Hello,

We received a reserve bursary place. Any in the same boat? What is the possibility of getting a guaranteed place? Any relevant information will be beneficial. Such a stressful days

My DS is a bursary place (not at the school you mention) and we will be rejecting all the offers except one so I am assuming it will mean a reserve on a bursary list will get that place, other things being equal. If that helps.

Did you get an offer from City in the end or are you still on the bursary reserve?

We are still on reserve.
Didn’t receive any communication after
it.

Just curious, if they inform parents in any ways or leave them like that.

What about you?

They sent out an email yesterday stating that more than expected had taken up offers so they couldn't reach out to reserve list just yet.

Unfortunately I didn't receive any email.
Did you apply for any other schools?

Yes we did. But prefer City. We are not bursary though.

How about you?

I'm surprised that the uptake has been so high this year, especially with the uncertainty of the 20% tax.

dodooo · 06/03/2024 21:53

Yes, we are bursary.

I emailed them, and they said they will give answer tomorrow.

I don’t have much expectations anymore :)

Fingers crossed for you tomorrow

I didn't receive answer yesterday, I hope it will be today.

Any luck or update? What are your other options?

Hello, yes in the end we got a place! I’m so so happy! What about you?
