In short

Bromley results come straight from each school, by email. Newstead Wood sends them in this window: 16 to 22 October 2026Newstead Wood School 2027 entry: ResultsChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Newstead Wood School.The source says: The results will be provided to parents via email between Friday 16 October 2026 and Thursday 22 October 2026View the official source. Reaching a school's standard means your child can be considered. It does not mean a place, because each school then ranks children by its own rules. Whatever the email says, your council form is due by 31 October 2026Bromley 2027 entry: School place applications close (CAF)Checked 9 Oct 2026 against London Borough of Bromley.The source says: The national closing date for applications is 31 October 2026View the official source. A result below the standard is one score on one day, and there are still good choices to make.

Before results day: plan for each result

  1. Know how and when results arrive: Not published yet.
  2. Decide now whether you will read the result on your own first or open it with your child.
  3. Think about your school list for each result: reached the score, close to it, or below it.
  4. Put your own deadlines in your calendar. They are listed below.

On results day

Open it on your own first

  • If you can, read the result on your own first, before your child is home. A few quiet minutes let you take it in and choose your words.
  • You can keep the message unopened until you are ready, or decide to open it together. Do what suits your family.
  • If emails or the council website are slow, it says nothing about your child's result. Wait a little and try again.

How to tell your child

  • Start with how proud you are. I am so proud of how hard you worked for this.
  • Say the result plainly and calmly, in a few words. A big smile at the door can be read as good news before you speak.
  • If they reached the score: You reached the score. We will find out which school in March.
  • If they did not: You did not get the score this time. It was one test on one day, and it does not change how proud we are of you.
  • Let them feel disappointed if they are. You do not need to cheer them up straight away.
  • Let your child decide who else hears their score.
