Hi there,

My daughter & her flat mate were only 16 when they started NBS In September 2021. The 4 who share the flat now were all just 17 at the start on this year's tenancy ....all now 18. Make sure you let them know they are NBS students. Contact details I have for MSV Dwell are: Phone : 061 200 5560, 

Email I deal with for tenancy: studentcare@dwellstudent.co.uk

Person who has helped me in the past:

Hi

My DD has also been offered NBS, which is her first choice. 
Im desperately trying to book accommodation. Parkway doesn’t have room availability with any other NBS students. However, Mill Point still has flats available. 
I am looking for another NBS student to book with as I don’t want my DD in a flat without another NBS student.

Hi,

 Hoping the above info will be helpful when deciding on tenancy length. This will ( unless a change is made, which I haven't known to happen ) be the term dates for when your DD / DS start.

Thanks so much

Hi, my daughter has been offered a place at NBS which she is delighted to receive.   We are still auditioning for other schools but NBS is top on our list.  Does anyone have any recommendations for accommodation, what is best suited to 1st year student, need to get moving on this before everything is booked out.  Thanks for all help.

Hi, can I ask if anyone has information on why Elmhurst dont accept a 17 year old into Year 12 Upper School, why do students have to be 16 at 31st August.  Many thanks.

I don't know if this will help, but I had a quick trawl through the current websites and pulled together this summary.

 

 

Establishment	Accommodation	Ballet qualification	A levels
Arts Ed at Tring (Tring, Hertfordshire)	Boarding School	Trinity College Diploma in Professional Dance at Level 6	Wide range of A Levels offered. Pupils usually study 3 or 4
Central School of Ballet (London)	You arrange your own accommodation	Foundation degree/BA (Hons)  in Professional Dance and Performance
Elmhurst (Birmingham)	Provided by the school	Trinity College Diploma in Professional Dance at Level 5 or 6	A levels offered – a choice of Art, Biology, English Lit, Maths.  Not clear how many people take
English National Ballet School (London)	You arrange your own accommodation	Trinity College Diploma in Professional Dance at Level 5 or 6
Moorlands International Ballet Academy (Clitheroe, Lancashire)	Boarding School	Not clear what qualification vocational students come out with – but there is an option to do Level 4 Diploma in Dance Education (DDE) Qualification	Wide range of A levels offered, but not clear to what extent vocational students study these
Northern Ballet School (Manchester)	You arrange your own accommodation Most students stay in halls within 5 mins walk of the school	Trinity College Diploma in Professional Dance at Level 6
Royal Ballet School (London)	Provided by the school	BA Degree in Classical Ballet and Dance Performance	Option to study 1 A level in Art, English Literature, French or Mathematics
Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (Glasgow)	You arrange your own accommodation	BA in Modern Ballet
The Hammond School (Chester)	Boarding School	Trinity College Diploma in Professional Dance	2 A levels from a range of subjects

 

 

I would consider carefully how important A Levels are at this stage, because if you only audition for schools which offer A levels you are limiting your choice quite a lot.

 

I believe some students do A levels in their 'spare time' at other schools or colleges, but remember they are already doing a physically and mentally demanding full time course at a level which is at A level to degree level depending on the institution.

 

When my dd got a place at Northern Ballet School, where A levels weren't part of the standard offering, my feeling was to let her put her all into her dance training while she had the chance.  You can do A levels at any age.   If you are lucky enough and talented enough to get a place at a vocational ballet school it is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

 

 

Thank you for this info, as i have been trying to do up a similar summary myself for my DD who is planning applying for entry to upper schools for Sept 22.  She has just come back from a week a senior summer school at Elmhurst and absolutely loved the experience.   As she is only 15 now and will be 16 on entry in 2022, we are only looking at schools that offer A Level or continued own country equivalent (we are not UK based) support and boarding and if she doesn't get offered a place for 2022 she will continue to complete her education at home and apply for full time training (without A level or similar) for entry September 2023 when at that time she will have completed her formal education.  Really feel it is so important that they finish their formal education if it is possible to do so.

Hi quick question, the deposit is paid by parent pay which I've done but I haven't had any email confirmation that I've paid, other than my bank says £50 paid to parentpay, doesn't even say Elmhurst. Has this been the same for any of you? Am I worrying uneccassrily as usual! 🤣

Hi, when i paid i received an email from platform@parentpay.com confirming receipt of payment and it does mention Elmhurst Ballet School with contact details for reference if there are any queries.

Has everyone received a reply yet? We haven’t anything at all yet (except email receipt of application) but not sure if they’re doing acceptances first.  Any ideas? Many thanks x

My DD's friend received a mail saying she is on a waiting list!

Hi, I wonder does anyone know how many students are in the senior summer school and if they are all boarding for the week or is there also day students attending this year?

Hi! I went in 2019 and absolutely loved it. Not sure how it’s working this year but I really enjoyed being taught by BRB dancers. Also, my group did Pas de Deux with some of the BRB dancers as well which was an amazing experience (especially for my first time doing pas!). We learnt 3 different rep pieces and a jazz piece for the showing at the end. The food was really nice and it was easy to socialise with everyone else with things like the disco we had. I hope your daughter has fun, it’s an amazing school! 

Thanks so much for your reply, sounds wonderful.

My DD has been accepted too for the Senior Summer School, first time applying so newbie to all this, would love to hear any feedback, experiences, thanks.
