Waiting Lists
Hello
Does anyone know anyone who in the past has got into any of the Canterbury/Faversham grammar schools on the waiting list alone by any chance?
I know there is a lot of movement, but wondered if the waiting lists ever come into play for any of these schools.

I know of a boy who got into the langton on the waiting list...he was something like second on the list and the boy above him (1st) chose not to take a place when it was offered...it was in June last year I think...so quite late. There is always a chance that people choose to go private at the last minute...if you are 1st or 2nd on the waiting list you have a fair chance but otherwise it is a fairly long shot I think.
Good luck with it all
Good luck with it all

Thankyou
Have phoned both schools, one wouldn't tell me and said that they are sending a letter to me, and the other (which I know has a longer waiting list of more local children) is going to phone me and let me know.
Which kent school is it that your friend found out the waiting list position for her child?

I asked a GS in Kent to confirm their PAN had / had not been reached and was told quite firmly I had to wait. When I explained it was not as I was on the waiting list but for my own peace of mind for appeal they said it makes no difference to me, but that they are not 'oversubscribed'. Left that to me to work out, which I did!
Good luck to you all with your placements

Gosh, still in the dark.
Phoned QE again today, told me that they would let me know after the Easter holidays his position on the waiting list, because they are witing for admissions to let them know of any late applicants who want to join the waiting list, and don't want to get anyone's hopes up yet.
When I queried the letter that they are sending me, (which is 'in the post'), they told me that it is to explain what is 'going on with things' at the moment. I asked if the letter would explain his position, and they just told me that the letter would explain everything.
Don't understand if they do not want to let me know until after Easter.
So, what's this letter about then? Am Perplexed.
Maybe it's to do with the appeal, but they haven't set a date yet!
As my user name suggests..........FRUSTRATED!!!!!
