That's great news- congrats! X

Nothing here either. I'm presuming there will be no staff in for the next three weeks with it being Easter so I'm not expecting to hear anything for a while now. It's proving to be a good lesson in learning patience. Although I'm proving to be a poor student!

Would you let us know if you get a reply? This is torture isn't it! X

There was only one on the five page document that we were eligible to apply for and we had already contacted them. All other places we have contacted have all been a big fat no. Some positive news from the support fund would be very well received right now for sure!

I wonder if they hold off on this until after all auditions have finished? I'm driving myself crazy second guessing!

Yes hopefully. We haven't heard back yet since submitting our application to this x

If people haven't paid the fee have you still completed the registration form and sent over ID to accept your places?

I had this thought process too. Still living in hope for some financial support x

Does anyone know when decisions might be made with regards to the Hammond Support Fund? I know the deadline was 26th and acceptance fees are due this week, do you think we will hear from them before the deadline for the £160 is due?

I really hope so! Xx

I wonder also when other schools offer their places whether there might start to be a bit of movement? I know of one girl who is a day student who self funds but did get some government help for some health needs. I'm not sure how much though. X

We feel the same. Year 10 entry here. I read somewhere on an older forum post that often MDS funding can be prioritised to lower years. I completely understand the reasoning behind this but I feel it might have been slightly more transparent before applying. £160 seems a large amount of money to pay. It would be much easier if we were allowed to know roughly where we were on the reserve list. Stay strong ladies/gents x

Do you automatically get the funding for the duration of the schooling or do you have to reapply each year? X

Hi all just out of curiosity, how many of you have received MDS funding and at which year group were you in when you applied for it? For no reason, just interested to see if there is a particular year group who are more likely to receive it.

Yes just had that through. Do you think applying for that would affect MDS funding if any became available?
