Francis Holland Regents Park waitlist

49 replies

ForestOfDave · 21/02/2023 17:50

Francis Holland Regents Park is our first choice school but my DD is on the waitlist. Despite me gently asking for where she might be placed on the list, I've had no concrete reply from the registrar to allay my worries. Does anyone have any experience of the FHS waitlist - length, propensity to move, at what pace, how much they might over-offer, etc.? In fact, anything to give me hope or help me accept that it won't be where my DD will end up after all! Thank you.

GD offered a place at FHS this morning off the waiting list...There will be movement this week as State School apps open up and parents may switch from independent schools. Anyone have an idea hoe FHS compares to Queens College london?

Was this an offer to fhrp or fhss?

We also received a FHS (Regents Park) offer from the waitlist today which we’ve accepted. I’d definitely call tomorrow @ForestOfDave if you haven’t heard yet.

We are also still waiting for FHRP and it’s so stressful and upsetting. For those that heard about waitlist, do you know where you were on wait list? And any advice for us who are still waiting? 😞

No indication of where we were in the WL at FHS though Qeens do give an indication

Still undecided. Betweeen LEH, G&L and FHSS. Leaning towards FHSS.

The pastoral care at FHSS is definitely excellent

ForestOfDave · 28/02/2023 08:53

Well done to those who do have places.

This is so bloody stressful!! Aarrgghh! 🤣

Hi @SuaSponte have you called them? I called last week just to check in and then yesterday am. She doesn’t give much away, and offered the place an hour later. It wasn’t to do with the call though, she just hadn’t had the ok at that point to officially offer as head wasn’t in yet. Definitely call though to remind them that you’re there and keen. Massive fingers crossed. X

SuaSponte · 28/02/2023 10:19

Thank you PT Mum!! I did just call and we have everything crossed. Thank you again. What a stressful process. And congratulation you your daughter of course. 😀

ForestOfDave · 28/02/2023 10:53

@PTMmum did the registrar email or call you with the offer?

Weirdly, she called my husband (despite me being the parent that's been front line through all of this!) @ForestOfDave and then followed up with an official email etc within minutes. Have you called them?

ForestOfDave · 28/02/2023 13:36

Will call later @PTMmum. Stuck on video calls (and Mumsnetting)!

Just heard this morning - we’ve been offered a place. Am soooo happy. Thank you all for your lovely messages and reassurances. And congratulations to everyone who’s heard back with an offer and best wishes to those still waiting! Xx

Congratulations to all those who have heard.
Hopefully more good news from now onwards
