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.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
