My dd2 will be going to Malvern next week. She's 9 and it's her first residential. I'm wondering if anyone has any dc's around her age that are going? 

My dd is 11 and also went last year, everybody is so lovely and caring, she will love it xx

Yes it took ages last time, we took them November and did not get results till end Jan xxx  I don't get much info from my dd, so not sure the girls are any better xx 

Last set of exams the results were given at school, then we got the results home a week later x good luck xx 

Yes they are split between the years of 7-10. And remember they also have there own bursaries xx

Last year it was the day they broke up for Easter x

My DD auditioned for y7 yesterday. Was anybody given an indication of when we could expect results? I completely forgot to ask!

I've also heard of another ja who got a place from London x

Does anyone know if Hammond are doing another set of ballet exams in June, as my dd has heard this, but I'm not sure if she has heard it right xx

Yes, you have to do them if on dance course, and the classes are in the daily timetable, and exam fees are paid if you have mds

Well done armydancer, Hammond is a brilliant school, if you have any questions please ask my dd is in year 7 xx????

Does anyone know when the assessment results will be sent out, I'm getting impatient x

Yes you can get feedback if your an associate! What day did you audition?

Hammond black tracksuit bottoms, only used for 1 term then grew out of them size 24/26" £5 plus postage

My dd is in year 7 on the dance course, and she loves it, the dance course is amazing, and she has come on so much in only one term, she has already done her intermediate foundation ballet exam in November, and performed in the production Oliver, they work them hard but both ballet, tap, modern and academic classes are outstanding and I'm very happy with the school x

Omg! That's awful, the boarding staff need to sort that straight away! I'm in shock that has happened! Xx

Balletaims that's awful, I know there have been issues at school, where the year 7s have had there bags emptied, but did not think there were issues at the house, what year is you did in?

Thanks everyone, to me it seems one rule for one and another rule for someone else, 2 children who do outside activities are both on mds!

I think for or dc it's quite a stressful time with Oliver, exams and assessments and with pressure from children who are clearly doing extra classes to make them better than other children is not needed when there at vocational school, ballet4boyz you are so right my dd also needs the rest in the evening and in Sunday's - I'm going to contact the school to clarify what we can and cannot do as my dd would also like to do a summer school as it's a long break, - and I don't want to be the one breaking the rules!

Sarahw, yes it is as my dd just don't understand it, and thinks it's my rules, especially when her friends are doing so much out of school, and she had a major meltdown concerning her flexibility, - she thinks she is so bad, but I'm trying to explain to her other students are over stretching to the extreme in out of school classes which makes her look not flexible xx I have a concerned dd xx

Thanks Karen, I'm not alone in my thoughts, I know of a few girls and boys doing lots out of school, - and it just annoys me to know why they are aloud to do it and confuses me to why nothing is done, - and it's not as though it is hidden as it's all over social media, starting to feel that the ones who are following the rules are now at a disadvantage x

Can someone please clear something up for me:

In the hammonds parents handbook, it clearly says that your son or daughter can not audition for anywhere else, and clearly says you can not do any competitions or any other classes, - so how can some children at Hammond do lots and lots of outside of school activities, attend other dance schools at the weekend and in the evening and compete in well known competitions, - and also audition year after year at the top schools, I'm a bit confused, or am I just missing something? Or am I just to good following the rules not letting my child do anything else! Please does anyone know?

I have emailed you them

My dd is now in year 7, - and the papers got sent to her primary school, I think it was after the first audition. X yes it was like a Sats paper
