now I am confused! the booklet we have clearly says it will be posted out on 1 March but they must mean posted out to be RECEIVED 1 March. gotta go out in a min, gawd knows what time the postie will stroll along! Charlotte has decided she wants to open it herself, so I won't be able to pass on any news until after school. YIKES !! Maz. XX

ok I've just gone and got the booklet and this is what it says .... ' offer letters will be posted on 1 March 2007 and email notifications mailed at 0900 2 March 2007 ' so I definitely won't be hearing until tomorrow! Maz. XX

My postie should be here within the hour hopefully. Livvy has been told that today they will be choosing who they want to go up to 'big school' with......ie. who they want to be with in their new class. She's devastated cos she has 5 friends that she wants to be with, but generally they only let you pick 2. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Jeanette x

Yep, must be coming tomorrow!

Im so envious of you all.........our results wont be known untill 25th May!! The children here ( N.Ireland) sit an 11+ test - those that get A's & B's go off to Grammar school ( many over subscribed and the children can choose anyone they wish in any county/district) those that get c's and under go to High School's - again over subscribed & anyone they wish in any county etc.... there are no catchment areas here.

Maz In our area Reading School's get it in post today, e-mail yesterday. We are Wokingham School which is posted today - for tomorrow, but as I applied online have received my notification via e-mail this morning. Wishing you the best of luck! E x

Hi People Here in Lincolnshire i have recieved mine along with the other parents in our school. I am happy to say he is going to his first choice. A friend checked hers online as she applied online and found out at midnight last night her's did't get the grammer but got his 2nd choice. Good luck Kate

Congratulations to you and your son Kate - bet you're pleased! Definitely not today here as I've had the post now. Maz. XX

Thanks maz Told him when he got home. he was over the moon. He sat his 11+ but missed it by 1 point for passing. Was gutted we had to have our 14 year old dog put to sleep on the monday and then he sat the test on the sat. so I feel i maybe to blame, but wasn't sure what to do for the best at the time. But he will do well where ever he goes he's a bright boy bless him. Kate

got first choice, whic one twin now longer wants!!!!!! so am in a quandry!!!!

Just got the letter and YES my son got in the school we wanted How about you Maz got your letter yet? Sue x

Devastated! Olivia has been allocated a place at a school over 10 miles away. We do not live in the catchment area for the school we wanted but she has been attending the feeder school since she started. There are two other children in the same position as Olivia........one has got a place at the same school as her, the other has been given a place at the school at the top of our street. The appeal starts now! Jeanette :-((((((((((((((

Thanks Karen I've just spoken to the admissions secretary for the area and Olivia is 7th on a waiting list of 37 for the school we want. Fingers crossed!

Hi girls ! Shelli - congrats :-) glad you got what you wanted - they will come round to the idea !! Kate - if he only just missed out, there is still a chance he will get in - some of those awarded places may choose a private school, or may move house. Don't give up hope!! Sue - congrats to you too! Jeanette - sorry to hear that :-( very best of luck with your appeal. Well, I have 2 letters here - one from my borough giving the allocation and one from the 11+ borough. BUT I had to promise Charlotte that I wouldn't open it .... she wants to do it with me after school ... it's driving me INSANE !!! I'm counting the minutes! Will let you know later! Maz. XX

lol Karen - I just KNOW I wouldn't get away with it! one hour to go! ring ya later :-) Maz. XX

Maz, Oh how exciting! I hope it's good news. It's only a few months now untill I have to worry about that for Katie. It comes around so quickly, It's scary! Pat xx

pleased for everyone who has had postive results. Jeanette so they were teasing you then if they invited you to their welcome evening???? thats mean isn't it???

Hi could one of you possibly tell me when do you have to apply for secondary school my triplets go into year 6 in September, so have to start thinking about it sooner rather than leaving it to the last minute. thanks for any advice Star

Got ours yesterday and got the school our son wanted. Chrissie

Star your school should inform you of what to do and when, our did. Had booklets sent out In the Sept of Yr 6 Every borough is slightly different. We had the veiwing of the high schools in the Sept the twins evtered yr 6, then the applications had to be had with the education dept by mid Nov. try calling your local council and ask tospeak to admissions they should be able to advise you. but if you're triplets are yr 6 this Sept - then i think I can safely say you'll start it all in Sept!!!
