Did you hear about that already? We haven’t heard anything yet. Fingers for year 8 for you. I’m not sure we would go through it again for yr 8, it’s a lot!

I haven’t tried any of the suggested ones they emailed out - it seemed such a big task as lots of them had a cap of £1000 or some where we live and I thought it’s just too big of a challenge to find enough funding and then even if we made it for one year what would we do for the next years. I did do the Hammond support fund so just crossing fingers for that. Hope we all hear some positive news soon. 

We haven’t either but I was near the deadline when I did ours x

There’s still the support fund to hear about yet isn’t there?

I have been feeling the same - absolutely gutted for my daughter and awful that I can’t afford to fund it for her myself.
I assume they over offer places as they expect some may give their funding offer back?

My daughter has taken it better than me really, she is being so grown up and she seems to recognise that it’s a great achievement to get an offer and I’m hoping that pushes her to keep going with her dance. 
Has anyone applied to the support fund? I’m also still in 2 minds about the registration fee - I would be more inclined to pay that if we had an indication of where she is on the waiting list.

I did and the register said they don’t disclose that x

I would feel better about paying the registration fee if I knew where my daughter was roughly on the list, I understand why they keep it confidential but if it’s a lost cause I won’t pay the £160 🤦‍♀️🤣

All funding offers have been sent, so if you haven’t heard, you are right to assume you haven’t been awarded it. We cannot request to know what place they are on the reserve list and we must pay the £160 to secure their place on the reserve list. Fingers crossed for movement over the coming months 🤞x

Did you email the register to find this out? Glad it’s clarified - time to think of different options

Congratulations to everyone xx

That’s a very good point actually, it has definitely helped her to realise how hard she has worked with her dance by having that recognition. Yes my daughter is applying for year 7 x

Aw yes I liked the letter it reminded me of a Hogwarts letter. My only wish is that I had hidden it away until we knew about the funding as we all got so excited when it arrived. 
hope the postman hurries up for everyone x

I replied twice by mistake my head isn’t on 🤦‍♀️🤣

The letter is the same one my daughter received so sounds like positive news, just a waiting game now then for the funding - good luck to everyone xx

She said they will let us know in the coming weeks - very much in limbo. They have auditions at the end of feb too so they would need to see those children before deciding I imagine.

I have emailed this morning and the registrar replied to say all children are assessed for funding but no decisions on funding have been made yet x

So they used to invite you back for funding auditions but this time they said they were doing it all on the audition day  so we found out earlier. Not sure if that means if it’s not mentioned that we haven’t the chance of MDS or that it just hasn’t been decided yet. The not knowing is so hard! 

But then they sent that email saying they were holding offers while they decide funding 🤦‍♀️

Sorry we have been at a comp so busy day and I’ve not had time to reply. Congratulations to all the children and Thankyou for the replies - seems none of us are any the wiser at the moment. I think I’ll send an email on Monday and ask - it’s hard as you can’t get too excited about the offer when the funding isn’t confirmed. 
We did have to fill in funding forms prior to the audition so they will be aware of our financial circumstances, I’m driving myself mad now over thinking it all 🤦‍♀️

My daughter has received an offer letter this morning but it doesn’t mention anything about funding. Obviously she’s so happy but she understands without funding it won’t be doable x

Good morning, does anyone know how we find out if a place is funded once we receive an offer letter? Good luck to everyone waiting to hear x
