DS has now attended 3 of tutugirl's summer schools and each time he has thoroughly enjoyed it. The faculty are fantastic, he is inspired by the male teachers, one of which is currently dancing with a company, and learns so much in just 1 week. The summer school is attended by a good mix of vocational and non-vocational students and they are grouped by ability rather than age meaning all students are challenged. The performance at the end of the week allows every student multiple performance opportunities and the standard and volume of work learnt in such a short time is superb. It is a very caring and nurturing environment, offers excellent value for money and the homestay provision is brilliant. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Congrats to your daughter. Train from London is easy. King's Cross to York then York to Harrogate. There is also a direct train between Harrogate and King's Cross but that doesn't run very frequently

DS has accepted his place at Central today. Exciting times 😁

We have declined DS's offer today so hopefully that will open up a reserve place now x

When I got the phonecall they mentioned they had a very long waiting list this year. I've only heard of yes or nos

Thank you, that is very helpful 😊

Does anyone know of any other boy places? I'm fairly certain DS will be accepting his.

Good to hear Friendship House is recommended. Are the shared rooms ok? Are they big enough for 2 people to live in comfortably. Certainly seems the most affordable option. I've submitted an enquiry to LHA for Sept entry and DS is happy to share. Do any Central students do homestay? DS turns 17 beginning of October. Thanks

Congrats to your DS

We've just had a phonecall too with a yes for DS. Good luck to everyone else waiting 🤞

DS said they said they were hoping to release results on 22nd but if not it would be 24th. I was also hoping they'd be out sooner x

Another recommendation for this excellent summer school. DS, currently in vocational training, has attended twice with homestay and has had a brilliant time. Small class sizes, lots of personal attention and correction, and an amazing performance at the end for the parents. Homestay is great and the children are very well looked after. Best value for money intensive out there 🙂

Yes we have. Hope others got good news too 🙂

We've had an email this morning saying results will be out on (or by) 18th with an apology for the delay

I think I'm more impatient than dc. We're also waiting for Central results too 😬
