I was assuming that there will be the cohort of lower school students progressing to upper school (I don’t think they need to audition with the rest) so I guess very few places.  I wondered if they invite lots to finals.
 

Dd will not be going anywhere without funding, in all honesty I’m not sure we can afford it even with dada 😢 but I will cross that bridge if it comes to it.

Good luck to your DC.

 

From what they said realistically there will be 8-12 newbies, the rest from lower school, just depends on how many decide not to go to 6th form, how many get a place at Elmhurst or the Royal, how many decide to do something different, and how many are not deemed good enough to go into 6th form.   So I suspect they give places to perhaps 20 newbies,  then of them most will be offered a DaDA audition........and a few will get them.   then like you, not sure if we can go for it if we get an award,  but crossing that bridge if we get to it....

Good luck with your DC too :-)

Does anyone know how many are invited to finals for 6th form?

Not sure,  but from what i hear they will over subscribe the entry (as in say they take 25 they will offer 35, possibly more) and expect the extra to decline for the place,  and then they again over subscribe for the DaDA auditions,  where they will only offer a few (don't know how many) awards but I would think 10 or less,  and the ones that don't get awards they can take a place still if they can afford it.....I expect most don't (certainly will be in our case, no award, cannot go).....pretty tough this Dance business eh!   ( I am basing this on 6th form entry of what I have heard)

Hi, I enquired about host families for my DD going into yr 10 and was advised that there were no families that would host someone of her age. If you are looking for 6th form it may be different. I contacted Nicky Milne at the school.

Hope that helps x 

 Thank you,  not found anything yet for 6th form,  but not worrying till it is actually a problem ;-)

I don't suppose that anyone has found any links to local host families?  just checking in case my Daughter gets a DaDA award and the boarding places do not become available?,  but preparing for plan B as well?
