Is anyone else still waiting for email?

Has anyone not for year 7 received email?

Does anyone know whether this letter is the same as what previous years have received or whether it is different? Unfortunately dds dream seems to be slipping away 😥

Could be going out in year group order... will let you know when I hear anything. 

Thanks x

Not received our email yet either 

No nothing, keep checking my emails x

Has anyone heard anything or had any correspondence since the initial reserve list emails? I appreciate they will be busy sorting things for existing pupils but would really like to know what next steps are

Hello Hammond Hopefuls! Meet you back here tomorrow! March and April 2020 are officially proving to be the longest months ever! It’s my son’s birthday early next week. Would be lovely to have some positive news. But, even if we have no mds funding, it’s been positive to get this far. Health and happiness and best of luck to everyone. 

Thanks @SpinningBoyand fingers crossed for some good news xx

Anyone had anything through today? Was expecting to have had some sort of forms or communication at least.

No nothing, was hoping to have heard something. Keep refreshing my emails! 

No nothing here either xx

Lots of time yet then I suppose 🤞🤞

I know but more waiting and I am such an impatient person!! Keeping fingers crossed for everyone xx

Wonder if we see any movement this week or whether everyone has accepted their MDS. Hope everyone is staying safe xx

Have patience folks.  

 

I know the wait is really, really difficult, but remember the school may be operating with limited staff at the moment.

 

At the best of times it can take a while to sort out the admin - right now it could take longer.

 

Take heart from @tutugirl's post - there will be good news to come for some.  

 

Wishing you all the best in your waiting

Thanks @glowlight

I haven't checked this feed for a couple of days and it looks like the reserve list is going down! Any news from the boys from that last audition @WrapsnBows? Woke up at 3am worrying about it - and there's plenty to be worrying about at the moment as it is! Wishing you all the best. And @Milzmam and everyone else waiting! Congratulations @CaleaLooking forward to hearing more good news stories. Stay safe x

Thanks @SpinningBoy, fingers crossed for you, the waiting is definitely the hardest part, especially during these long days at home x

Thanks @Calea

Just now, Calea said:

@Milzmam - yes it is! 😄

That's amazing, your dd must be delighted. At least there is some movement. I'm still not that hopeful as my dd going into year 10 so I know she won't be near top of reserve list. Still hoping for a bursary though just more waiting xx

@Betty’s mum - dd has been offered MDS from reserve list! So pleased! 😁

Is this for Hammond? Well done xx

Unfortunately it’s all in the hands of tring and Elmhurst where we are on the waiting list ....... fingers crossed for every one xx   

Doesn't look like many people have posted about MDS at Elmhurst or Tring,  my hopes are definitely fading at this difficult time. Unfortunately everyone trying for funding this year will find it even more difficult due to current climate. Keeping our fingers crossed but the waiting is hard. Hope everyone in staying safe xx

Thank you for this. This is a first time for us - and I am beginning to slightly kick myself that we didn't start the process 2 years ago. All info is very much appreciated and gratefully received. All the best.

Same for us. First time and my dd trying for year 10 so last chance really otherwise she will need to wait for upper school. Fingers crossed for everyone and hopefully some movement on MDS or some info on bursaries soon xx

And Elmhurst have loads more MDS than Tring to give out so there will be some movement  🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Fingers crossed, although not holding out much hope for MDS for my dd as trying for year 10. Waiting to see what bursaries might be available after 17th April xx

Oh @Milzmam my lad did summer school last year and Easter and loved it too

Ah really they probably know each other! What year group you trying for? Xx

Elmhurst and Tring mds will be handed out in the next few days so im sure there will be lots of movement. Good luck x

There doesn't seem to be many MDS from Tring on the forum so not sure how much movement there will be. Trying to stay hopeful during these difficult times x

good luck @Milzmam Are you looking at any other schools? My son is looking for a year 9 place at Hammond only. We'll see what happens after 17 April. It's difficult to have anything to look forward to at the moment. The days are very looooooong!

No other schools for us, just Hammond. My dd has done summer school past 2 years and just loves the school. If she doesn't get to go now she will try again for year 12 upper school. Fingers crossed x
