Guildford High School Offer Letters

[ThatKindOpalSwan]

Has anyone had an offer letter today? Our postman has been so we won’t hear until Monday at the earliest now. I’m wondering if they send offer/rejection letters at same time. Good luck to everyone applying.

@SouthLondonM Congratulations. You must be pleased. I hope we can avoid the 11+. I don't need the stress 😅

They will allmost always have people on waitlist because there will be people letting go of thier seats for various reasons such as getting offered from grammar schools , relocation issue etc. it’s just that nobody knows how far waitlist moves and you can ask them about your waiting list number.In state schools it’s transparent and it’s entirely dependent on marks. Not sure about GHS

For those not getting in, seriously don't worry, there are arguably much better schools around the area - where one can achieve a pretty wholistic education without all the competition - which, will continue all the way through until sixth form. Its case and point proven - I've lived in the area for 28 years and know many families who have gone - it's stressful - no matter what some parents say to the contrary!

The shear fact that there's an entire thread on "GHS offers" just shows how highly pressured and competitive getting in is.

With that in mind, your girls are clearly all very bright and regardless of whether they got in or not, it's not the end of the world. Maybe see that as a positive? In Guildford and the surrounding villages alone there are some amazing schools, further afield, even more options!

Well done to those two got in - but for those who didn't, you'll do great!

Congratulations to those with offers. We are prepping for 11+ and GHS is one of our choices. If anyone has any prep advice or wants to share how much they prepped? Thanks so much
