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.

      I am looking for a mobile mechanic to help me either take out my car battery or connect a trickle charger.  Does anyone have any contacts for this.   Thanks

      We need to build houses for social rent. Not 'affordable housing' (which is a euphemism for housing that is completely unaffordable to most) - actual council housing.  Taxes do need to go up. We have to stabilise public services and start paying down our national debt to break free of the sway bond markets have over UK governments freedom to act. We are probably all going to have to work longer too. The original UK state pension was there to help those who often had been in physically demanding manual or labouring jobs. The retirement age was set above average life expectancy at the time; It was not designed for a population of mainly white collar workers people to spend one-quarter, to one-third of their adult life in retirement. I know that may sound harsh, and I certainly don't want to work forever, but the fact is that we have an aging population and a diminishing tax base, and no politician who is willing to make fundamental reforms. Mostly we need to grow, and that means at some point, addressing our relationship with the world's largest trading block right on our doorstep. The damage done by Brexit has been crazy. The fact that it's chief architect has managed to come up smelling of roses and may potentially be our next PM is just mind blowing to me.
