Final Countdown....

[kusanagi]

Wow - BCC really have their act together - congratulations to you all. Happy children tonight. x

I'm having a meltdown at the moment - I've just read on another thread that someone didn't get their first choice of BHS, there goes my dream of it being 'all offered'!
Won't get a letter until tomorrow at the earliest and BCC haven't posted the allocation profile yet - just going to sit here and have a breakdown
Sally-Anne and Etienne - please don't book any holidays anytime soon - might need your services.

That was ours really pinned everything on BHS, we did however get offered BGS, but am hanging on for BHS, all this waiting is not nice. We really did think that it would be all offered, especially as there was a thread about 1st choices and BHS didn't appear to be over subscribed

Yes, it's disappointing kusanagi, I've seen the allocation profile now and there's only one thing for it.... I'm going shopping.

Delighted to have got first choice of John Colet. So pleased not to have to appeal.

Within the report, in relation to grammar " ... With a fixed number of places and competition getting tougher ... the temptation is to tutor earlier and earlier ... more inquiries from parents of children as young as five"

Poor children, just started school and then 'off to the Tutor we go'

Edited to say ... "sorry off-topic, but I was in shock!"

Logged into email at work on the offchance and lo and behold it was there - well done BCC, just a shame couldn't tell DS2 he has his first choice before he went off this morning. Oh well it will be a pleasant surprise tonight.

andyb-great news

I was so busy focusing on the Bucks schools, thinking our top choice Tiffin Boys was unrealistic given 1700 boys sat for some 140 places, that I'm now totally dumbstruck! DS has got Tiffin after all
Good luck to you all still waiting for news, I hope you get what you are after.

Brilliant news munch - I just love it when everything falls into place. We know of 3 of DS2's buddies that have got the same school so he is chuffed to bits. DS1 just rolled his eyes at the prospect of all his little brother's annoying friends being there .

Congratualtions to all who have go their schools but especial congrats to munch and DS, it's lovely when you read great news like this:
