Norwood school waiting list

Does anyone know if the Norwood School or Kingsdale waiting list traditionally has any significant movement? My daughter was very disappointed not to receive a place at Norwood as she fell in love with the place.

oh really, im trying to be so hopeful that the list may move as from previous years being in the 30's alot of children got a space by 1st september.

My son got our 2nd choice but he really wanted kingsdale.

thanks for sharing

I get that. Kingsdale is a good school but it’s also supremely good at selling itself. I was in your position and it took me a while to feel ok about my child’s given school but honestly we couldn’t be happier and have now found the pros totally outweigh the cons in its favour. I can’t seem to pm so you might not want to say which school you’ve got but I’m interested!

Ah ok. We’re south-east so far away. Well, what I would say is that the main list moved incredibly fast, more so than the scholarship where obv people are more invested. Good luck and I hope you and your child get what they want.
