    Welcome to the forum Elia, OPES is a first come first served summer school & the only photo required on the application is a passport photo. My dd is doing it this year for the first & we got a confirmation email about a week after we sent the form off

    Waiting list for dd again this year
  3. TooTu
    Nothing here yet either

    Congratulations to your dd Hopeful. I'm sure this is the start of a very exciting journey for her

    The brands dd likes are silky, tendu & her current favourite are gaynor mindens, all convertible

    Huge congratulations to your dd. What an inspirational story

    Soo sorry to hear of all the no's & thinking about those dd's & their parents. Remember what a huge achievement it was for all of them making the finals & how proud they should all be of themselves. I'm a great believer in when one door closes another door opens & a bend in the road is definitely not the end of the road for any of them.

    Congratulations to you ds MummysBoy

    What amazing news!!! Well done to your ds & good luck with the exciting journey ahead. Thinking of all of those that are still awaiting emails

    RBS has just posted on Facebook that all white lodge summer school results will be sent on Friday

    You're right!! We live nowhere near Birmingham but always manage to tie in a trip with something else!!! It was BRB & a bit of shopping last time!
  12. TooTu
    I would recommend Dancique in Birmingham too. Even if you aren't local it's definitely worth travelling to as they stock lots of different makes & spend as much time as it takes to find the right shoe. After experiencing a fitting with little choice for dd's first pointe shoe fitting I would definitely recommend going somewhere with lots of choice & an experienced fitter. Helene in Dancique fitted dd & was wonderful

    Loulabelle, do you still have the 2a in carnation?
  14. TooTu
    I think you are probably right Balletmummy55. I definitely don't envy the admin with so much to get out in the same week
  15. TooTu
    We are the same. Not holding out much hope but just want to know. I read on here that we would hear this week though haven't seen a specific day mentioned.
  16. TooTu
    No email here yet either

    Some summer schools ask for the children to be working at or above a certain level to apply while others don't but ask what their most recent exam passed is or what grade they are currently in presumably to know what group to put them in at the summer school
  18. TooTu
    Yes that sounds about right to me. Some schools seem to do the graded exams alongside vocational exams while others like dd's school do either or after grade 4

    My dd is 11 (year 6) & started intermediate foundation in September.

    They asked on the form what their last exam passed was, current level of study, hours of ballet per week, hours of other dance per week though I have no idea how much any of this is taken into account when selecting.
  21. TooTu
    Just checked & last year we received the results via email on 31st March

    I think you'll be fine positioning your dd. Dd's teacher is just the type of teacher that likes to oversee these things. Would taking a few shots of each pose & sending them to your dd's teacher to chose the best be an option for you?
  23. TooTu
    I would stick to a simple not too fussy leotard. I took the photos myself but dd's teacher positioned her & I just took them on a mobile phone & printed them off in a photo kiosk to post off with the application form. Also don't forget about the passport photo because I very nearly forgot to put it in this year. OPES is a full week in comparison to Elmhursts 3 days which would account for the difference in price. DD is doing OPES this year for the first & really looking forward to it too.
  24. TooTu
    Both last year & this we done dd's photos bare legs & feet.
  25. TooTu
    Thankfully not too much longer to wait then. DD was on waiting list last year so not getting our hopes up but will be nice to know either way so we can move on
