Pre-School admissions outcome

We received the outcome of pre-school admissions on the evening of Wednesday 18th April. Fortunately for us, it was a good result. We got our first choice of pre-school for Cuchi.

We had to apply for schools by 15th January and then wait 3 long months for the result. Many people is not happy as they didn't get their first or second choice.

A friend of my husband said that he got the 3rd choice and it is an hour away from home. That sounds ridiculous!

My first choice of school is a two-form, it has two classes of thirty students each. Out of the sixty places, thirty four were siblings. More than half, that means more than one class!

Next steps:
We have to accept or reject the offer within 2 weeks. Then the council will inform the school and the school will get in touch with the accepted families.

What to do if you don't like the outcome:
You don't accept and can request to be in the waiting list for your first choice. It is a good idea to do this as many people decline their previous option.

You can appeal, but the probability to get a positive outcome is slim.

Good luck!
