Hello. Short time lurker here having only really looked at the forums since results day. DS scored 231 in Warwickshire but we elected to have score shared with Birmingham. Not heard a peep from Birmingham. Anyone else still waiting?

We will preference KES anyway and keep everything crossed for a waiting list offer.

Hi Minnie - can you give the ranking info for a score of 231 please - it helps to build up a bigger picture of the scores/ranking!

106 with 9 other boys with same score. I've just noticed the other thread re the Birmingham letters being expected tomorrow! Told you I'm new to this...;)

Birmingham letters out tonight , first class.

Warks didn't send info to them until Friday I believe!

You should be ok for KES, 228 I believe was lowest offered for this year.

We've had our post this morning and no Bham letter - has anyone else waiting had theirs this morning?

No, not had ours either.

So I was straight on the phone, again, to FO. Not all post went out last night!

Should go out tonight!

I'll phone again later to get double confirmation they are definitely going.

I had an email from Bham today and they said

'Letters were sent last night/today so should receive tomorrow at latest'

I'll believe it when it see it. :?

Last Wednesday I rang the FO and specifically asked if Warks people's letters would be delayed or would they be sent out the same time as Bham. She told me that they were all going to be sent that night first class!

Yes, it's irritating. I just want the letter so I can do the school choices admissions form.

Warks are a little to blame, apparently they didnt get the info to Bham until quite late on!

As you say the 6004 number is a waste of time.

This morning I called the FO main switchboard and the transferred me through.

Rest assured, if they don't turn up tomorrow, I will be calling them again :x
