very pleased for ds.

Congratulations to everyone who received offers from Claremont 👏__

Congratulations to all those with CFC offers! Fab news!!

Does anyone think Surbiton may be this Friday????

Anno7 · 01/02/2023 22:25

Congratulations all! So lovely to hear great news!

@Taurus23 I caved and called Surbiton today- they are aiming to get news out this week with an email followed by letter in the post 🤞

Taurus23 · 02/02/2023 05:41

@Anno7 fab! Thank you! Really hoping it’s good news

Anno7 · 02/02/2023 06:16

@Taurus23 me too! We loved it- good luck!

momomamiko · 02/02/2023 06:50

Such great news yesterday - congratulations to all offer holders for CFC!

EweCee · 02/02/2023 07:18

@Taurus23 @Anno7 we're waiting on Surbiton too and believe it will be today or tomorrow. (although likely tomorrow). Do you know how many interviews to offers they tend to make?

Didsomeonesay · 02/02/2023 07:51

Congrats on all the offers. It must be so reassuring. We’re just waiting two and I feel like I’ve been stuck in a tumble dryer on spin cycle since mid-dec.

good luck to all others waiting x

underthesea3 · 02/02/2023 08:12

Just wanted to say a huge good luck to everyone. It's been a ride but this thread has been brilliant! Fingers crossed all round everyone x

VickiMent · 02/02/2023 08:23

Well done all so far and hoping for lots of good news later (or tomorrow) for those waiting for Surbiton and Radnor.

We have a waitlist for CFC….the stress continues. 😞

underthesea3 · 02/02/2023 09:11

I think it's Reeds today also but they've been so removed I am not really convinced we've even applied to them anymore! Grin

elevenplusmum22 · 02/02/2023 09:18

@underthesea3 I think Reed’s are posting letters on Monday?
