Hi Julie,
Im in the same boat. Our council is advertising that they send out the letter today, So hopefully K will get her letter tomorrow. Postie never arrives early round here though, So she will have to wait to open it when she gets home from school.

Forgot to say
We put 3 choices on the list but to be honest we will be gutted if she doesn't get her first choice.
We moved 35 miles to get her into that school!

Hi Julie

Finger crossed it is good news today for you and your daughter and to everyone waiting!

I heard yesterday and my son didn't get into the first choice which is the one his two older brothers go to, Am feeling really upset and so is he.

Kaz I'm surprised that your son didn't get into the school as he has siblings already there. I would suggest that you look at the school's admissions criteria to see if siblings get a place before children closer to the school. If need be appeal.

Julie I've been out the garden & not heard you screaming as yet so I assume that the postman hasn't yet been!

I am surprised too, Claire, we will appeal but I haven't
heard of many winning appeals (if anyone).

Hope Julie gets her letter soon ! C'mon postie hurry up!

Postman hasn't been yet, but just back from the school and a girl in my son's class has been offered nothing, so now starting to panic..so do i or do i not open his letter

Kaz...i can't believe that i always thought siblings were guaranteed (sp) a place

Good luck to everyone else who is waiting

Good luck Julie

I only put one choice down for my daughter last year and she didn't get it.....she got a school 10 miles away. But, once all the results were out for the private schools places became available at the school of our choice and she got a place.

Kazz.....are you appealing?

Kaz, I put a thread up about appealing yesterday as my daughter is the only one from her school and the village to not get in to first choice. Rang admissions office to see where on waiting list, she is 5th. Know there are 2 from hers going private so just need there to be another 3 somewhere for her to get in! Am filling in appeal form too, you should have a good case as has siblings there. I was told by admissions office here that siblings get priority then they look at distance - we are 19 metres further than cut off point!!
I would check where he is on the list, made me feel more hopeful. Hope things work out.

Thanks for all your advice Dawn Will call them today. I think that is why we are so upset because this decision feels like they are splitting up our family.

OOh Julie steam open the letter!! That is what my friend did yesterday !!
