I dialled main school number, pressed 1 for reception and asked to be put through to Janet Starmer. Good luck!
-
Just seen on FB that a child who was at funding for Hammond and DD thought was a dead cert for MDS has been given a place at Elmhurst. So there might be another award up for grabs ...
-
I would email if you can't get through. It was discussed where DD was on the reserve list when I called, as I suppose if she had been VERY near the top, there would be no need to offer her a bursary right away, if that makes sense.

Year 7

If she's 19th out of 62, that's quite near the top, as I'm guessing numbers 1-14 have the awards? I hope she's ok xx
-
Well done to her! By my guestimation by what I was told where DD was on the list etc I think around 14. But please don't treat this as gospel!
-
Email them instead?
-
I know there were at least two children at Hammond funding last week waiting for Elmhurst results so that might cause movement too.
-
Thank you! Maybe we'll get to talk IRL xx
-
She is lovely isn't she? And so patient and calm talking to me when she must have about 10 people on call waiting!
-
I rang main number, pressed 1 for reception and asked for Janet Starmer. I called just before 9am. Fingers crossed you get through soon.

DD is on reserve for MDS at Hammond as expected. Just had a chat with the school and they told me where she was on the list. Am very proud as she's much higher up than I thought she'd be! They've offered us a bursary so she'll be there in September whatever happens. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Thank you so much, but we've found one now. Shame as that is beautiful!
-
Great attitude, and as you said, the negative points from their feedback are easily worked on. Roll on next year! X
-
Did the 50 include years 7-10 or just 7 and 8?

DD has been offered a place at Hammond for year 7 but I'm not expecting her to get a MDS award tbh. She is a lovely dancer and has no issues getting into things like LCB and EYB, but I've been given feedback that her size and strength is lacking compared to others, so am pinning our hopes on a bursary and have been saving like mad since before Christmas! Good luck to everyone waiting for Elmhurst results and all dc attending the funding audition at Hammond this week. May the funding fairies be kind to all xx
-
I’m sorry to hear that, hope she’s ok. Was it for year 8? If so, I imagine it’s tougher to get a place.
-
That's great news! Does anyone know roughly how many will be at the funding finals next week?
-
Good luck to your DD. How many were there yesterday? There was only about 20 children in my daughter's prelim in November.
-
Such an amazing achievement getting to finals in the first place, sorry to hear it was a no. Hugs to you both x

Need to get DD a new festival-worthy pancake tutu by early next month - she's a petite age 10. Can't afford a brand new one - so any leads on pre-loved ones or hire options would be much appreciated! Thanks!
-
Agree to go simple. DD did a festival ballet solo that she's been doing for the last 18 months or so in her audition and got offered a place. It's a very simple routine, and one that she's almost outgrown technique-wise, but it was one she could do very confidently and 'perform' as Pictures said, without worrying about some tricky step that she wasn't 100% on.

There were some lovely dancers there this evening! Congrats to your DS. It will be my DD’s second EYB and her friend’s first - they work them hard but they do have so much fun.
