Auditions are live on the website now, inviting all yrs7-11 to apply for audition on 13th June. Invite based on photos.

 

So if they are inviting yr11's that would indicate they are willing to look at students for US too?

Totally confused! My DD has accepted her place for Sept 17, why is there another audition?

Someone said they seem to still have awards available and it's a case of if not used, they get granted a smaller pot next year which could be disastrous on a number of levels I guess. I also know there may be spaces for Y9 for example as there's always flux in the year groups for any number of reasons. So don't panic, they're not taking away places already offered and accepted.

My friend was advised they still had a number of MDS awards to give out. I know one of the girls from my DD JA made it to finals and was originally told no but then contacted last week with an offer of a place for yr 7.

Was she on the reserve lis or just a no? You wouldn't be expecting that call would you if so? 

 

It is interesting they seem to have more MDS still to give out. Last year it was very different. I wonder why?

That's brilliant. Good luck! My dd will be fine she's got recall next week for CAT scheme so shes got lots to keep her busy. Plus I get to keep her at home another year. Hopefully you won't wait too long for results

Doesn't seem to be many people commenting on this. I wonder if not many applied? It was an unusual thing to happen so maybe people didn't know about it.  Hopefully it will be a lovely day and she won't be too upset when the inevitable disappointment comes!

Elmhurst don't hold places for particular year groups so although there will be children leaving from y9, those spaces won't automatically go to potential y9s. The boarding is flexible so they give the spaces to whoever it is they want in any year group.

Farawaydancer I am well aware of that which is why I said "potentially"!! We all know there are never any guarantees but having been the other side last year, I would have found it comforting to know whether there was bed space to make the audition worthwhile. I now know there were potential bed spaces for Y8 girls last year but none were awarded following the March finals. My DD got her offer in Sept after summer school etc, completely out of the blue.

My daughter also attended today and there was 23 in total invited from over 100 who applied apparently across all year groups . Only 1 boy from what I could see . No idea how many places available but suspect not many . Results within a week ! Not holding out much hope but she absolutely loved it there so will deffo apply again next year . Good luck to everyone that was there ?
