Absolutely this. I have one DC already boarding and another about to go. We live far too far from either school for them to be day pupils but this is what I would have chosen had we lived nearer.
-
They usually have a ‘reserve pool’ not strictly a list. If places become available they meet up and discuss who to give the places to. They said in the last that it depends on things like beds and class numbers too which is why it’s not a strict list.

My dd attends at Hull and both dc have attended ballet boost holiday courses in London, and will do so again this summer. Always had excellent teaching and good advice from @Emma northmore
-
Ballet Boost at Hull is excellent, I would thoroughly recommend it.
-
Where did you order from? DS is desperate for some dancewear that isn’t black, navy or grey!
-
The numbers on the lists and considered for places are accurate.

Musical Theatre Schools with a strong ballet focus?
Farawaydancer replied to Ballet4Boyz's topic in Doing Dance
This is incorrect. Student finance is dependent on the course studied not the age of the student.- 59 replies

Associates on Sundays (and multiple applications)?
Farawaydancer replied to dancemum72's topic in Doing Dance
Whilst I agree with the value for money aspect of this, sometimes the point of going to an associates scheme (a good one) is that the child gets to experience a different type of teaching/style/technique. Knowing that different teachers do things in their own way and that they need to adapt their dancing accordingly, makes auditions etc so much less daunting for them as they get older. -
There were 52 on the ‘list’ and 59 considered for MDS so I came to the conclusion that there were 7 awards to be given this year. This fits with what we know about the current y11 too. No idea how many applied in total though.
-
I take my daughter to the cinema screenings as often as I can and she lowers the average age of the attendees by about 40 years. Also the timing isn’t ideal for children, we’re often running in at the last minute after her own ballet class and then she’s falling asleep by the time the final act is wrapping up!
-
My dd was awarded this one I think, got a phone call on Thursday afternoon - or maybe that was a different one and someone else is going to have a lovely phone call too.
-
From the parents of the children I know who attend, they’re doing brilliantly and really love it.
-
Thank you. I’m hoping this is what will happen!
-
Other schools might be more organised and get the new parents figures out to them sooner, I jut know that we’ve always had our letters back quite late. It is all income but since I don’t have any capital etc I don’t remember whether they take that into account. I don’t think so though. It is every bit of income though. No allowances for money paid into pension schemes etc.
-
Yes, it’s total household income before anything at all is taken off, it’s not taxable income that they work from.
-
I’ve been trying to find out this information from all the schools but none of them will give me a straight answer so I’m hoping someone on here has been in the same position! If you have two dc at different schools both with mds is there some sort of deduction so that you don’t pay the equivalent of two full mds contributions? If they were both at the same school I’ve been told there is a reduction but no one seemed to be able to tell me what would happen if they were at different schools. At the moment the query is redundant because we’re waiting on reserve list places but would still be nice to know.
-
I think it’s about 1900-2000 deduction for each child that’s not on the mds, so something but not a lot!
-
It will probably be quite a while before the MDS forms are out, some years it’s been June before they’re sent out and August before we’ve had confirmation of our contribution. However there is a scale somewhere online to give you a rough idea. Remember it’s based on total household income before tax and there’s very little that they deduct for anything.
-
I think it would have been noticed and commented on before now if there were serious turnout restrictions which were limiting her movement. Seeing the physio and doing rehab classes to work on specific things ‘lost’ during injury is usually done, maybe she just needs it for longer? You’ve done the right thing by querying it with the AD though.

In recent years they’ve said that everyone eligible has had funding.

There is no YD Intensive this year. This coming Saturday is the last class of term.
-
We’ve found the same problem with the SD16 but can’t find any more hardwearing ones that they love as much.
-
Mistakes wont make any difference to the outcome, they’re looking for potential, not a polished performance.

I know current Tring students who do RBS, MAs and SAs.
