Hi Lilac, Two of the girls starting in September will be year 10, and the other is on waiting list and will be year 11 - really glad your daughter loves it there, I did too :-) Hope this helps :-)

Hi Spannerandpony, Three got into Prep 1, two got into pre-senior and one got waiting list for pre-senior and one hasn't had her letter yet. They've all done really well and really pleased for them - I did preps there and it was fab I did RBS SA's after that which I also loved :-) Fingers crossed for all of those waiting, I hope it's good news :-) BallerinaX

Well done to those from my local school who got places :-)

It must be really hard to judge these competitions, but hats off to the little one who won it :-)

I heard the junior section was won overall by a 7 year old who was judged amongst the older ones so they obviously realise that an older child may (or not) appear more accomplished :-)

Just wondered if anyone is auditioning in Hertford on the 21st April?

Hi Fiz, Don't know which of the directors you are talking about but I know that classes at one of their schools finish for Easter tomorrow - just thought that I would mention it

Just wanted to say well done to everyone who performed with TCYB this weekend We all had a fantastic time and Lemongirl I hope your DD enjoyed her time with the company

That's really excellent . Just thought I would add that my local school have just got 3 into White Lodge

Thats really great that your DD will be doing TCYB - she will have a great time and learn loads

Lemongirl, I'm really sorry I've just realized you had asked me a question and I didn't reply to your post! I went off to register for summer school on 22nd July and didn't really look at the forum whilst I was there so hadn't realized you had asked me something. Just looked at this now as it had obviously moved down a few pages. Theres no harm in asking if they can give your contact to anyone else from the same area and then maybe you will be able to work something out. Is your DD going to do this coming season? If she is then you will meet the other parents and then maybe find out who is coming from your direction

Swanprincess, there were lots of international students and they wouldnt have followed UK syllabus, grades and exams. The places are offered on photographs

Lemongirl, there are a couple of pubs in Watton, one is nearly opposite the hall, serves coffee and is really nice - really good food too There is a shop almost next to the pub and a post office (theres a hairdressers if you want some time out, hehehe) but its a really nice village and Hertford is only 10 minutes away which has lots of nice restaurants

I agree with you Drdance, there isn't anywhere to hide with vocationals. I got 77 for Intermediate and 95 for grade 7 - can I say that on here? Which I think shows the huge difference!

Julie 2 Milner, without a doubt the vocationals are way harder on the marking. I got 18 marks more for grade 7 than I did for Intermediate, which is a lot of marks. I felt much more stressed doing intermediate than grade 7, I think because we had to go to the RAD at Battersea for the exam and we also had to do the 5 weeks of Sundays up there - our teacher insisted
