Anyone heard from St Olave's yet?

I thought they said we would hear next at the beginning of May?

I rang the admissions lady yesterday and she said that the induction pack will be going out towards the end of May. If you go onto the school website and then click on the induction section you get the impression that the induction packs have already been sent out (hence I rang to find out why I have not yet recieved one), but in fact the packs will be sent out at a later date. I assume that this is what you were referring to?

yes it is. I have read the induction stuff on the net but would feel reassured to hear from them again just in case there was some horrible mix up where my son's place was not confirmed (even tho I did personally give it in!). I looked on the original offer letter and it does say beginning of may. Thanks for the info from admissions.

I've been waiting for the envelope to arrive too! Offer letter does say after 1st May - was also getting worried that there had been a mistake! Guess we have to be patient!

Just to let all those anxious parents know, St Olaves have sent out the induction packs- we received our pack today. So if you do not recieve your pack pretty soon I would perhaps phone the school- you can never entirely rely on the post!

yay, got ours too!

Was slightly miffed and bemused that they ask for the occupation and email address of the father and not the mother as well! Is that because we are all at home baking cakes all day and unable to use a computer, lol!
