My dd's ages 13 & 9 are attending wk1.

Thanks Pictures, do you source anything else yourself rather than from Stardust?
-
Hi everyone, before I go ahead and order all uniform (dance and academic) from the suppliers, could you tell me which items I could source for myself elsewhere at a cheaper price? ie are m&s school shirts suitable and cheaper than the supplier, and is the grey skirt a specific style?

Another yr9 girl here in need of everything! DD is in small adult sizes 6/8, bust 32, waist 25, hips 34. Thank you
-
Oh and welcome to the forum BalletAims. x
-
Thanks for all the tips guys, we have just sorted the paperwork to accept our bursary and sent it this morning so we won't get all school info just yet as it's half term , could someone possibly send me the uniform list needed for yr9 so I can get organised please.
-
Can I ask, is there an opportunity to purchase uniform on the induction day?
-
Thanks for the info, our dd would be starting in yr9(still deciding whether to accept bursary and live like paupers!) so that will be a challenge in itself as friendship groups will already be formed and dd is a quiet child until she knows people well. Has anyone else's dc started in yr9?
-
You say phones are handed in on an evening, but do the children have enough opportunities to ring home when they want before then. I know when my dd goes to summer schools just being able to hear my voice gives her reassurance although I wwould be very happy for her to get over that!
-
Can I ask, on the first day back of each term/half term are they expected back that morning or do they go back to the bh the evening before ready to start the next morning?
-
We have been offered a 50% bursary, just need to decide if we can realistically afford the rest of the fees with the help from grandparents! and whether it's actually worth accepting and giving up dd's excellent local school and 2 associate programmes she attends?? I hate making life changing decisions!
-
Not heard anything at all here, not even a call back as I was told they would.
-
Not had a call back here either.
-
I rang the school but waiting for a call back, that will be next week now I presume.
-
It's the reserve list for my dd too, she is devastated but we are trying to reinforce how well she has done.
-
And have all 60 paid the registration fee which was rather a lot if I remember correctly?
-
Merry Christmas everyone xx
-
No nothing from RBS here yet either.

Hi balletqueen, my dd auditioned today and had a great time. I asked about funding and was told the finals are to decide who they want to offer places to, but it would be good to hear what's in the letter of those who have received theirs.
-
Anybody heard back from Royal with audition details yet?
-
Anyone see I'm a Celebrity last night?

Thank you for the replies, it makes more sense now. My dd is applying for year 9 and wanted to know how much pointe they do as she currently has a 45 minute pointe class at her school which she loves doing as she loves classical work over modern/jazz dance.

My dd was at Hammond yesterday too and had a great day, she doesn't seem bothered about the bus to the school or the condition of the boarding house, as I was thinking "this place needs a lick of paint and is a bit run down" DD was saying "it looks cosy here and I like it!" . I did get a little confused about funding as it was mentioned that only up to 50% funding can be offered? Also when I asked about the number of hours of dance they do and specifically pointe the women told me she didn't know about the timetable? Can anyone give me an idea of hours please and how much of each dance style they do?
