The ‘Waiting List’ thread seems to have a lot of info being posted.bigupash wrote:Hi, my son got 221 and we live in Solihull, I don't think he has a chance to get into BV (being realistic), but wanted to keep an eye out what is happening with the waiting list and scores including distances, so would appreciate if anyone can update please.

Thanks, with best intentions I was just trying to isolate information for BV rather than trawling through the all the messages....bigupash wrote:Hi, my son got 221 and we live in Solihull, I don't think he has a chance to get into BV (being realistic), but wanted to keep an eye out what is happening with the waiting list and scores including distances, so would appreciate if anyone can update please.

Confusing, because on the other thread it says 227 has been offered...endangeredspecies wrote:DS is 1 on waiting list. 228 and 0.9 miles from school. I know of one other with 228 on waiting list

If there are successful appeals from above your DS on the waiting list, he would nominally move up. But balancing this, you would be waiting for more DC with an actual place at the school to turn it down, before your DS got an offer, as the school would be over PAN.Curlycoops wrote:My DS is on the waiting list for BV with a score of 226 and 3.5 miles. I called B'ham LEA today and they confirmed he was 32nd on the waiting list. She said they'd know more after appeals are heard on 1April but by my reckoning that would push him further down the list not up it.
So, realistically this means BV waiting lists will potentially see movements after 1st April from the way I interpret this....Curlycoops wrote:My DS is on the waiting list for BV with a score of 226 and 3.5 miles.
