I was wondering if anyone else has applied for this year? My DD decided that’s where she wanted to go before Christmas so we got her application in a few months ago and didn’t hear from them. Did anyone else that applied get a confirmation that their application was received? I’ve tried emailing a few times but haven’t heard - keeping fingers crossed they got it!

Hello, I would be really grateful if anyone could share their experiences of Moorland as a full time school (as opposed to their Associate programme or summer school I guess). We have experience of their SS, which in our opinion was excellent. We’ve had this in the back of our minds for some time now, but didn’t quite feel ready until this year. Who knows, it still might not be the right time…! Any experience of the application process, what a typical day looks like, how many in a class, and most importantly, whether your child is happy… would be appreciated. Thanks so much 🙂

Hi, my daughter now wants to go to vocational school as she is finding mainstream secondary not right for her! We live in London so have been looking at two day schools in London for her YDA and ArtsEd but we do have family up north and had actually been thinking about moving back near family, so both The Hammond and Moorland could be options too. I was wondering if anyone has any feedback on both schools and where do pupils go to afterwards. This is all very new to me and feeling quite overwhelmed by it all!

I haven’t seen a thread on Moorland so I thought I’d start one. My ds has auditioned for year 7 entry and earlier this evening I received an email offering him a place. I won’t be able to accept without financial help so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the bursary audition.

Hi to you all. I have to say Moorland School in Clitheroe Lancashire have a Lower and Upper School at their Moorland International Ballet Elite Programme. This is well worth putting on your audition list, it is also a very caring place to do your dance training and the teachers are so lovely and encourage each student to help them fulfil their full potential.. This is well worth putting on your audition list, I recommend it very highly xx. moorlandballet.co.uk Auditions are now running P.S Also do Associate Programmes. This School is of Fabulous and the training is of A Very High Standard.

Sorry for starting a new thread but I didn’t want to post in several and am interested in hearing about all vocational schools. What are the chances of being offered a vocational school place into Year 10? If you are not successful for scholarship funding (or are ineligible) can you still be offered a place if you can pay fees?

Hi everybody, My heart is so full it could burst I just wanted to tell you all, who have been so helpful and supportive over the 4 years I have been dancing, that on Valentine's Day I was offered a full-time place at Moorland Ballet Academy, which was my dream ballet school (although relatively unknown by many, as an associate I can testify that the teaching is AMAZING!) However, the fees are very expensive and my family just cannot afford it all Although we have been recommended for a bursary, does anybody have any ideas about fundraising or any organisations or grants that could help? My academic and dance schools have offered to help in any way they can which is amazing. But I'm sure you knowledgeable people will have suggestions! Love and best wishes (there is always hope!) S

Hi, Does anyone have any thoughts / experience on full time ballet training at Moorland school, it has some mentions on this forum but they do seem to be only about summer school courses or are a few years old. I know it’s a small school but can it train to the standard as Elmhurst or Tring ? Thanks

Hi all, All my ballet kit is sorted for my Moorland Associates programme from September, but also on the list it asks for Contemporary tights, Character/Spanish skirt and Character/Spanish shoes. I wondered whether any of you experienced, lovely people had any recommendations for brands, style and such like? How does sizing work? And for the shoes, is it best to have low or high heel? For ballet shoes I wear size 2, for outdoor shoes I wear 2.5 and for tap shoes I wear size 3, so what size would character shoes be? My parents would like to allow me as much growing room as possible as they cost quite a bit, but obviously buying too big would be uneconomical too. thank you in advance, Love ArucariaBallerina

I thought I had decided on which summer school to do, until a kind member suggested OPES! Wow. It looks great to do up to 3 weeks of ballet! In weeks the English school system can do! So, could anybody tell me what OPES is like? RBS is my first choice of course, but I thought I had decided on Moorland. Can anybody tell me what Moorland SS is like too? I feel like I'm going to end up doing a week at Ballet West, a week Moorland and a week OPES, but I doubt my parents would agree! Thank you!

DD is currently in year 8 but would love to audition for a year 10 place at a vocational schools though my husband and I aren't to sure whether this is a good idea yet. I seem to hear lots about the top vocational ballet schools in UK on this forum and less about others so I was wondering what other vocational schools are there in the UK that take from year 7? (Ballet only please)
