    I really just meant that as they have the capacity to take 15 or even 16 of each, (but usually take 12), that this year might be a year where more children (16 rather than12) get a chance. It was more a reflection following the discussion of whether more applicants might have made finals this year. Apologies again if I have offended anyone or if my comment has been perceived as a criticism of the school system. xx

    The tone of their email cheered up too.

    No covid test for ELmhurst!!!

    Yes, they do guarantee a year but they find out in February whether they are progressing to the following year. It seems like a difficult situation with most children not having the resilience to stay until the end knowing they have been assessed out and for families to find another suitable school in February where deadlines would have past.

    Apologies, I did not mean that they should not be selective but I think the amount and quality of training children had this year is more variable than previous years, perhaps. Maybe this year they might give a couple more children the benefit of the doubt and see how they can thrive with their training ( I was just suggesting 15 of each would still be better than 12). The reality, from what I understand, is that they do assess out more so than other schools anyway and the lucky children who get an offer is only for a year at the time. Assuming my ds is able to attend ( as still not sure the covid tests logistics will work), it will be his first time back in a studio in ages with the pressure of being in an audition class, that joy and love of dancing they look for might not necessarily show. @WhiteduvetI totally agree about finding the right fit for your child in terms of schools. The audition process also works for both ways.

    Hopefully, they take more than 12 of each this year too since children did not have the usual studio training and as they can assess them out by February anyway.

    So do you think more boys are attending finals this year like 45 instead of 30 or so?
  8. Lara Eschler
    Is the physio assessment in a group or are they seen individually?

    I think people had confirmed it is fine, when I called they also said to try to source it from a secondary school (though I thought the test would be administered by staff.) My concern would just be people self-reporting results and self-interpreting the test results.

    Just found out Dumlers Pharmacy in Richmond offers rapid antigen tests and they are 69 pounds. The stress of sourcing a test has at least distracted me from the the stress of ds attending an audition class at such a prestigious school.

    I thought one of the concerns was reading the result yourself from the test kit? Is that how the lateral flow test kits given to staff work? I really hope they accept all the different variants of the test, and supply their own if people need them and hope all the children stay healthy and symptoms free.

    It is really hard with all the uncertainty, hope it works out, let us know if they confirm administering the test at home is fine.

    Thanks again , I booked one at Stansted for the 10th now, I hope it works, they need passport and email confirmation and it says flight details if applicable.
  14. Lara Eschler

  15. Lara Eschler

    Thank-you, I actually have a flat in London but have tenants in but I paid council tax over the summer so have looked at that but the borough wanted proof of address and council tax bill for current tax year which I am not sure it was going t work. Could you message me (privately if you wish) if you know of a borough who does not require proof of address? Thanks again.
  17. Lara Eschler
    thanks will try, though not that close to airport.
  18. Lara Eschler
    Yes, I called our school who has their own machine for PCR tests and has lateral flow tests for staff and year 7 onwards and they said no. Did you use your own dc school or another primary school?
  19. Lara Eschler
    So do they take the sample? I can't find a place like that. Still looking though. Thank-you to everyone who has shared suggestions, etc. I really appreciate it. xxx
  20. Lara Eschler
    Are you getting the PCR test?
  21. Lara Eschler
    It is different,
  22. Lara Eschler
    Maybe they are interviewed by a different person. I assume they are interviewed individually?
  23. Lara Eschler

  24. Lara Eschler
