Southwark Primary School Admissions for Sept 2013

[James Barber]

Tomorrow letters detailing primary school allocations will be sent out 1st class and will be available online from 5pm.

If you're dissapointed with your families allocation please get in touch. Between 17 April and 2 May when people confirm places and waiting lists do shift.

Last year in Southwark 78% of families received their first choice primary school.

Southwark will as always will also provide support for families unhappy with their allocation.

Of the 145 families who didnt get one of their six preferences 72 came from the wider East Dulwich area.

Fingers crossed for everyone.

Thanks for the reassuring message. It's great that you and Renata engage with this forum so much - it's really useful and appreciated.

[Renata Hamvas]

To add to what James has said,

Liam White, the School Preference Advisor holds one to one sessions with parents to help them out if they are unhappy with their allocations.

Waiting lists do shift quite a lot between offer day and September, so don't panic if in the first round your are unhappy with the school you have been allocated.

Good luck everybody for tomorrow,

Renata

Anyone else feeling a bit sick....roll on 5pm!!

[bjm]

Yes ... roll on 5 indeed. Good luck to all waiting.

[Emski]

Does anyone have the link handy for where we can check? Thank you and good luck!

[midivydale]

Good luck everyone!

[KatsuQueen]

9 past and still no email!! I'm going mad....Have others received theirs??

[verds]

No email yet, and I can't log on to the website. I'm off to buy some wine. Anyone want one?

[Crokes]

Good luck everyone.... just logged on and results showing. Very pleased with 1st choice. Hope others are as lucky.

[Monkey]

Log onto the eadmission website. It's all there even though I did not get the email!

We got Goodrich but then we live opposite so I was not too worried.

Good luck to everyone!

[Polly D]

Same - no email but logged on and got our 1st choice. Phew. Good luck everyone.

[James Barber]

Bizarrely the eAdmissions system has just emailed me a repeat of the secondary school place we were offered.

Suspect I'm not the only one.

James, Renata,

How do we find out where we are on the primary schools waiting lists? Who is it best to contact?

Thanks

[slimjim]

Can you just accept online now (it says to wait for the letter)?

[Emski]

Thanks for the advice, Renata. I will email Liam on the address you provided. We have not been offered any of our 6 choices - instead a school in West Norwood that I haven't heard of and won't be able to get to (far too far to walk and not on a bus route). Feeling pretty shafted - we only live 500-odd metres from our first choice.

If anyone has any further advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

[kamath]

just seen mine . none of my choices and a school miles away I have never heard of . crying

[Ryekids]

Just over 450 yards from Goodrich and did not get in. Have been offered Langbourne.

We have logged in and it says our application was cancelled, although it wasn't!

me too. but not as close to goodrich, but close to 4 other schools amd get one 3.5 miles away that is trick on bus and then long walk !

[Abney]

I'm in Lewisham and didn't get any of my 6 either. Gutted.

I'm not affected this year but would advise not to panic. You are normally placed on the waiting lists for schools that were higher up your choice. Also, there is a huge amount of movement, particularly in the next two weeks as people accept/decline places but it continues right up until Sept.

the worst that happens is you go to a school temporarily and change later as we did (beginning of year two) as London has such a transcient population moving schools is quite normal. Hold on it should be ok but may be nail biting enroute xx

Our results are not on eAdmissions (from previous applications), but I assume that's because the Hamlet only accepts paper applications?
