I'm not awaiting anything, but just to say I'd give them a call / email. Although students aren't in today the staff have an inset day and we've had a couple of emails over the past few days, so you should be able to get a response. I think they were about the last school to send out the letters last year, and I think they're one of the later schools to start term, so it may be that it's in the post, but with only just over a week to go, I would check with them directly in case it's lost in the post.

Still not got it. Phoned the school and got a terse response. Perhaps they have had a number of phone calls about this. But apparently the letters were sent out First Class on Friday evening, so we should get them today.

Frankly this all feels a bit too down-to-the-wire and I’m becoming less keen on DRHS.

How frustrating. Make sure you've got a photo for the form ready. Hope it comes today

What’s needed? Is it a passport photo? I can take dd to get that after school if so. It’s disconcerting not to be able to tell dd when she’s doing the test. I can’t help worrying that our application has been lost entirely. I couldn’t bear 6 more months of prep for a late test.

But we registered within about half an hour of the applications opening in May so it shouldn’t come to that!

I would imagine it’s not the post being late (we’ve had issues with post) but the terse and seemingly unhelpful response. They could have at least told you your slot and made generic declaration doc available on website.

You do need a photo, to prove your daughter is who you say she is. A bit odd, there can’t be many instances of fraud surely? :o I used one i printed off a colour printer.
