What's the betting Southwark website crashes at 5? Yup - good luck everybody!! My husband will kill me if our son doesn't get a place - given that we moved from North London specifically to make sure he could go to a decent primary school... (And a few other reasons.... ;-) )

To confirm, if you applied online, you can access the results of your application today, the letters are going out by post today and therefore those of you who applied by post should hear tomorrow. If your email says you haven't been successful (this is a computer generated email), it means you didn't get a place at one of your chosen schools. You should receive a letter in the post with the name of the school you have been allocated.


If you need assistance following the allocation, please contact me (email is best) or one of the other councillors or Liam White the School Preference Advisor, [email protected]


Good Luck,


Renata

WOW! Can I ask what your first choice was, i.e. which school is going to leave many, many people disappointed? I can only imagine that would be a non-sibling community place at DVI...

reneet - its because you live outside this year's catchment area for your higher placed schools. Stay calm though - you automatically go on the waiting list for your other schools, and if you ring admissions you can find out where you are on the list, so if you have a chance of being offered a place during clearing.


Last year we were offered our 6th place school, but ended up at our first place school after eventually being offered a place in late July, so it is still possible to get one of your other choices.

Results out about 40 mins ago. We did get our choice but were siblings so likely... To those not getting their first choice you are automatically put on the waiting list for your higher choice schools and there won't be a lot more they can tell you until people have accepted or rejected their places which there are normally about two weeks from offer and then waiting lists get more meaningful.


Good luck to all. Our first child we didn't get our first choice and my daughter attended a school she was sort of happy at but not thriving. Two school years later( last year) we were offered our first choice and chose to move but only just in time for her younger sister to go there ( and with a lot of wrangling with southwark admissions) and they started last Sept. now very happy but having missed out quite a bit of detail this is the only time we've done the process and it's gone our way. The first two were stressful and difficult but we're now happy. Chances are it will be for you too. Please take heart if you don't get your choice, you'll likely get there eventually

I get a bit confused - do you have to reject your choice to get on waiting lists and if not, how do the places free up? In other words, why would anyone reject the place they've been assigned before knowing they have another place? (barring moving house of private school admission)

      Chern Thai Restaurant Reopened On Grove Vale

      By Zak · Posted

      They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.

      I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills.

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Soylent Green · Posted

      GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).

      How can one have the confidence that it is not the barista cutting your hair and the barber making your coffee?
