    So based on (unconfirmed and maths not my greatest subject) is this a fair comment?

     

    In the girls if there are approx 18 students and from that about 4-5 have made it to Upper School that's about a 27% chance of making the cut. From these 4-5 I think only 2 have been there since Y7 which makes only 11% chance of your DC making the cut.

     

    I wonder how this compares to the other schools which have Upper Schools?

    If you are a new parent entering y7 with this information would you still send you DC to this school knowing the limited progression rate or would you opt for a school that you know your DC would have a better chance of going through the school years? 

     

    Our DD will be off to WL in September and we’re behind her the whole way! As a family, we’ve discussed the pros and cons of each school and absolutely, some feel like a much “safer” option where she’d nearly certainly avoid the heartbreak of being assessed out. However, she has her heart set on it and I don’t blame her! She probably doesn’t fully comprehend the gravity of what is ahead at the ripe old age of 10, but we’ve come to the conclusion that to stop her because we’re scared of the possibility of rejection would be a self fulfilling prophecy. 

    I’m certain that the worry will be constant for us at home but we’re going to have a crack at keeping that to ourselves and being as positive as possible for DDs sake!

  2. I have 2 Claudia Dean leotards to sell. Very recently purchased for my dd’s auditions but they are too snug. The white one has been worn for 1 class but is in immaculate condition and the black one has never been worn. Beautiful quality and cut,  lovely high leg and low back. Details below.

    With import tax and postage they cost over £50 each. 

     

    Looking for £40 each. 

  3. That is extremely reassuring! Thank you so much for you replies. DD is really looking forward to it and is feeling totally confident now that she knows can get help with her bun! 

    I think I'll get the suitcase out and start packing now! x

  4. My 8 year old dd is about to venture off for 10 days with NYB and having tried and tried to teach her to do her own bun, we're not having much success! She might make it through the pliés but it ain't gonna hold up beyond that!! 

    Can someone who's done NYB before please Tell me if there will be someone there to help them with their hair? I can't imagine one house mistress doing 20 buns every morning!!
