Nothing here in Lancashire yet. It just says emails will be sent throughout the working day tomorrow.

DanceMum - we're in Lancs too! I also heard they are sending them in batches by email during the day tomorrow - so they won't go out all at once. I am not sure if/when they update the online portal.

Flametornado · 29/02/2024 23:37

I'm in Nottinghamshire our portal updates at midnight and emails sent out from 8.30am. this last hour is going so slowly. hope it doesn't crash! 🤣

StormHawk · 01/03/2024 00:05

I think the portal must be updating right now, just tried to get on but can’t. Managed to get on the site without difficulty half an hour ago, I wonder if everyone else is trying right now too and that’s why it’s not working

TheGriffle · 01/03/2024 00:08

Nothing here yet but I’ve got no idea when they normally send the emails/update the portal.

BettyBoo246 · 01/03/2024 00:09

I logged on at 00.00 and the offer was there already.

We got our 1st choice thankfully

Good luck to everyone else

I must stop pressing 'refresh' and go back to sleep! I woke up at 11.59...so aware even in my sleep!

poolcrew · 01/03/2024 00:11

It's meant to be 10am for me. I'm 5 hours behind so keep checking in case it magically appears at midnight! At least when I get up in the morning it will be there

Flametornado · 01/03/2024 00:15

My son got first choice, absolutely delighted x

Flametornado · 01/03/2024 00:16

Good luck to everyone else still waiting and congratulations to those with good news already x

Previous years we’ve been in Notts who’ve been quick. Unfortunately now over the border and no news yet

slithytoveisascientist · 01/03/2024 00:20

Nothing for Cheshire yet

ProcrastinatingWithVipers · 01/03/2024 00:26

Liverpool has a Message on the application portal saying 12pm.

Logged on, just in case and it's changed to say "offer made" but frustratingly no information!

Volbeat · 01/03/2024 00:26

In Lancashire. Nothing as yet. Gonna try and sleep

Last year (yes we had to do this last year as well) it took a while for Notts

Flametornado · 01/03/2024 00:30

I had to click on apply for a school place to be able to log in and then on view applications to see mine x couldn't log in any other way than clicking apply for a place X

EveSix · 01/03/2024 00:31

Urgh.
We're in a pickle. DD in tears as desperately doesn't want to go to the school she's been allocated anymore (sibling place) despite being fine with it at the time of application.
All her friends are going elsewhere but we're not in catchment.
This is going to be tricky.

itispersonal · 01/03/2024 00:31

I currently get similar on Derbyshire portal - poor DD2 is really anxious about this despite us downplaying it so I hope it updates soon (she’s autistic before anyone starts)

Hopebridge · 01/03/2024 00:34

We didn't get into first choice of grammar (passed eleven plus and got yes to school) so now have a not great school choice. On waitlist...

Garlicnaan · 01/03/2024 01:43

We didn't get any of our three choices and have been given a school DC won't be going to under any circumstances. I'd rather home educate!

Have put new preferences down and gone onto waiting lists, so now more waiting for us. Really hope we find out soon. DC is an anxious type and will struggle with not knowing when many of his mates will. Thinking of appealing, has anyone done this successfully?
