Parmiter's waiting list

Post by Theradlettonian »

Does anyone know how far in the past the Parmiters waiting list has gone down to. My boy is at 13th place, which at 4 applicants per place puts him somwhere between 49th & 52nd in real terms.

No, but I do know of someone who has just turned down their (academic) place at Parmiter's so there will definitely be some movement.

Watdad - do you know whether that is 5ish children or 20ish children (as more than one child is at each place on the list) please? I'd be amazed if 20ish dropped out!

It's so hard to get into these schools - I do wonder why people put their kids through it & then don't take the place. Ok, there will be a few who win a scholarship (as in the case I mentioned above) or win the lottery, the odd housemove perhaps, but why else would you give up a place?
