    I think it’s the standard letter, we had it twice! Saying that however she then went on to get a Yes on her third and final attempt in Year 6.

    Email the principal directly (her email is on website) not sure if they’re in or out but there are some replies coming this week.

    We’ve been told the same just yesterday. Disappointing but time to move on for us. Would love to make it happen but it’s just impossible.
  4. Exhausteddancemum
    Does anyone know if there is any chance of MDS at this point? Refusing to give up hope but realise it’s getting increasingly unlikely. We also had no information about the meeting so am worried this means we’ve been taken off lists.
  5. Exhausteddancemum
    Whereabouts are you based? There’s some adult classes in Stockport/Buxton?
  6. Exhausteddancemum
    I didn’t take it as a definite no for ever, I’m just presuming they’ve offered some MDS already and they’ll rank everyone else based on their audition scores and then start a waiting list I suppose. Some of the kids they offered MDS too that we knew have also been offered places at Tring & are into the finals at RBS & Elmhurst so I suppose there will be movement. But yes it’s very hard because as you say when they’ve personally kept them behind and given them lovely compliments the pupil is all geed up and even more excited and thinks it’s even more likely they’ll get to go and this forum alone is showing us that actually they’ve said the same to quite a few others and so chances are realistically quite limited.

    I hoped the same but personal contacts & some social media observation made it clear that people just ahead of my daughter had been offered MDS scheme and we had a vague “funding will be explained” in a letter statement. At least it meant we could prepare her for realistic worst case

    As far as I could work out they did both - kept some children behind & sent others home. Of those they kept (about 7-8) I think on our day they then called them in 1 by 1. The first few were offered MDS funded places, the last group were offered immediate places but no funding offer. Just a wait for a letter funding.
  9. Exhausteddancemum
    We got the letter to apply for funding and interpreted that as everyone would get it and then they’d start a waiting list? But not sure why we thought that!

    I don’t know but at my daughters audition they offered MDS to the first 4- we found out because we knew 3 of them. And that was one of the earliest January auditions. Don’t know how many they’ll have total
  11. Exhausteddancemum
    Me too! I’ve sent enough emails I’m on verge of annoying myself now! But the email offering the place offered no guidance at all about funding. I know some people got told on the day that they had funding but we weren’t told anything. Not sure what that means
  12. Exhausteddancemum
    Thank you so much! My daughter was really impressed by it and now has heart set on it 🤦🏼‍♀️ I have explained it’s practically unlikely to happen as such limited MDS places. I know they offered some on the audition day but was trying to work out of there was an slim possibility there were some left to still try for
  13. Exhausteddancemum
    Hammond would be the first choice? V new to all this. Have searched the tags but still realise what I’m really trying to do is crystal ball gazing on whether she’d be chosen and not sure how the whole system works!
  14. Exhausteddancemum
    Does anyone know how likely or when students might hear about MDS grants? If they get an offer or yes how does it work?
  15. Exhausteddancemum
    Well I never thought I’d get to post a positive story but after two years of straight No’s (No wait list/no onlines just no’s) my daughter actually got a Yes for Y6 Manchester! So if you’re reading this disappointed as I have been previously then take heart ❤️ and if you’re near a Ballet Boost associate class try out for them because they’ve made all the difference to my daughter I think. Well done to all the Yes’s and it really is not the door closing if your daughter is disappointed this year x
  16. Exhausteddancemum
    It’s a no for my daughter oh well!
  17. Exhausteddancemum
    We got a no for Manchester second no!
  18. Exhausteddancemum
    Still waiting for views here 🤦🏼‍♀️ Feeling like we’ve bee rejected on photos alone but in that case wish the video audition had been optional or they’d been clear about the photo importance!
  19. Exhausteddancemum
    We’re still waiting! Beginning to give up hope of them ever being watched to be honest! I submitted only hours before original deadline so not sure if that affected it 🤦🏼‍♀️
  20. Exhausteddancemum
    We haven’t had any at all!
  21. Exhausteddancemum
    Still waiting for views here (Manchester)
  22. Exhausteddancemum
    Oh gosh how frustrating I was still doing the form late last night & I could have redone the photos I’ve been stressing about it I’d known!
  23. Exhausteddancemum
    How strict do you think they’ll be on the photos? We definitely didn’t get as good as her teachers could have got out of her I always feel guilt when I seem to have the key role in the application process 🤦🏼‍♀️ I just can’t see the tweaks!
  24. Exhausteddancemum
    It’s the same video as last time though isn’t it :( so huge cost, photos, no actual audition experience and more exhausting videos to record! Was really looking forward to trying again this year with my 8 year old but both of us feel pretty despondent at the video experience again!
  25. Exhausteddancemum
    It looks like Year 4 & 5 will be video auditions next year too for the huge price of £65 or am I misreading their website?!
