    Good luck to all those waiting. I know how hard it is! Watch out for attachments on the emails too......a good indicator of a yes. When dd was called to finals there was a form we had to return, and then also had attachments for our offer of place after finals 😉 Her yes email came through about 2.30pm 🤞

    Last year WL first round and then final results both came by email. Elmhurst first round came by post, and then finals was by email

    It is lovely! Even though she got to finals for WL, her fave school has hands down always been Elmhurst! We have always let her make the decisions about where she would like to be. And Ms Ward is a fab headteacher too!

    Good luck waiting! Once they do finals its usually a week on the Monday after the finals, that they get the results....past few years has been very end of March (last year was the 30th....also my bday.....a great present!!!). My DD is yr 7 and loves it and can't wait to find out who she will be a guardian angel too and write her letter 💗

    We got the finals results by email once the country was in lockdown, as opposed to the letter we got to invite her finals. The finals letter also had an extra sheet with it as need finance info from you, so will have an attachment I guess

    Yep I would say thats true.....for yr 7 alone there were 3 or 4 auditions a day for first round with about 25 in a class. There were 4 first round days in Birmingham with some in London too.....then about 60 girls in the final audition. There are 14 in dds yr 7 class this year.

    Don't worry about physio! My DD is in yr 7 and was offered a place without being able to have a physio appt as their final uditions were just another class. She didn't have a physio assessment until her second week there And whilst she was a JA we always thought the physio appt was pointless if we are honest and it made her very insecure about her legs.....when the physio has hold of your leg, then looks at your knee, then look back at you and say "don't worry about the shape of your knees, they will change over time".........erm, thanks for upsetting her!!!

    Please could you send me a picture of the Royal blue one?

    Yep the ones in BRB Nutcracker are students of Elmhurst too (yr 7 and 8, as well.as using the EBC for some of the other roles)

    We have just watched the stream this evening and loved it. Though sad at the silence from the theatre. But have booked tickets for Cinderella. My daughter particularly enjoyed it as she got to watch her classmates (yr 7 Elmhurst)

    It will be yes as that's what they did at the end of both rounds of auditions according to my dd.
  12. sunrise81
    It makes me sad reading all this about video auditions and your dcs are missing out on the full experience. My dd is in yr 7 and loving it!!! Good luck to all auditioning.

    Always an interesting post. My DD got to WL finals......the one thing that stands out from.that day is the principal saying "it is a chance for you and your parents to see if you like the school, but also a chance to see if you fit our image too" Mmmmm....... I'm glad she got in to Elmhurst!
  14. sunrise81
    Ah that's good then! Just be prepared for WL finals......2 days needed.....plus travel time.
  15. sunrise81
    My DD had 4.....probably the same 4! We ended up only applying at Elmhurst and RBS. Glad we did as I dont think work would have been too happy with twice as many days off!!!!
  16. sunrise81
    Definitely agree with this! My dd came out thr first day of WL finals and said to me "mummy, even if I got a place I dont think I want to come here!!!" It wasnt the right fit for her tbh.
  17. sunrise81
    My dd doesn't have particularly high arches and has to work really hard on her foot strength and flexibility so dont worry. We dont know what it was that RBS found fault with for WL as havent got the feedback despite her teacher contacting them on more than one occasion....mind you she isn't really bothered anymore 😂
  18. sunrise81
    Oh and she did a year on the Northern Ballet CAT. I honestly think this programme helped the most in terms of making ber physically stronger. Her RBS JA lessons helped prepare her for the auditions. It was just too much driving in to leeds several times a week for us as a family, so gone down the vocational school route.
  19. sunrise81
    My dd was a RBS JA for 3 years.....got to finals for WL and Elmhurst. Got a no for WL and a yes for Elmhurst! Just try and go to the open days if there are any. You will get a gut feeling which school is right for you......thankfully my dd got in to the one she wanted!!!
  20. sunrise81
    When my dd auditioned they had 2 days of auditions and about 4 groups a day......she was in the last group. I cant remember if they was for all years though. But a lot!!
  21. sunrise81
    Yeah I wear them you see, aswell as reusable pads. They get rinsed and put in a wet bag and then into the washer altogether.....but they also have to be washed with non bio and without conditioner. I just dont think the laundry dept would want a wet bag full of pads and pants, and take that much care of them.
  22. sunrise81
    You see I was wondering about pants for vocational school for my Dd......but then wondered how happy they would be about washing them. Anyone else's dd wear them at a school.awayfrom home? I have bought her a pack of Always to take with her.......only going to be yr 7 and hasnt started yet though.
  23. sunrise81
    At first I went.....£50!!! Then I looked in my email folder for RBS JAs and saw that 3 years ago I paid £45 😂 Tbh I do think it is a bit cheeky to ask for £50 given that it is video auditions and they have no overheads to pay for studio use etc for auditions. Mmmmmm.......

    My DD is starting Elmhurst in September and I showed her the video. She seems fine with the weighing taking place, and thinks it's cool to describe herself as an athlete. I think it's a good thing it is being addressed so publicly.
  25. sunrise81
    Exactly my thoughts too!!!
