My DS auditioned at Tring Park for the Dance course on 15th Oct, and it took roughly around 4 weeks for the letter to come through. He also auditioned for Theatre Arts course on 10th Jan, and we got told by the Principal, it could take more than 4 weeks as they wanted to finish all the auditions first, before they made their decisions.
I think with Hammond, everyone that is offered a place, needs to send a cheque off for £60, to enable you to get the funding audition date back. We havent had to do that with RBS or Tring Park. I wonder how many actually get that letter. Sounds like they are on a good thing! Have received an email from them asking why they havent had a reply from us, but still gave us the date and time to attend. So hold out people, dont be too quick to send your cheques off! x
