Alleyn’s with a scholarship confirmed ✅ 😊

11plus2nd · 14/02/2025 10:04

And Yes for GL too

Well done @SunnyDay33 on KGS! We are waiting on that, LU and GL. Did you get an email from GL?

@Dallasdays , thank you! I re-sealed the letter accurately and will wait for her to open it herself after school. Yes, received the email from G&L at 9.23am

Dallasdays · 14/02/2025 10:05

Got the GL email and got an offer!

Heidi245 · 14/02/2025 10:07

G&L emails are out

5daysleft · 14/02/2025 10:10

@11PlusCraziness Thanks for the info. Hope I don’t have to wait till 4pm. 😂

Congrats on all the offers!

SupermarketMum · 14/02/2025 10:15

Do any of your offers mention offer holder days? We’ve had two offers so far (waiting for the other 2) but none mention offer days… I’d love another visit to the schools to help decide.

ncsurrey22 · 14/02/2025 10:15

congrats on all the offers!

Just an observation from last years, it always seems that those with positive news are more likely to post than those with WL/rejections so it always seems that everyone except you has offers if you follow these boards.

Fingers crossed for all those still waiting! xx

Twinklestoes198 · 14/02/2025 10:28

Congrats everyone with all the offers! Well
done to all the DC’s and parents! Can’t believe the journey is over. Good luck with the decisions. Enjoy celebrating!

Cleta · 14/02/2025 10:33

Did anyone heard from Kings College ?

11quandary · 14/02/2025 10:33

Kings emails are out, at least the No emails. Waiting for LU too.

Bogginsthe3rd · 14/02/2025 10:35

Offers with scholarships all round for our top 4! ✅So proud but we already knew how clever they were. Just a choice of which schools to turn down now !

If you email them they will have a day, but most likely it will be more like a school tour than a big event for the kids like some schools put on. I have heard mixed reviews on the offer says so a tour might be a smart idea.

Any humility genes in your family?

Cyd4 · 14/02/2025 10:42

Many Congrats to all of the offers.
We have had a yes from Kings and from Hampton

555Stars · 14/02/2025 10:43

Still waiting on LU also; our int’ email came at 3pm

But a bonus is that I got a call encouraging us to accept-which is nice to hear that really want my dd.

Congrats to everyone so far and fingers crossed for those waiting! Just hoping this all ends by midday!

I assumed it must be a satirical post because surely nobody would be that emotionally tone deaf....🙄

Cleta · 14/02/2025 10:33

Did anyone heard from Kings College ?

Yes we have. Waiting list for us for King’s 13+, but Hampton was his first choice so will choose that. Seems for King’s waiting list you have to sit another exam in September of Y8 - no way he’ll want to do that!! :-)

Nottoolongtogo · 14/02/2025 10:44

NoMoreFalafelForYou · 14/02/2025 09:26

Anyone heard from Ibstock yet?

No and if two years ago is anything to go by, won’t come out until around 4.30pm!

I would really hope so

Worth remembering if your child got a ‘no’ from a school, they are in the majority.

And also so dependent on the day/ how they feel about the school etc. Mine got a “no” from the school that we had as our “back-up” and thought was a dead cert, which came a week before the others and really rattled him (and us!)
