Dancemum1 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 @SpinningBoy nothing here I'm afraid, feels so bitter sweet, losing hope the more the days go on, keep.doing the lottery too, an MDS would feel like winning the lottery too at the minute 😬 IV got everything crossed for us all xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutugirl Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Someone should have some news somewhere ! My little pupil has given his MDS back for sure . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowlight Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Have patience folks. I know the wait is really, really difficult, but remember the school may be operating with limited staff at the moment. At the best of times it can take a while to sort out the admin - right now it could take longer. Take heart from @tutugirl's post - there will be good news to come for some. Wishing you all the best in your waiting 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farawaydancer Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I know a y7 who’s been given a place from the waiting list so there is some movement. There’ll be more yet I’m sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancemum1 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I think we will hear more next week but I doubt there will be much movement MDS wise as they seem to have been giving them out as they've been returned, I'm thinking most will have made their minds up by now knowing that other people are waiting on reserve lists 🤔 still crossing everything for everyone xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So although the initial offers have been made and accepted/rejected, this then triggers another round of offers and handing back of places accepted elsewhere. It really isn’t usually clear until the end of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutugirl Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I do hope some information is given tomorrow , as to the waiting list situation . Children with multiple offers won’t know what to do otherwise . Even if they only disclose ‘ near the top ‘ or ‘ pretty low down ‘ it would help with decision making Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calea Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 @tutugirl - in my last communication with Hammond (at the end of last week) they said all details will be sent out after the deadline of 17th April - I.e don’t expect to hear anything until after 20/04/20! They are officially back working then! Be patient there will be some movement! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Hope this helps? 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bothballet Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I remember this only too well from last year. The waiting was the worst bit! I really feel for you all and really hope you get some answers soon. School returns on Monday After the Easter holidays so hopefully they’ll start to contact people. As hard as it is don’t be too despondent if they don’t as they’re also trying to move everything over to distance learning and support the current pupils in doing this. My DS wasn’t lucky enough to be awarded an MDS last year but there are other options. Please DM me if you want to chat. Stay safe x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farawaydancer Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 There’s no one actually at school so emailing will be the best way to get hold of anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Butterfly Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hi everyone. School has gone back today with everything online- I don’t think there is anyone at school to answer any calls- but you would definitely get hold of someone in the finance team if you e mail. So sorry that you are all waiting, it’s obviously made this situation so much harder with the way things are. Wishing you all so much luck x this was us, this time last year, so I do get it x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calea Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 They told me by email paperwork would be sent out sometime this week! Remember school admission packs are quite a lot of paperwork / forms too plus most likely being mailed out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinningBoy Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hello Hammond Hopefuls! Meet you back here tomorrow! March and April 2020 are officially proving to be the longest months ever! It’s my son’s birthday early next week. Would be lovely to have some positive news. But, even if we have no mds funding, it’s been positive to get this far. Health and happiness and best of luck to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
