Yes the award would be given to someone else who has indicated that they require a MDS. Each school will have a set amount of MDS places they can hand out, unlike the DaDa there is no pot of money you either have an MDS place funding or not. These places are given out on talent and not financial need, so if a family's income was £120k a year and they were offered a MDS place they would just get less support from government than a person who was offered a MDS place and their family income was £30K. I think last year the cut off was £150k for MDS funding but don't quote me on that.

Definitely get your child their own bank card if they don’t already have one, it makes it so much easier to transfer money quickly if you need to, ie if they need money on trips out service stations etc. Or if they run out of something they need.

My DD is at Elmhurst in year 8, she went to Malvern last year and absolutely loved it. -

Sarah is amazing she really helped my daughter prepare for her vocational school auditions, she also gave her lots of confidence and self belief. I would totally recommend Sarah she’s a fantastic teacher and my daughter improved so much by attending her lessons. Like Raquelle said I wish we lived closer too.

Vocational school applications for Y7 entry 2022
Ballet Dreams replied to BalletBoysDad's topic in Doing Dance
They ask for information from your current school and I think there are academic tests but nothing is based off of these, places are offered on a child’s ability in ballet. I would 100% agree about the quality of teaching at private schools and low class numbers. Also as said previously there are more places available in year 7 and it’s definitely harder to get a place the further up the school you go. -
Vocational school applications for Y7 entry 2022
Ballet Dreams replied to BalletBoysDad's topic in Doing Dance
I had know idea what the vocational school pathway would be like, and I didn’t think a year on my daughter would be at the school of her dreams. She wasn’t a JA so I didn’t think she stood a chance, but she got to finals at the two schools she applied for Whitelodge and Elmhurst. We were just happy with that, it’s achievement in itself. We had the best time going on road trips and staying in hotels together. I just went with her decisions she wanted to try and I was going to support her 100%. Vocational school isn’t for everyone some get homesick but there are so many benefits my DD has made the most amazing friends, has the best teachers and has improved so much she’s so happy and I am so glad I went with her choices and decisions. Good luck with what ever you and your DD decide. -
My DD is going to week one she’s 12 she doesn’t know anyone either who’s definitely going, feel free to pm me. This is my DD first intensive too but shes a full time vocational year 7 student so is use to being away from home.

They said 10 days to us last year too, it was 10 working days I think. I think they do usually wait for upper school auditions as they are the following week. Only guessing but maybe because they need to know how beds they could possibly need in total ? Who knows, I am totally guessing here just gave my opinion based on our results last year x -

Sorry to hear this, my DD was so upset last year when she had a no. In my opinion everything happens for a reason an maybe your DS will be happier somewhere else. I hope your DS Elmhurst audition went well today. My DD is so happy there. -

Elmhurst didn’t announce results until after the upper school auditions last year. I would just accept your secondary school place last year I waited until the last minute to hand my DD local place back in late June. Our local school was oversubscribed so we wanted to make sure we were 100% sure, plus last year the parents and children didn’t have tours of the vocational schools. It was hard to make a definite decision without actually looking around and getting a feel for the school. -
