Anna C Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 It was a yes for my dd; she tried a few years ago and got a no. If it helps, the envelope was A5 brown but felt thicker than one sheet because there were 3 other pieces of paper in with it. Big hugs to the "no" letters but don't despair. Happymoocow, are there any extra Ballet classes your dd could take at her local school? Sounds like she's very talented at Jazz. :-) 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletmum20 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi lemongirl, yes there were 4 forms in the envelope, and a brown envelope, if that helps x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemongirl Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Well that's a no for us then :-( Spanner - well done to your dd and to everyone else who got a yes. Maybe we will cut our losses and try Tring's associate scheme instead.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna C Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thank you both! She's very pleased. :-) Lemongirl, big hugs to your dd. Might it be worth asking for some detailed feedback? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulabelle Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Well done to the yes's! Commiserations to the no's, keep trying, I know a couple of people who have had no's then have got a place the next time round. The standard is very high at the Classical Academy and places are very few and far between. Demand is high and many of the girls (and boys) are also on other Associate programmes, to get a place is a big achievement. Spanner, what group will your daughter be in?

Lemongirl Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thanks. Dds not too disappointed, she's v pragmatic and knew the chances were low. Will consider the Sat associates scheme for next year, I'm presuming its much easier to get into? The advantage is also that she can try tap which she's been wanting to do for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested Parent Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Spare a thought for all those DC at Tring CBA today having their assessments; a few nerves rattling around today. I wish them all the best of luck xx 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulabelle Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Anyone know when we get the results of the assessments? Getting a bit twitchy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Have you had classes since the assessment, Loulabelle? If not, perhaps they'll give you the results at the next class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulabelle Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 No not had classes since assessments and not quite sure of the format as DD joined the CBA half way through the summer term last year thus missing assessments. You may be right though, could be at next class which unfortunately clashes with All England regionals for my DD, so we could be in for a long wait!

Anna C Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Perhaps you could email Mrs Schon if it turns out that results are given out in class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulabelle Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yes I will probably do that if it turns out that DD's friends have their results at that session. I'm just getting impatient???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing2003 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hi My dd started in Jan so I was also wondering when we would hear about the assessments hopefully they won't keep then waiting to long x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interested Parent Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Last year we got them at the next session but it may be different this year as we had a different dance director and Mary may do it differently. I would ring today as the main school will be on half-term next week x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliKat Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hello Interested parent. Could you possibly tell us in what format the appraisal result was? Was it a brief letter or maybe some sort of report setting out strengths/weaknesses and areas to improve? We are new to all of this too and curious to know what to expect. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interested Parent Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Of course AliKat. It was set out in a table with categories such as Allegro, Adage so each part of a structured ballet class plus a Flexibility category and then a Rating for each Category such as Excellent, Very Good, Needs Improvement etc with ticks in the relevant boxes. Plus I think there was a comments section at the end from the Director of CBA. I'm afraid this is all from memory and as said earlier may not be the same this year now that Mary has taken over.
