Thank you all for your kind words and support. It really means a lot in this stressful time. I rang the admin team at FHSS regarding the waitlist position and they said they do not have one and will need to hold out until end of the month to see how many waitlist places they will be able to offer.

Ok, but you have another WL, have you call that school?

I am completely shocked - DS has an offer for KCS. It was very much an aspirational application for him, so am feeling quite stunned. Harrodian waitlist came through a minute later. Not sure whether to head out for some fresh air or have a lie down. Feeling quite exhausted by all this!

Huge congrats @NellyCortado . We are WL for KCS and have offer for Harrodian.

I wonder if KCS goes into their WL and if yes how deep.

momomamiko · 10/02/2023 14:11

Any more still waiting for LU? I am wondering whether to read into it as a WL or worse…

Running247 · 10/02/2023 14:12

@momomamiko

Yes, anxiously! I am wondering the same.

Both LU (which we did not apply to) and IPS (which we did) are still to come through. Not sure if there are still others...

still nothing from LU either here..

momomamiko · 10/02/2023 14:17

@QuiteAJourney

oh then there is IPS too! Almost forgotten about them and wonder what is taking them so long. I mean they were one of the first with the exams and now almost the last for results with a quiet, long gap in between 🙃

Daydreamscometrue · 10/02/2023 14:18

Congratulations everyone! We've had offers from LU, KGS, Emanuel with scholarship, Dulwich and Whitgift.

NHEHS (which I think a couple of people on here applied to?)

Sass22 · 10/02/2023 14:19

Thank you @secondaryquandries they are for PHS & FH. @HawaiiWake yes I called PHS straight away and emailed them just have to wait now and pray our luck will change. Congrats to all the offers, praying for all of us on WL and no offers 🙏🏼

Notthehill · 10/02/2023 14:19

Hello everyone, has anyone heard from NHEHS?

Congrats!!! Amazing haul of offers!

SWLParent · 10/02/2023 14:21

@LondonMum20222 congratulations! Can I just find out when you heard from LU?

NellyCortado · 10/02/2023 14:23

@momomamiko thank you so much. And to you and DS also!

When did the LU email come through? A friend of mine is waiting.

Daydreamscometrue · 10/02/2023 14:24

The LU offer just came in now

Running247 · 10/02/2023 14:25

@Daydreamscometrue

Ditto to SWLparent’s question: can I ask when you heard from LU?

QuiteAJourney · 10/02/2023 14:25

I think that LU are coming slowly.. some friends had them half an hour ago, others still waiting.

Running247 · 10/02/2023 14:26

Ok thanks. So they probably emailed the yes’s first.

SamPoodle123 · 10/02/2023 14:29

Running247 · 10/02/2023 14:26

Ok thanks. So they probably emailed the yes’s first.

I am not sure that is how it works. Sometimes the yes's can be delayed a little. It was for us with the Putney offer email. Makes it nerve wracking the wait! Good luck to those still waiting.

BestToCome · 10/02/2023 14:29

Great to be here! congratulation to all with good news. and for the rest it the beginning of an alternative route. Many of these Education journeys may converge in the future.

Running247 · 10/02/2023 14:29

@SamPoodle123

I pray you are right. Am bracing myself for bad news though.

SamPoodle123 · 10/02/2023 14:30

@Running247 Good luck!!!

Notskiiing · 10/02/2023 14:30

Congrats everyone on offers received today. Is anyone waiting for Ibstock?

NellyCortado · 10/02/2023 14:31

Has anyone else heard from St John's? Nothing here so far.
