The letters are posted first class on Wed 22nd April, so should reach parents on the 23rd:

Thank you.

I called the school and DD is in 14th with 368. Very unlikely to get an offer :(

Did they say she was unlikely to get an offer? Are you appealing?

Hi Salsa,

They did not say it but said under very limited circumstances were the offered turned down in the past.

No, I am not appealing because I did not think there were any grounds for appeal? She is out of county and although she scored 368, much higher than pass mark, she was not offered a place. She needed 370 to get in :(

My daughter got in ooc with 394 but she's not keen so a place may become available for someone on the list soon. She now prefers Townley which she was offered in the first round.

@Mumsy77: Thanks for letting me know x

Out of curiosity, were you not offered one place only? Since Townley was your first choice, DGGS would not have given you a place?

Sorry, I am confused with how things work :p

I think Mumsy77 was offered a place at Townley on National Offer Day, but put her DD's name on the waiting list for DGGS and has now also been offered a place there.
