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

It’s not quite as simple as that because each school has a waiting list. 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.

Lots of time yet then I suppose 🤞🤞

I know but more waiting and I am such an impatient person!! Keeping fingers crossed for everyone xx

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

@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? 🙏

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

Has anyone heard anything? I emailed Friday but have not heard anything. There is no answer on the phone. I appreciate the situation but the wait is hard.

[Flower 6]

No nothing ☹️ 

[Milzmam 13]

No nothing here either xx

[SpinningBoy 1]

Nothing here x

It’s a staff training day today, the school officially ‘opens’ tomorrow, so you might have to wait until then 🤞🏻

Anyone had anything through today? Was expecting to have had some sort of forms or communication at least.

[tutugirl 550]

I think you’d need to phone them

I was as well, thought we were initially told all paperwork would be through on 20th.... 

I know had inset yeStepdad & first day of term today, so maybe later. 

[Farawaydancer 268]

There’s no one actually at school so emailing will be the best way to get hold of anyone. 

[Mrs Butterfly 12]

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

[Calea 18]

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!

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.

Thanks @SpinningBoyand fingers crossed for some good news xx

Thanks Spinning boy. Here’s hoping we all get what we need. (Do you think we can sue for stress? 🤣)

Has anyone heard anything or had any correspondence since the initial reserve list emails? I appreciate they will be busy sorting things for existing pupils but would really like to know what next steps are

I’ve not received any correspondence  yet.

[Mummy twinkle toes 265]

No, I emailed the contact email on their website and had a reply. They said they would inform Mrs Charles but nothing further. I guess it is just a waiting game 🤞🏻

[Miss Tutu 1]

No  I haven't heard anything either 

[Betty’s mum 13]

Me neither.. 

[Dancemum1 8]

Nothing here today at all xxx

[Miss Tutu 1]

Has anyone heard anything yet ? 

[Mummy twinkle toes 265]
