Ah junior. August 24-26 (it clashes with NYB) 

Is that the one you need? 

No but thanks for letting me know. I've got one yes for junior but a waitlist for seniors 😩

We have to turn a space down so fingers crossed it gets passed on! 

Is that fir junior or senior intensive??

Well done all and keeping fingers crossed for all the SWL. You'll be surprised that some students heading to full time training do turn down associates so there could still be movement 🤞🤞

MA results are out and am so excited it's a yes for our DD 🎉🎉 the agonising wait it over and we can now relax and enjoy 😁😁

Probably a silly question but do JAs automatically move up to MAs or do they also have to audition or pass an assessment or similar? 

Hiya, all JAs have to reapply for Mids so no automatic entry!!

I have not had an email yet.  I guess it will be Tuesday now. 

Thanks ☺️

We havent received anything yet either x

Phew 😅 thanks for the confirmation ☺️

For anyone taking part in the online spring intensive, have you had an email with the zoom links yet??

We're booked on but not had anything yet. RB are usually early with these things and due to the bank holidays thought it may arrive today?? 🤔🤔

Elmhurst haven’t charged an application fee for summer school in the past. I can’t say 100% that there isn’t a fee this year, but they are very good at responding to emails. Good luck with your application!

Thank you. I'll drop them an email to double check ☺️

For anyone who has applied for Summer School, when you submitted your application was there a fee to pay? I've submitted ours this evening and the final page said submit & pay. I checked the summary table and clicked submit but didn't see any payment details, is this correct?? 

For RB there is a fee to pay for summer intensive applications so want to make sure I've not done something wrong 🤔🤔 

Thanks

Our DC got yr7 waitlist. I haven’t seen that any girls have got waitlist on here, only boys. Is that normally the case?

I think the norm is equal number of girls & boys on WL but obviously not everyone who achieved this will be on this forum. 

Congratulations to your DD 🎉

Some people do decline offers and having seen schools and individuals post pupils with multiple offers (some up to four and five in years past) there will be those on waitlist who will get a call offering a place.  Royal maybe the dream school but we know of two families over the years who have decided against going citing differing reasons.  We have also know of two offers from wait list but these were not Year 7 entry.

So if a schools waiting list is cleared as those on the wait list accept offers from other schools, what happens then? Does the waiting list get reallocated??

This may seem like a strange question but here it goes:

Once offers come from other schools and then we all start accepting, do RB ever update their waiting lists if they clear? Same question for other schools.

so people who have been on waiting list before, is there a set time when places are offered if there are any spaces or could they happen at anytime? I am certainly not expecting anything here but was curious.

So we were on the spring intensive waiting list and had an email to say it closed the same day as we had the email to confirm a wait list place for Summer Intensive. Very confusing with the then automated emails, technical fault accepting the summer waiting list etc 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 

Basically they email to tell you when the wait list closes so I assume no offer of a place after this date even if someone pulls out??? But I could be wrong.

We have received a Yes for White Lodge for my DD. X

Congratulations, I think you're the first yes for the girls 🎉🎉 very well done

sadly my DD is a no also. Sending a hug. It’s not a nice email to read, wasn’t expecting it today either 

No neither was I, soooo quick!! But at least the agonising wait is over.

Sadly it’s a no for my dd. She’s absolutely gutted. She has a place on the summer school, but I think that’ll be a bit hard now. Well done to everyone for the yeses, such a tough process. 

Ah same news in our house..... Sadly a no for my DD and waitlist for summer intensive 😭 now the wait for Mids results which should be after Easter. Trying to remain hopeful 🤞🤞

So anyone going tomorrow if you can let us know if this gate is open and if not which entrance you successfully entered through. That would be most helpful.

Yes I think so...! X

Ah thanks for the heads up then as that's the gate we've been told to use 🤦‍♀️

In terms of tips...leave loads of time to get to the lodge...i didn't realise how big Richmond Park is! The sat nav took me to a park entrance with a road closure so had to drive to another entrance which added on 15 minutes to our journey x 

Oh gosh, thanks for that info. Was the road closure at Sheen gate??

How have the finalists got on today?? Any tips for our travels such as road works ect. Think I recall someone saying road closures in the area last weekend.

Hope your DDs have all had a wonderful day xx
