Letter from Sutton Grammar School

[999 mum]

Hi Admissions Lady,

Sorry to bother you, is there any way of knowing how many pupils joined from the waiting list? I couldn't find any discussions on this forum or the school website.

Were there only pass/fail letters or was there an in between letter as well?

Thank you

A mum that is worrying at the moment.

We simply sent passed/not passed emails - nothing in between. I'll send you a pm about your other question as the answer is rather fiddly.

Admission Lady,

Thanks for your explanation.

But would it not have been better to have had this information prior to the closing date of the LA application. This is what Wallington and Wilson's did. It meant that if your son passed only one or neither of these schools then you knew prior to the closing date that there was no point selecting both.

I appreciate it would mean Sutton doing their 11+test earlier in the year.

Cheers
