See you Sept! Transition day 4 July like rest of Birmingham schools. Trains also here. We timed the walk from station to school was 10 minutes.

Congratulations

We timed it at 9 minutes from station entrance to school entrance so were very close lol!
Although I am sure ds1 could have walked faster had he not had me with him!

The first page has been fully updated now - if anything has been missed please let me know.

@ Um. I had to slow the husband down as I was trying for a realistic boy dawdle to get a fairly accurate time! Hopefully we'll get a couple of dry runs in before Sept. And, I need to practise letting go

DS now 46th for HGS with 205.
So other lists moving fast apart from HGS

Hi all
DS now no 34 on waiting list for HGS with a score of 205.
Was no 36 at beginning of week.

Take heart that HGS is at least moving (albeit much slower than anticipated).

Our only hope was QMGS, which has moved only by 6 places since 28th March!

Although I've mostly accepted that it won't happen for us (ds has been 14th for weeks), I am rooting for everyone else! It's lovely to see other kids getting their places!

Hi Macmum, my son has a place a QM and just to let you know there will be induction sessions starting from June 5th for pupils to meet classmates. Hopefully if there are no shows on these dates this will release some places in the waitlist.
Fingers crossed for all thise parents still waiting.

The list does appear to have moved by 3. We're now 9th as opposed to 12th last week (Son scored 207 and we live 3.5 from the school).

Just called the Foundation Office. We're now 6th on the Handsworth list. A movement of 3 from Monday 14 May. The list is moving!
