Hi everyone, I just wondered if anyone had received any emails recently with more info eg a suggested packing list for the Summer Intensives? Many thanks

Wow, if I were able to come to London that day I would have definitely said yes please! One of my favourite operas!

Hi, My ds is 11. Let me know if you would like them to get in touch before then. Does your son have a phone or perhaps a zoom call? For Spring intensive we did a zoom call with a couple of boys from this forum before that week. I know  a couple of boys going that are currently year 5. I am sure they will have a great time. 

Thanks

My DS is week 1 also. He’s a Y5 JA at Birmingham. 

 Ps this is all new to us and we are trying to think how best to prepare for it! Very exciting though! 🙂

Oh that’s great, thank you! We are Y5 JA and this will be first time doing Summer Intensives! It would be nice to have some friends there, as I think that we don’t know anyone there he knows yet!! 

Hi everyone, hope you are all well! Is anyone doing Summer Intensives Week 1 or 2?

Thank you so much for this @MPatti! Do you or does anyone on here have the packing list for boys (White Lodge Summer Intensives)? Many thanks in advance! 

Congratulations @MissEmily to your student! I was just about to post asking if anyone knows if there is an official packing list for White Lodge Summer Intensives? Or if anyone has been to one before and can offer helpful advice on what to bring!

It happened to my DD. She got to finals for Y7 & Y8 but no place. Then two weeks into the September term she was offered the opportunity to join her year group for an assessment class with Mr Parker. She started at the school following the half term of Y8. So yes it does happen. 

That’s so wonderful! Congratulations to your DD! 😃

Congratulations Everyone! It took me most of the afternoon to process and letting it sink in. My DS has been offered a year 7 place. I am also very pleased about the new programme structure. 

I have been posting very publicly on here, lol, please let me know if anyone would like to start a whatsapp group for year 7 entry?

Congratulations to everyone again for enduring this rollercoaster ride...though I know it is only the beginning..

Congratulations to your DS @Lara Eschler! That’s wonderful news! So happy for you and him! xxx
