    Friday 19th at 3.45...feel a bit sick!! A friend from the same centre on a different date so goodness knows how they have grouped them....

    Definitely. What a lovely opportunity to dance in white Lodge. Our expectations are low so we are just going to enjoy the experience and make memories!! X

    Hi dancer mom. My daughter was swl and was fortunate to get a place off the list, however we were told that very very few places were given to year 6 because of covid and limits on numbers. They said there were a lot of talented children who unfortunately they couldn't offer a place. It is quite possible in a different year she would have got in so I would stay positive. A swl means they are good enough and they wanted you but didn't have the places. A very encouraging sign xxx

    Yes I noticed the clash...I emailed elmhurst and asked if we could be considered for the 16th or 18th...potentially she could have finals 3 days in a row! 17th hammond 18th elmhurst 19th royal...just wish we knew precise dates so we can start booking hotels

    Yes they're not very accurate but a lot cheaper and I don't think they wanted to tell us to get PCR due to the cost, however many of us can't find lateral flow so still having to pay for pcr or more expensive tests....its not ideal...I think you're allowed to travel for education purposes x

    Hi everyone thought I would start a thread as I don't think we have one for Hammond this year...just wondered if anyone has heard from Hammond recently about the finals? They said to keep an eye out for emails. I don't want to book a hotel until I know the date they have given me is definitely correct? I lost money booking a hotel for preliminaries just before they cancelled them so don't want to make the same mistake x

    I know feels like an impossible task! She might not get in anywhere anyway in which case decision would be made for us...🤣

    I know for elmhurst and royal we have been told we can't as parents enter the buildings, which i totally understand given the circumstances...however it is going to be very difficult to make a decision on whether to send a child to board if we haven't seen the school? Virtual tours aren't really the same and you don't get a feel for the school...my daughter hasn't even been away from school as all residential trips for ballet and school were cancelled...I'm just not sure how to make the decision if she does get in anywhere if I haven't even visited the school and she hasn't even tried a trip away?! Stupid covid! X

    Hooray!!!!

    I was on the waiting list for boarding but had a day place (non funded) but gave up my place as can only afford with funding...I think unfunded places decided on first video, funded places decided on final funding auditions?

    Aw that's fab..glad you're not back to square 1! Nightmare x

    Hi guys. This was the response I got...not sure if it helps. X

    Hi lovely. I had a response from royal ballet by email saying you couldn't do a home test...maybe email them and ask if yours is OK. I sent them a link for an mhra approved one and the bupa one but they told me I would have to book an appointment somewhere x

    I looked into this last year for my daughter who would have been 9 but it was cancelled due to covid. It did look really lovely...and they were really nice when I contacted them via email and it did seem like a very nurturing environment x
  15. Raquelle
    Yes ours was the independent GP I think who have clinics in Cardiff Newport and Swansea...there are loads of lateral flow tests you can use at home but RBS won't allow unfortunately! Tried BUPA too but couldn't only find a home test. Xxx
  16. Raquelle
    Yeah nothing really just ticked the box....took me forever to find the link too!
  17. Raquelle
    Aw that's nice! We are new this year and I must admit it freaked me out a bit as I wasn't expecting it...she did say it wasn't to do with the auditions but she was asking questions about it so I wasn't sure! X
  18. Raquelle
    We had a phone call after Christmas from The JA teacher asking about my DD and about whether we would apply and what her personality was like, how much dancing she did etc....other year 6 had the same phone call so I presume they provide some further information perhaps? X

    Just wondered if anyone has been sent dates for elmhursf finals yet? I emailed to accept a place in finals but had no confirmation...x
  20. Raquelle
    Aw I am so sad to hear about all these teachers and I am so sorry Reggi what an impossible situation....if it were me I would chose the associate class especially if considering vocational school there...I suppose you could say that you booked and paid for the associate classes before the class change?...difficult!
  21. Raquelle
    Just to clarify as well it doesn't have to be a lateral flow test. Rbs apparently suggested this as cheaper than other tests. They will accept pcr and rapid antigen but obvious these are more expensive...another question but are hotels going to be open? I'm concerned we will have nowhere to stay and it is too far to drive there and back in a day...I have friends in London but I don't think I can ask to stay there in a pandemic...its all so difficult x
  22. Raquelle
    For any students near South Wales this company will test children using rapid antigen. £85. https://www.theindependentgeneralpractice.co.uk/private/tests/covid-19.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAvbiBBhD-ARIsAGM48bw-cNFCOvzxIJglc5ZZ0jYjwQEvlcwHPEVN59zMxL0cI9E6EvAVVTkaAtzkEALw_wcB I don't feel like I can ring the local secondary school and ask them to test someone who doesn't attend their school...x
  23. Raquelle
    I've been emailing rbs about the lateral flow tests as they do not do them in Wales... You can buy them online (some are reputable e.g mhra approved/from bupa) however rbs have said to us they cannot be home tests...you need to book somewhere for them. Unfortunately you can't book any lateral flow round here even privately so we are going to have to get the rapid antigen...which is more expensive Unfortunately x

    Aw this is so sad! He is clearly very talented. X

    Aw that is so hard Reggi. You would think they would be proud to have a student of theirs make finals, lovely for their student to be following on their dreams plus it reflects well on them too. X
