The letter said we were sure to be offered a place and they don’t tell the ranking because they don’t like pupils joining and feeling to compare themselves to others.

Oh I see. You must have scored very highly then. Congratulations! Presumably you are accepting the offer?

Definitely we will accept !
DS is thrilled, although we didn’t have much time during the pandemic to visit the school properly. Will they organise some open days now?

Lovely! We didn’t get much chance to visit either, just a very quick tour. I think they organise something in the summer term.

415 rank in October, moved to 219 post OOC removed. Got an offer from Latymer .
We are accepting the offer and extremely excited to kick off the new journey.

I already know two kids from DS class who had a Latymer offer but will go to independent schools, maybe this information will help people on waiting list. I don’t know how much the movement is but it might be quite a lot

Last ranking ( January one after outcatchment removed) is 302. Just called school today. Waiting list will be released end of this month. Good luck.

Hi, I wonder if someone can help.

My DC hasn’t been offered a place but I believe we will be on the waiting list.

Should we still appeal? Or do we wait and see how the waiting list moves?

Not sure how this all works and what the next step should be. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

I think you can do all at the same time. Appeal while on waiting list.

What would be the basis for your appeal?
