I didn't realise until today that children who have got into private schools only found out this month (e.g. New Hall in Chelmsford informed their successful applicants on 15 December).
That surely means there are a number of children who will have got high 11+ scores and applied to an Essex Grammar School, who will then turn down the place they are offered to take up their private school place.
Does anyone know what happens with this? EG If National Offer Day is March 1, are lots of places then offered out later in March? And is it a groundswell of places or just a handful?
Like many here, my DS is on the borderline so we are hoping that even if his score doesn't get him in on NOD, then it will before 1 September. Any advice appreciated!
