Hi Dramascientist, I know exactly how you feel............ same for us only for 1st form, DD has being amazing about it and thrilled to have been offered a place but so sad too, she knew a yes for dance course and boarding with a no for funding was the same as a no. First thing she said this morning was I wish I was at the funding finals today Mommy. She wants to audition again next year to try to join her brother xx
