Good luck and hope the waiting list moves quickly for you.
DD was 45th on the wait list 3 years ago and was offered July 25th. I know it went lower than that with offers still being made in September.

Great news for the waiting list to move at KE Handsworth Girls, could mean the waiting list for Sutton Girls also moving assuming they were offered SCGGS.
Hopefully some families getting Sutton offers from BCC very soon.

Just called BCC, my daughter was 13th for SCGSG on the 26th of March is now 14th. Waiting list going the wrong way for us. :(

It can feel disheartening at times.

Remember SCGSG have one of the largest cohorts and don't run a separate pp list.In my experience they have one of the largest movements on their waiting list.

Please remain positive and don't think about it.There is a long way for the waiting list to move yet.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

The school they have given my daughter has serious issues, it requires improvement and staff coming in and going out like a revolving door.

Thanks Quasimodo for your kind and reassuring words.
You are right we should just see what the next few weeks and months brings and hope for the best.

Knowing in previous years the list has gone into the 40's and 50's I would be stunned if you don't get a place from 14th.
Have everything crossed for you.

Thank you booellesmum.

You just think to yourself that this is the year it will not go down to your daughters waiting list number.
Like many have said it will happen so I am going to remain positive. :)

Hi All

I am new to the forum. The forum is useful. It does appear to be a waiting game.
My daughter’s score was 217 and she is 20th on SCGS waiting list as of 6 April 2018.

Thought I would throw this in the pot of scores if it helps :)

Hi All

Just called Birmingham City Council and daughter is now 21st on the list with score of 217. :?

I think I need to be patient and wait a fortnight. It does seem like this year is different to other years.
