I thought this topic was about open days ???, however I would like to say that I went to Bush Davies many years ago. The boarding accommodation was archaic to say the least. We had to do all our own laundry from the age of 11, had no weekend activities laid on and the house mistress/matron was unkind, unfriendly and unapproachable, however we formed friendships that are still going strong 25 years later. We bare no scars ( or very little) and the training ( which I'm sure is what you should all be most interested in ) was second to none - well perhaps second to RB !!! Many of us went on to have extremely successful careers and be fulfilled in life, so please don't let accommodation put you off. Children are extremely adaptable and its good for them to share their rooms and perhaps have less space than they are used to at home and don't forget they have a fantastic time together. Lets face it, if they are going to have a career in the ballet world they are going to be in worse places than these at the beginning !!!
