The two times my son did finals, his dance teacher emailed for feedback and it was given without issue by Mark Annear.

Of the other students and friends my son knows who have asked for feedback it has always been given without any problem by RBS.

I would always ask for feedback, this for me is about gently nudging vocational training schools to be more transparent and I believe that asking and receiving feedback is part of that process.

We as a part of the audition pathway always ask for feedback. I would then raise questions when it is not given.

Hopefully the more parents and teachers that ask, the more feedback becomes as standard.

That’s brilliant you did. I have to say you are the first person I know to have got it. Friends have asked in the past only to be met with we don’t give it.

I hope not! ☹️ DS doesn’t have flat turnout and I’m not sure he’ll ever achieve fully flat (he’s flexible but not at all hypermobile according to the weird tests I’ve seen online: elbows, toes, thumb etc). 
 

I hope we can get some sort of feedback. I’m sure I’ve read that teachers can ask but parents can’t - will ask ours.

From pals that have been through this process last year, they wont give any feedback at all x

DS on the wait list too. Well done to those that also have xx

Hi Everyone 

what are you all doing about this LFT? How / where do I get one done?

we have to get one done for the RBS audition. Sometimes you can get them down locally at tests centres, do check though as our borough dont do under 16's. Ive ended up booking do  it privately so Im sure it be will done in time. Check your local borough website and call your GP practice first x

Anyone on the early slot on the friday?

So do they take the sample? I can't find a place like that. Still looking though.

 

Thank-you to everyone who has shared suggestions, etc. I really appreciate it. xxx

Are you getting the PCR test? 

no the lateral Flow as they requested. I tried the local centres here but they dont do under 16's 

3 hours ago, Lara Eschler said:

Yes, but it is proving impossible to get a  covid test for us. 

We have had to use a private Dr to get one done

So for finals regarding boys... I’m assuming they don’t have to wear their JA uniform and can wear any leotard and shorts? Thoughts? 

They dont but I would advise it. Shorts show off their legs and the scoop neck means they can see their neckline easily etc . The whole outfit lends to showcasing the body which is what you need
