Does anyone know if the Colchester school waiting lists are being updated at the moment, there hasn't been any movement for a month or so on the CRGS list which seems strange?

I don't know specifically but much of movement is people deciding on independent school places and suspect that there are lot of people putting off decisions over that at present

Oh I didn't realise that thanks. Do you know if there is a deadline for private school places to be accepted? I work in the state system so this is all new to me. Thanks

there are a couple of deadlines - one is for a deposit to be paid and the next is that they commit themselves to paying the first terms fees whether they go or not. In difficult financial times some people will want to wait until the last possible moment before deciding - even if that is very near the start of the first term

I did wonder if the waiting lists are being updated. I contacted Essex County Council and they wrote back saying, the lists are indeed being updated.

Unfortunately for those of us waiting, there isn't much movement.

Today, we have moved ahead in the CCHS IC waiting list by 1 position, since 24th March. Someone must be very happy today. Congratulations.
