I think that you can access allocations online from 5pm.


Despite applying for sibling place, can't quite shake off the horror of 2 years ago (when allocated John Donne) now happily at Goose Green but it wasn't fun waiting for that place.. Hope local authority has got it's act together since then and predicted where bulge classes needed.


I wish everyone waiting to hear the best of luck in securing a local place.

does anybody know how waiting lists work if you want to hold out and see if a place comes up at a later date?

Do they decide the order of the waiting list on the normal school entry criteria (ie 1st Special needs, 2nd siblings etc) or is it first come first served?

Also, to go on a waiting list do you have to decline the offer of a place at your allocated school?

If you decline your offer then the LA no longer has any responsibility to find you a place so if you want to hold out for one of your higher choices, accept the place, you should automatically go on the waitlist for your chosen school (LA will be able to tell you where you are on that waitlist) and then wait for shakedown (which is where the list becomes clearer when people have accepted or rejected their offer - this is usually where people are holding a private and a state place or places in more than one borough but as this years was cross borough perhaps there will be less movement than previous years)

Wait list places are, I believe, allocated on the usual criteria

Mellors - no idea if GG having bulge - was mooted but not finalised - I'll see what I can find out.

This was me 2 years ago, and like Mrs Lotte we were offered John Donne!! Got a place at our second choice a few months later, and then a place at our first choice 2 weeks after term started. Just wanted to reassure people that there is a lot of movement on waiting lists so don't give up hope on your first choice! We were originally 7th on our waiting list and managed to get there in the end.

      Post office or Thorpe Park???!

      By Sue · Posted

      It's Christmas. People are sending presents they've left to almost the last minute,  and returning stuff they've bought online for presents and then  regretted. That's on top of all the usual transactions. The Post Office only has a max of four people on the counter, if you include the one nearest the street. They can't suddenly magic up more space! I imagine going when they open would be the quietest time, but what would I know?

      Yes Aroma Lab is brilliant. They also work with an app called Paace which lets you save money on your coffee just by getting your steps in! I got a flat white there for £1.50!
