Just heard from KCC. The letters are posted first class on Wed 22nd April, so should reach parents on the 23rd. Also the notice doesn’t go out any other way.

Does anyone know typically, in the past, how many places become available between 1st and 2nd round allocation at skinners?

Thanks :)

The lady I spoke to today said 9 places had not been taken up so I guess there will be at least 9 if that helps

Thanks NBD1

I wonder how many people who scored a few marks off the Skinners 364 cut off will have put their DS's on the waiting list for the 2nd round allocation..? 100%, 50%, less.., any guesses? :?

We live ooc and have just had an email saying my son has been offered boys grammar off the waiting list but no mention of skinners.we got 359, what did you get? I feel like it must have been a no and must be pretty far down. Really not sure why we have had email before Wednesday either!

Wow! What grammar is this? I thought you were only targeting Skinners? Are you pleased? Have you told your son? I remember you had your doubts.
