Did any Y8 children get offers of a place in the RB finals?

I ask because I know WL changed their system this year and now children are guaranteed I believe 3 yrs without assessing our.

 

Hi yes I’d be interested to know that too 🤔

Oh I hadn’t realised that WL final was spread over 2 days….we got the email this morning for DS and I just thought the 2 dates meant it would be with the 10th or 11th 🙈

 

Last year it was just one day but I think that was because of covid and they did it differently 🤔

I thought that too just wanted to check!  Fingers crossed.  

Too long to wait! 🤣

I know this is the year 7 thread but have any year 8s hear about Elmhurst? 

I was just about to message you! No I havnt heard anything yet. I guess it’s because everyone gets a preliminary audition for entry into year 7 but they are selecting the year 8 entry auditionees from the videos. So we’ll probably have to wait until after the closing date! X

Ah so maybe I have the wrong end of the stick. I’m sure I’d read somewhere about being invited back but that could be Elmhurst? 

Yes I think at Elmhurst they do a callback for physio checks x

Is it usually around a week after the audition that results are coming out? X

Anyone else’s child in year 7 now and auditioning? My dd is auditioning for associates and vocational schools. She wasn’t ready last year but has now decided she wants it! I’m presuming it’s even harder to get a place in the higher years.  

My daughter is applying to 2 vocational schools for a year 8 place. It will be very difficult as there won’t be many if any places. But she really enjoyed the audition process last year and wants to do it again. It’s all experience and in my view it’s good to stay on their radar. Good luck to your DD x

The London year 7 auditions were the Sunday before the year 8&9s. So I think only year 7 London are out at the moment. Don’t know about other centres. 

Oh yes! If anyone here knows if any year 8 results have come out yet from other centres can you let me know thanks! Xx

Good luck everyone! I know this is a year 7 thread but does anyone know if any results for entry into year 8/9 have come out yet? Or is it year 7 first? X

Well done to everyone! does anyone know when the last round of preliminary auditions are? X

Hello!

 

do you have a date to accept your place by? Just wondering when it’s likely there there might be movement for us waitlist gang! Thanks.  

Hi! We have until 24th December to confirm and book the lessons. It says if we don’t do it by then it will be offered to someone on the waitlist x

They close on the 30th x

Good luck to everyone applying…I really can’t believe we are already at the auditions stage.

DS has his WL/MA audition next Sunday, it’s the London audition…are there any other boys attending?

Has anyone else whose applied to Elmhurst heard from them yet when their prelim audition is…I’m worrying maybe our application didn’t go through (even though I got email confirmation lol…I know I’m being silly) as it seems really late to not have heard from them yet ? 

Elmhurst applications havnt closed yet so I would imagine you will hear after that, good luck x

Semis are only for year 7 girls so for year 8 it would be straight to finals. Good luck to your DD. X

Thank you! Any idea how many year 8 applicants they take to finals? X 

Good luck to everyone applying! My DD is applying for year 8 entry. Does anyone know if there are semi finals for year 8 entry or is it straight through to finals? 🤔

Sorry for anyone with bad news and good luck to those waitlisted! My DD had a yes. First time of applying for an intensive and she’s really excited! X 

Hi everyone, 

Given that the spring intensive course isnt residential this year I was wondering if this means that a lot more than usual will be accepted on the course? 🤔

my daughter was offered a mid associate place today off the waiting list😀 shes so excited. Can anybody help with uniform sizing for the leotard and tracksuit? Is it true to size does it run big or small shes 11 in August but wondering whether to get 9-11 or 12-13 thanks 

Congratulations! My daughter is a petite 11 I have ordered the 9-11 jacket and bottoms as I was told they come up quite big. I ordered the size 2 leotard which fits but without much room. Hope this helps xx

I think they’re quite big but maybe they’re meant to be quite baggy? My DD is 11 (height approx 151/152cm)and is normally in size adult XS for most things including leotards so I ordered age 12-13 in both the top and bottoms. They were very baggy on her and the top is longer than she’s used to so I ordered the 9-11 years and that fit her better. The joggers are still quite baggy so I’ve bought her leggings elsewhere instead. I think she’s just in between sizes maybe because I also had to buy her two leotards (2 and 3A), she prefers the fit of the 2, I prefer the 3A but both are wearable.

My daughter wears the 9-11. She’s just turned 11 and I think it would do her another few years! The jogging bottoms we had to turn the elastic over in the waistband the first year. Sizing is generous 

That’s great, thanks so much! I will order the 9-11 in the top and bottoms and I’ll use that trick if the bottoms are too baggy! Im ordering the 2 leotards also as I’m not sure which will fit better x 

Hi! Does anyone know how the sizing is on the RBS Associates tracksuit? Xx 

Congratulations everyone! My DD had a yes she’s really happy 😁

Probably a bit off topic but I was just looking at the uniform list and it specifies leather ballet shoes for MA1 (London).  Does anyone know if they actually wear leather and is it supposed to be full sole?  I know in some centres they are allowed to wear split sole canvas.  My DD hasn't worn leather shoes in about 2-3 years.  It probably doesn't matter but my DD has never been in anything RBS and would hate to be a rebel on her first day 😂

Same as everything you said! So I’ll be waiting for the answers 🤣

Yes my DD got a place off the waiting list today. ☺️ Good luck to those still waiting 🤞 xx
