I had a huge bag of used shoes which my daughter had finished with....but they have gone to the great ballet shoe depository in the sky....if/when we get any more shall I send them???

The 'elsewhere' proved to be a nightmare.....which is another story.

taxi4ballet: Yes. At 16 young people need a greater level of pastoral care and as you say the places in my experience which offer a degree do not seem to take this into account. I was appalled on the audition circuit when my dd who would only just have turned 16 was expected to be as mature and accountable as an 18/19 year old...coming from a small town and going to a large city, I was not happy when the principal of one school said that they took no responsibility for the pastoral care of their students once off the school property. The school had no dedicated accommodation or facilities other than beautiful studios. She went elsewhere

I agree with Canary. Be very careful and get a solicitor to check the contract. Do NOT be rushed into signing something without careful scrutiny first and tell your child that they can and MUST report to you or a trusted adult any bullying or abuse whether physical or emotional. Enough is enough

DanceScienceandMedicineDOC and KS are great ambassadors for strength and conditioning.

Thank you Ilsa for all you have done

Well......the issue that we had was indeed the quality of the upper school but it was also about safeguarding

Also, I understood that you can put opinion on social media without it being used in court...or am I just being naive????

I am not an expert in any way but I would think there is a difference between people using social media to harm other people's reputations or business and parents sharing information with other parents to prevent children from coming to harm...isn't there? As a parent I would want to know.

My dd was on an HNC/HND course which had no funding. I am not at liberty to mention which school.

My dd has attended several times. Please feel free to pm me if you want information

We get this a lot...no matter what we say,they still don't seem to 'get it'. It drives dd nuts.
