Not sure many other than Royal formally asses out at the end of year 9 anymore. Elmhurst doesn't. It is possible to get a place but competition is still fierce. I think many schools allow people will audition for year group except maybe 11. Whether there are funded places will depend on space for boarding, number leaving, quality of people auditioning. It will vary year to year for each school.

As far as I am aware Hammond don't take anyone into year 11. Year 10 is last lower school entry

Sorry for starting a new thread but I didn’t want to post in several and am interested in hearing about all vocational schools. What are the chances of being offered a vocational school place into Year 10?  If you are not successful for scholarship funding (or are ineligible) can you still be offered a place if you can pay fees?  

Which schools is your dd thinking of auditioning at?

Hi all. Hammond are sending emails not letters for auditions (at least from last Monday’s they are). 

Yes we got email after my dd audition in November. Good luck everyone waiting for results

Yesterday Hammond said they had a total of 14 mda to give away this year but will only have 8 next year 

Did they mention whether 14 MDAs were across all year groups? My dd is year 10

Does anyone know how long Hammond takes to send out results?

Our results took about 5 days. Were you at audition on Monday?

There is a seperate thread for Hammond 2020 auditions on here aswell

Well done everyone. Anyone yes for year 10?

 I think my daughter said there were about 20 in her group - boys and girls!  We are waiting to hear on a y7 place they said they take 20 children in y7 and there were 11 mds awards for this year group but the years above only had a few! Hope this helps and good luck too!

Thanks @Calea that is helpful. We knew year 10 entry would be hard and funding even harder but it is her dream so still giving it a go. Hope you don't wait too long for outcome of your dd audition

My DD auditioning on Monday! 

Were there many at audition on Monday? My dd is trying for year 10 but just curious how many places in years 8, 9 and 10 there are compared to how many auditioning. Hope your dd audition went well 

Good luck to everyone auditioning next week

Anyone auditioning for Hammond for Sept this year entry and which year groups?

I would recommend The Hammond Summer school, my dd has attended the past 2 years and applying for this year too.  Boarding available and performance at the end of the week.

Thanks. The waiting is the hardest part!

Does anyone know if Hammond audition results come by email or post?

Thanks everyone

Any advice on whether MDS can be awarded to year 10 at Hammond if successful at audition
