annaliesey Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 We got a no for dance course but a yes for theatre course without funding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busymum Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Well done to all the yes's! On the home stretch now as I think funding results come through quickly after the audition so not too much longer to wait. Annaliesey how does that work for you? Well done for a getting a yes on TA course. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annaliesey Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks Busymum .. She won't be doing theatre as can't afford it without some funding but it's a nice feeling for her to be offered bit of a surprise though as I honestly didn't think she would be considered for that (she's now telling me she NEEDS singing lessons!) But her heart is set on dance and I have to keep reminding us that our plan was first and foremost to use as the experience but it's easy to get carried away with the what if I think it's started to sink in that she doesn't have that kind of body shape too which is hard. So now we are concentrating on graded work, having fun with competitions and non syllabus and looking around for associate classes and CAT stuff. She's happy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancermum Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Lema, what time is your final? Ours is 11.15... Trying to work out how many they have for finals and what the odds are for funding!!! I am assuming as we are year 10 entry that DD will be with older ones than year 7s?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Our audition (year 7) is at 9am. Well, we didn't get any detailed information about finals but the letter with preliminary results said that they will need to be at school ready for 9am start. Did anybody hear again from Tring after accepting a place at finals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busymum Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 No haven't heard anything else since sending the confirmation that we would attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happymum Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 So looks like older girls are in a different class. Does anybody know/asked how many MDS places do they have this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi Happymum I think in the past 2 years there were less than 10 each time. Harwel will know better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutugirl Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think there were 5 or 6 the year before last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harwel Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Last year there were 9, the year before, I was told there were 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miracle Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Some current students transfer into upper school with MDS so less to give to lower school. 3 years ago my DD did the lower school funding final. From Yr7 to Yr11 girls & boys total of 55 children (43 girls.8 boys)at Finals for 8 MDS places! X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccolo Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Well fingers crossed that the DC's with multiple offers will choose Royal or Elmhurst, and that nobody gets assessed out of Royal, as I've heard there can be a bit of movement between the schools. Whether it is Dd's 'time' (as she puts it) or not, the main thing is that her love of dance continues, unaffected by the decision makers. Happymum, I was told there would be no further correspondence from Tring after the prelim results letter. There is apparently going to be an email with a change of time to Dd's (yr 8) audition from 9am to 11.15am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancermum Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Piccolo, like your thinking!! Lets hope a bunch of year 11's on MDS awards leave for elsewhere to free up a few more!! Not loving the odds at the moment... :-) Having been told at audition that there wouldn't be funding for year 10 entry except in exceptional circumstances, am just relieved to be in with a chance... although know of at least 3 through for year 10, so maybe that was a bit of a bluff!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lildancer96 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 There are also those leaving 6:3 that have carried their mds through to upper school 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi4ballet Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Last year there were 9, the year before, I was told there were 3. Yes, that's what we were told when we asked. The majority of current students going into 6th-form would have generally switched to DaDa funding, but when the finance thresholds changed more of them stayed with the MDS they already had, which is why there were so few MDS places available the year-before-last.
