  1. Saw this performance last night. How wonderful to see the students back on stage again at this great venue after so long.

    A side note- The seating layout has changed for this year. Rows A to C are all

    on same ground level below stage which is brilliant for step free access but not so great for sight lines. Luckily I found a spare seat for the 2nd act!

    Apologies if this is a simply answered question or has been answered before but why do international

    students only end up joining the school later in the school in higher years and not in year 7? Is it only in the uk that vocational full time training starts then that requires students to leave home or is it just as simple as it being that international students don’t apply until later stages for some reason?

    I think this may occur for a variety of reasons- certainly children being a little older and more mature to move away from home to board could be one. It certainly does happen but is rarer for a 10/11 year old to be willing to live far from home.

    Also the funding is difficult because I believe  you have to be a U.K. resident for 2 years before MDS can be applied so perhaps that’s another? 2 years of funding if joining at yr 10 may be more possible than the full 5? 
    Also if you join at yr 10 perhaps it seems there would be a greater chance of progressing through to the upper school? 
    Not too sure but those are just some

    possibilities.

  3. What a wonderful idea to bring together these 6 schools for that first time in support of Ukraine. A really superb evening. Lovely to see so much talent up there on stage and also to hear the very moving and articulate speeches from 2 Ukrainian students who are now able to continue their studies safely at ENB. 
    I am sure that the students felt very proud to represent their schools and what a fabulous opportunity for them to perform at Sadlers Wells after so much time away from the stage throughout covid. Bravo to all involved!
