If in London and you got a place at your preferred school via the waiting list, how far down were you and how long did you have to wait for your place?

[CloudsOverHead]

We're 40+ on the waiting list for our preferred school (250 intake) but before any second round offers were made. I was told by the admissions people that there was a lot of movement to come (in London so always lots moving in/out/going private) but don't know whether to hold hopes high or assume it's never going to happen.

In previous years, I know people who were in the 60s on the list (same school) who got their place in early April but others who only moved from 50ish to 30ish before giving up in August.

Really interested to hear other experiences please!

She's going. Thanks for all the thoughts on here. We were reassured by her positive attitude - despite all the uncertainty it raises

Thanks for letting us know. I hope she has a great time. It’ll be exciting.

Best of luck to your DS. Hope she settles in quickly and has a great time at the school.

Hi Mums,
I have a question regarding waiting list for Bexley Grammar School for year 7 admissions. How much do they move? My children are on the list and their ranking is under 10. What are the chances of getting in? Any experiences? Please share your thoughts. Thanks

You’d be better off going onto the eleven plus exams forum as they usually have waiting list trackers and other people also waiting and providing updates. Good luck
