I second @Billyelliot about contacting the school, offices are manned during school holidays. Do remember that in 6.3 the students live in private rentals so you have the rent plus bills.

http://www.elmhurstdance.co.uk/Funding-Lower-School Old table but bands didn’t change between 2010 and 2016. They do take into account all income including bank account interest, shares etc. At Elmhurst can use the public school payment plans to spread fees, imagine same at Hammond. Sorry the link doesn’t go through to the page I expected! If you click on Elmhurst from the government page about MDS it takes you to the contributions table.

And selfish too the other audience members and cast.

@LinMM my point was the teachers didn’t intervene and wouldn’t have spoken to us unless my son had made a point of speaking to one of them. They can’t have failed to hear him ask them to sit still during the second act, it’s a tiny theatre and the staff were on the row behind the pupils. My son is a young adult and got the attention of some of the audience himself at the end of the show for speaking up - some positive comments for doing what others felt unable to do. Edited to add there are more boxes in this theatre( Theatre Royal Bury St Ed’s) than others so if taking a group with pupils known to be disruptive why not book one and staff sit them?

We have a collection of petite and XS that needs sorting, hope to do so over weekend. Will pm you when done

We wondered if it was now a GCSE text as did seem an odd choice. Never seen the film but the play jumps from the 1930s to post war every few minutes so you did need to give it your full attention.

Why don’t school teachers sit among their pupils when they go on a theatre trip? Why do they see it as an opportunity to fail in their supervision duties? At a matinee performance of The Remains of the Day we had a group of teenagers sat behind us. During the first act we tolerated being kicked and their feet trying to tip our seats. Before the second act we asked them to refrain from the behaviour and during the act actually had to tell them to sit still. At the end of the show one of my party spoke to one of the teachers sitting on the row behind the pupils about the disruptive behaviour. Her initial reaction was they were a group of ADHD pupils so she thought they ‘did well’, followed by ‘hope they didn’t disrupt you’ and her final comment was ‘the performance was so good she couldn’t take her eyes off the stage’ - think her eyes might have been better used looking at her charges occasionally.

We can’t unless the parents or child personally lets you know.

Does the Government Gateway still exists? I thought disbanded although can use log in for some services. Not that I’m at all an tech expert but have found numerous times that if I’m having a problem with parts of a website it is because I’m using Safari, when change platforms it inevitably works.

My Dd and her peers auditioned at numerous Eastern Europe companies without success. One dancer from her cohort secured a month by month contract but that was through a contact not an open audition. The graduate year group prior to my Dds year seemed to have the same problems as her year. Prior to this we noticed most grads got their first contract in Eastern Europe. At some auditions Dd attended they were told there were no vacancies but the company had to hold auditions. Cynically Dd always believed that this was the case because the companies were partially funded by local government and having a few hundred dancers turn up in town for auditions was a huge boost for the local economy.

Totally agree with Sadielou, Moneypenny & Kat09. Exploitation is rife in the dance world especially for those looking for their first contracts. We knew auditioning would be difficult but I was shocked at how little support there was from school and the staff. No guidance on best places to audition for each individual dancer’s style and strength. Very little effort to get their graduates seen in the last few years of school. I’m relieved to now be out of the dance world. Dd amazed at how much support there is from college staff regarding choosing appropriate university and courses. But if one more person says ‘what a waste, all that hard work, time and money and you’ve given it all up’ ....

My children’s dance school also used to have long holidays Xmas, Easter and summer. At this age we just enjoyed the time to explore other activities and have fun together and catch up with friends and family. My Dd attended her first summer school (WL) age 10 and it wasn’t until she was at vocational school we looked at private lesson or other extra holiday courses. If your daughter remains serious about dancing it becomes such a huge part of their lives it is important to have times when they can look back on that are non dance related.

Daughter did Princess Grace SS few years ago and we holidayed in Nice.

Obviously not in London but Elmhurst use the on-site boarding houses for the summer school.

The lovely weather has certainly brought out the insects here too. We had a plague of harlequin ladybirds last year that had obviously hibernated and they are out in force so hoping a sudden cold spell might sort them out. The hedgehogs are really busy feeding but I’m hoping not breeding yet as won’t end well.

Have you tried contacting Paris Opera Ballet archives? They have a website

My Dd was chosen a few times from school to dance with the company, I think what she found most rewarding was being in class with the professionals and on the whole being treated as an equal, generally most dancers were friendly and encouraging regardless of rank. Post school as a member of a graduate scheme she was chosen to tour with the parent company. Lots of dance experience, treated very much as part of the company but no financial reward. Over night hotels were paid for but no food so over a period of time became very expensive as had to eat on the go constantly. We were having to pay for the graduate scheme too. As the placement drew to an end she was offered a place in the company ‘if she didn’t need paying’

Think the chicken vaccine is only active against two strains and there are numerous types of salmonella. The chicken vaccine requires 2 vaccines 4 weeks apart in the first year then a yearly booster. Humans are notorious in not getting complete courses of vaccines and as we’ve seen a huge drop in recorded cases of salmonella in the UK since chicken vaccination was introduced it will be seen as more effective than trying to roll out a human vaccination program.

Lovely to hear that you are healthy and happy @swanprincess

I have to agree. He could well have less pain today as resting, tomorrow when active at school could be a different story.

None unless the family and friends can convince their elderly person the time has come to give up driving. As a licence holder you are obliged to inform DVLA if you have certain medical conditions and for some conditions a GP has to assess ability. We have a distant relative who yearly gets passed by GP as safe to drive despite his dementia diagnosis, as for the duration of the appointment he manages to appear totally lucid. Worryingly he sometimes can’t find his way home on his daily walk never mind getting behind the wheel. I suspect HRH is also if the age were licences were a given right without a formal driving test.
