Southwark families with lewisham school offers

[Mae]

Hello family room- I just wanted to share this as I was horrified that we might have missed our offer and been in a right mess come September. We were offered a lewisham school we are happy with and our southwark letter said we didn't need to do anything else as it was our first choice. Luckily I'm a worrier so called lewisham admissions who told me that southwark need to formally accept it with lewisham to ensure the place. When I rang southwark they seemed to not know this -I had to e mail both teams to request they did this. I m waiting to hear back and will chase it until confirmed in writing!

I just wanted to make sure anyone in the same situation at least made a call to check this out. (Lewisham basically said they don't operate the southwark first choice automatic acceptance policy)...
