Cambridge independent Y7 offers?

[Waitingforpostie]

Is anyone else anxiously waiting for Y7 offers for Cambridge independent schools?

I am driving myself mad and it isn't even February yet! Does anyone who went through this last year remember when emails/letters actually arrived?

Friend of mines DC got a place at the Leys - heard last week - via email apparently. Don’t think they’ve heard from Perse yet… good luck!

where we are in north west London all the schools seem to be on Friday 13th Feb. Not sure why they all come out on the same day and if this is unique to this area.

Thank you both for your replies. Still nothing in the post for us today, nor by email, and the Leys was one of our choices... Is anyone else still waiting to hear?

The websites for both schools say early February. Hopefully you’ll hear next week.

Thank you. Unfortunately, the websites say something slightly different from the emails sent from the schools, which is also different from some people's experience (getting early offers). None of which helps with the nervous waiting and hence asking for others' experience. Hopefully next week will bring good news.

Oh that’s annoying, it’s so much better when schools give a definite date. Surely they know how agonising the wait it already?! Best of luck with it.

We are waiting too, agonisingly. Perse School sent out offers on 4 Feb 2022 and 2 Feb 2024. Both on Fridays.

Thank you sharing that info @oneseveneight I agree, agonising!

Do you happen to know if there are any envelope clues? A big A4 envelope for an offer but a small one for a rejection, like Oxbridge in the old days?

I guess the 6th looks most likely then (not that that will stop me watching for the post/repeatedly checking email all this week!).

Yes, rejection just one page of standard trite but offer in a large envelope with various bits and pieces, a large portion to do with money, where we are all desperate to offer. ;-)

Last year we got offer on Saturday, 1st Feb. A big A4 envelope. Rejections might come bit later in the week.

We’re waiting too-for The Perse and the Stephen Perse. I had not realised I would feel so nervous. Have you heard anything yet @Waitingforpostie @oneseveneight ?

Not yet. Set my timer for this Sat to relief anxiety...

Nothing here either. The anxious wait continues...

Stephen Perse result just received via email FYI.

I hope it was good news for you @oneseveneight

Leys offer received here this morning by email so that's a big relief. Still nothing by post though. Maybe tomorrow...

Yes, very pleased. Thank you. I heard that everyone from our school applying for Leys got an offer! Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

We have received the A4 envelope from the Perse just now in post.

Our Perse post just arrived - a fat offer envelope. For those frantically trying to guess when offers come out in future years as I was: DC was tested on Sat 17th Jan and offer received three weeks later on Sat 7th Feb.

Really good luck to everyone else! I hope it was good news for you too@oneseveneight

We are still waiting to hear from Perse. I know that many got letters today. Most kids got offers, some on waiting list and some got a rejection. Some other kids haven’t received a post like us. Does it mean it’s likely a no( as someone has suggested in this thread?)

I hope you now have an answer @School11 I know of some who received offers yesterday (Monday) which must have just got stuck in the post so a delay did not equal a no.

Yes, we got an offer. The post reached us only today. For the benefit of future readers, it seems Perse sent out all the offers by first class on Friday. They are not sent in batches and not grouped based on the result.

Congratulations @School11 !
