What's the betting Southwark website crashes at 5? Yup - good luck everybody!! My husband will kill me if our son doesn't get a place - given that we moved from North London specifically to make sure he could go to a decent primary school... (And a few other reasons.... ;-) )

To confirm, if you applied online, you can access the results of your application today, the letters are going out by post today and therefore those of you who applied by post should hear tomorrow. If your email says you haven't been successful (this is a computer generated email), it means you didn't get a place at one of your chosen schools. You should receive a letter in the post with the name of the school you have been allocated.


If you need assistance following the allocation, please contact me (email is best) or one of the other councillors or Liam White the School Preference Advisor, [email protected]


Good Luck,


Renata

WOW! Can I ask what your first choice was, i.e. which school is going to leave many, many people disappointed? I can only imagine that would be a non-sibling community place at DVI...

reneet - its because you live outside this year's catchment area for your higher placed schools. Stay calm though - you automatically go on the waiting list for your other schools, and if you ring admissions you can find out where you are on the list, so if you have a chance of being offered a place during clearing.


Last year we were offered our 6th place school, but ended up at our first place school after eventually being offered a place in late July, so it is still possible to get one of your other choices.

Results out about 40 mins ago. We did get our choice but were siblings so likely... To those not getting their first choice you are automatically put on the waiting list for your higher choice schools and there won't be a lot more they can tell you until people have accepted or rejected their places which there are normally about two weeks from offer and then waiting lists get more meaningful.


Good luck to all. Our first child we didn't get our first choice and my daughter attended a school she was sort of happy at but not thriving. Two school years later( last year) we were offered our first choice and chose to move but only just in time for her younger sister to go there ( and with a lot of wrangling with southwark admissions) and they started last Sept. now very happy but having missed out quite a bit of detail this is the only time we've done the process and it's gone our way. The first two were stressful and difficult but we're now happy. Chances are it will be for you too. Please take heart if you don't get your choice, you'll likely get there eventually

I get a bit confused - do you have to reject your choice to get on waiting lists and if not, how do the places free up? In other words, why would anyone reject the place they've been assigned before knowing they have another place? (barring moving house of private school admission)

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
