There’s no one actually at school so emailing will be the best way to get hold of anyone.
-
RCS offer landed in our inbox this morning, fingers crossed for everyone.
-
It’s not quite as simple as that because each school has a waiting list. So although the initial offers have been made and accepted/rejected, this then triggers another round of offers and handing back of places accepted elsewhere. It really isn’t usually clear until the end of April.
-
I know a y7 who’s been given a place from the waiting list so there is some movement. There’ll be more yet I’m sure.
-
They’ll take it off when they do the calculation, but it’s per additional child. Not the one you’re applying for.
-
It’s the same, approx £2k.
-
So has anyone given a thought to accommodation?! 😬
-
Excellent news!
-
A yes for ds too. Hope everyone hears good news soon.
-
We haven’t had ours yet either.
-
So it does! Thank you. I imagine they have quite a few. Tricky waiting when we have to let other places know whether we’re accepting their offer though!
-
Is everyone else still waiting to hear from Central or is my email playing up again and performing random filters?!
-
DS has a place at his school for upper school, after nearly being assessed out a couple of years ago, so we’re taking that as quite an achievement!
-
Fantastic!! Enjoy your good news 😊
-
Hi, is this sold now?
-
As regards the reserve list, they rank all the children asked to funding finals in order, and then offer down the list as MDSs become available. Last year, if you asked, they told you whether you were very near the top (ie more likely to be awarded one) or further down the list, so that you could begin looking at other options. Places do become available every year because some lucky children get more than one offer and there’s a lot of shuffling on lists once all the schools have made their offers.
-
Current students were told if they have an upper school place on Friday. I don’t think you’ll have too much longer to wait. Fingers crossed for everyone.
-
My dd got no for royal and no for mids but a yes for y7 at Elmhurst five years ago. He’s by no means the the only one either, so it’s definitely possible. They really do seem to look for different attributes.
-
I hope they’re deciding today, I’m going to email and check tomorrow if we don’t hear anything. RCS are going to ask for video auditions I think. However there are going to be lots of kids who just can’t do that because they don’t have access to the facilities to record. It’s all a worry, certainly, but at least everyone is in the same position.
-
Nothing at all either way!
-
Similarly, we’ve had no issues accessing physio whenever it has been needed at Elmhurst.
-
As yet everything is still planned to go ahead as usual at Elmhurst. We had an email from school earlier this week saying that normal school activities were all carrying on as normal, I imagine the same is happening with the auditions.
-
Thank you.
-
Can you remember how many boys approx? It was hard to get a feel for the men/women split.
-
Thank you for finding out.
