Zorro, I bet dozens of parents have called - don't worry, its the office staff who have thick skins and won't even remember you called after 5 minutes.zorro wrote:Hopeforthebest,
I bottled it!
Will give them a few more days to get exams over, also don't want to be perceived as neurotic pushy parent!
Will keep you posted!
I wouldn't hesitate to call. Exams won't be over for ages, but it will be a different person dealing with admissions from exams.
You are a paying customer and those fees buy a little courtesy and indulgence.
The only 2 pieces of post I have ever actually known to be lost were both from our local independent school-one inviting eldest ds to exam and the other inviting younger sibling to scholarship assessment. If I hadn't summoned up the courage to ring we would have missed them.
It would take them less than a minute to say we're sending them out next week and then all you have to say is thank you and they will never remember you!
Pick up the phone tomorrow!

Yeah - why is everyone so scared of school office staff? Who cares? If it were me and I did not get a satisfactory answer from the school office, I'd ask to speak to the headmaster/mistress, or write them a letter direct.
There must be people who still back out at this stage and lose their deposit, so you should still be at the honeymoon stage where they should be lovely to you.
Good luck.

Rang school this morning- straight through to voicemail so left message.
Had message on my answerphone this afternoon saying that we will be receiving an information pack in June and next week will receive an invite to a get-together also in June.
At least I know now that we haven't missed any correspondence!
