Trinity emails are out for 11+ too, we got a straight no. Still waiting on 4 others, a mix of S, SW and SE London.

Have to say I'm pretty nervous now about getting 5 straight Nos, will feel like a big mountain to overcome.

Congrats to everyone with a place, commiserations to those who miss out - I really feel for you - and good luck to those still waiting.

City girls email is out

Good news for you I hope @PreplexJ

KGS offers are out!!!

SamPoodle123 · 10/02/2023 09:21

I cannot believe it, my dd got G&L as well! So happy for her. Still in shock. I was not expecting this. Now I can relax. One more left, Emanuel. But G&L is her first choice and we will probably take it. I still want to go to the offers events though to look at all the schools properly.

Setyoufree · 10/02/2023 09:22

I'm on SE rather than SW but waiting for offers today too, trying to stay distracted and not refresh email too much....

chocomochi · 10/02/2023 09:22

Delighted to have received an offer from KGS too! So glad it’s come early to stop me refreshing my emails every five minutes!

Well done to those with offers. And sit tight to those on WLs

Lolakath19 · 10/02/2023 09:22

@SamPoodle123 congrats! I have not seen any offer holder for G&L in the offer though I hope they will send something later

It’s started off with an offer for us! I actually cried from the relief that all DD’s extra work hasn’t been for nought! 😅

Huge congrats! What a relief!

Dallasdays · 10/02/2023 09:23

KGS email out - we got a place! Totally delighted!

swgeek · 10/02/2023 09:26

Congrats to all the offer holders, amazing! It seems like all schools decided to send emails very early this year, last year was excruciating!
And to those on WL, just look how many offers will be turned down in the next weeks from mums on this thread alone, WL will definitely move a lot! Best of luck!

LondonMum20222 · 10/02/2023 09:27

QuiteAJourney · 10/02/2023 09:14

KGS emails are out!! We are over the moon to have an offer!

Am beyond thrilled for you and your DD - huge congrats!

Yarnie · 10/02/2023 09:30

The excitement from offer holders is palpable! I love it. Well done, your DCs. Hope satisfactory resolution is swift for those who got a No or WL.

Amazing to see all the offers coming in after watching all your journeys over the past months. The excitement on here is palpable - huge congrats! Now the only annoying wait is the end of school when you can share the news with your DCs!

Well that worry didnt last long.

Dulwich College emails are out, and we got an offer! Yay! Worries alleviated for a bit.

Yarnie · 10/02/2023 09:43

We got a yes from Emanuel. My DS will be over the moon as it’s his first choice. Just have to figure out if it’s ours!

Despite a scary THIN letter it’s A YES from St George’s for DD for a 13+ place 😁🍾! I actually had to go sit down at the kitchen table to open it I was so upset to see just a little thin one so thought it must be a No ! I know it’s not our first choice but I am happy to have a mixed bigger school to choose from too after two other offers from smaller girls schools . Tomorrow is the crunch time though with our first choice St John’s .
Granted these are less academic than what we would have gone for in London due to practicalities like school journey and wanting a 13+ so she didn’t have to change schools again after just 2 y at the current one .Can’t help to wonder how she would have done if we applied to where I originally planned to while still living in SW London .
I hope DD will be happy and proud , she’s such an insecure type with no confidence in her own abilities ! Congrats to all offer and WL recipients and good luck to those still waiting !
