Allocating letter

Post by Fishz »

Do Gloucestershire County Council send out letters allocating secondary schools to all students due to start in September 2013? We haven't received one, but I have done everything online so far so I'm not worried as I have accepted online already (at 12.10 on the first :lol: ) I would quite like to see it all in black and white though and I suppose with the post it could come Monday. Just wondered if anyone else is still waiting for the letter.

We didn't get one from the LA last year but STRS were very quick to send out a welcome letter within about 5 minutes (OK, maybe a day) of our accepting the place, which was reassuring. I think most schools do something similar.

You won't get a letter if you were offered your first choice school. Apparently letters will be sent if you were not offered the first choice so you can ask to go on waiting list and be reconsidered.

Ah right, I didn't notice that. Thank you, I can stop waiting for it to arrive in the post.

South Glos letters came through on 1st. I have since accepted and returned the acceptance via post.

I've just posted in appeals about this, we didn't receive first choice and haven't received a letter.

I have spoken to a very nice lady at Glos CC though and she was concerned that we hadn't received them and advised me to send an e-mail to them asking for reconsideration etc...

We have done all online but today we have recieved a letter from council with admission details dated 7/03!
So I guess they are just late in posting them, we did not even expect one :-)
