Pointytoes 41 Posted February 18 Last year there were two groups indeed of year 7 girls on rotation throughout the day but there was definitely not more than 35 to forty girls in attendance. Some had dropped out. I cannot comment on the boys sorry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xx Good luck everyone, xx This was for RBS as far as I recall as that was what the thread was referring to at the time. She has recently told me that she in aware that a number from Years 7, 8 and 9 have unfortunately been unsuccessful in this year's assessments. Sad times for a number of families. Hoping that places can be found at other schools for those who wish to continue with vocation training. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is heartbreaking to hear, as those poor children are not only about to move schools but essentially home as well and needing to make new friendships at their new school. It does beg the question about whether RBS is run as a school or a business? Surely it is a failure on their part if children do not pass their assessment. Should they not perseverie and put everything into the training for those children. As we all know children are an unknown entity as they grow and change, at least give them a chance to prove themselves. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yr 7 White Lodge do an assessment but are not ‘assessed out’. No yr 7’s were assessed out this year as in previous years. There may be occasional pupils who leave in Yr 7 due to unforeseen circumstances but it is not to do with assessments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to ask about that as I'm sure that I read a couple of years ago following an inspection/re-evaluation of how things were done, that Year 7's were no longer going to be assessed out and I am glad to find that is still the case.

Pointetoes 401 Posted March 4 There are 4 from year 8 and 5 from year 9 assessed out this year. They have not necessarily been assessed out because of their talent some of them it is for other reasons. Some of the yr 8s have been offered MA places and as far as I know they all have auditions arranged for other vocational schools. It has been a tough time for both year groups.

Peanut68 785 Posted March 4 May I tactfully suggest it inappropriate to post what could be hearsay re: assessed out children. If indeed any have then this must be a sensitive & stressful time to be handled with love & care & not subject to gossip by any of us on here.... yes, may be the news to give hope to any with finals for these year groups but please can we all imagine if it were us in that position? Would we want to read about it on here? Wishing love & luck to all DC’s and their families; whatever twists & turns they encounter on their journies, they can gain from every experience & only become stronger individuals going forward in life xx 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The amount of children reported is incorrect in any case . It is still very early days for both the children and families affected . Whether they’re moving on or not already is irrespective. They should be allowed to do so in private without speculation , they’re real people children at that not just a number or a statistic . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AuditionIngenu 68 Posted March 6 Can I ask if anyone has heard about 'special invites' to White Lodge finals from 'MA only' auditions? Are these common? I am a total newbie to this audition culture. Thanks all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aklf 129 Posted March 6 Hi auditioningenu, sometimes children who didn’t actually tick the box for white lodge but are auditioning for Mas are invited to final audition anyway if they are identified as having the potential to become a full time student. Hope that makes sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Jan. I look forward to being part of the forum. I have a young DD off to WL tomorrow. A dream come true for her to even set foot in the school so as long as she enjoys it that's as much as I can hope for. Hoping all the other finalists enjoy it too. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As an aside I should maybe change my user name - nearly three years as the mum of a new dancer we are no longer newbies. I am still very much in the dark but this forum has been such a reassurance for me on so many issues. All the best for those on the audition rounds this year for lower and upper schools. It is lovely to hear of the successes of her new friends and others here on the forum. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newdancermum 128 Posted March 12 I have heard that Year 7 WL offers for girls are out and also those continuing mid associates have been told about their places. Mids offers can’t be far behind although it has been into April some years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
