Bizarre - Out of county Second round allocations
Posted: Thu May 05, 2011 11:29 am
Just heard today on the telephone that my ds has been offered RGS from second round allocations. Found out by accident when I rang Oxfordshire regarding allocations. Bizarre thing is that I was not even aware that I had put this as a preference. I had emailed Oxfordshire on 1st March after initial allocations to find out if it was possible to add RGS but was told that I needed to put it in writing on the form that they were sending out. I then decided that transport to RGS was too complicated so only put in writing to be on the waiting list for my original 2 grammar schools on the CAF - JHGS and SWB. However Oxfordshire took my original email as a request so have been offered RGS.
Still hoping for JHGS - as transport to RGS would be very difficult for 7 years, and two younger siblings to consider.
Seems there is quite a time lag between Bucks second round allocations and Oxfordshire as letter was only posted from Oxfordshire on Tuesday (still has not arrived).
