double trouble Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hi havnt been on here for a while as all was going well . Youngest daughter got a half price scholarship for Ldn Theatre Sch she really loved the audition as jazz and commercial is what she wants to do , however last wk end we get an email saying the sch has gone into liquidation !! My daughter has been devastated and doubt if we will get the 6000 pounds back !! I researched the sch before it's been there 15 yrs!! I rang round few schools Ldn area as she wants to live at home also we can just about afford fees but won't be able to afford accommodation . All the schools are full as term is starting so we thought back to training and have to audition nx year. I got in touch with millennium they are only about 45 mins train journey away from us they have a place on their foundation course and she can audition for it . Does anyone here know anything about it ? I know it has CDET accreditation and they seem to have lots of students getting work . If she gets a place she is saying she wants to take it especially as she will prob be doing more hours trainjng that what she is doing now so hopefully will give her a chance for auditions nx year. Any info would be appreciated . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Oh no what rotten news Can't help with your query, but I really hope you manage to get something sorted out for your DD and that you can recover your money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Sorry I don't know anything about Millenium but what a fraught time for you all. I hope you get something sorted quickly and your money back. Good luck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Same sentiments here. The thought of losing six thousand pounds. Oh my goodness. Is there any legal advice you could take to see if there is any way of recovering some of the money? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletqs Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Millennium is excellent, Mr McLennan is so caring about the students and they have their own agency. They have to do a ballet class every day on the diploma course as a core to their training and they have excellent very experienced teachers. They also offer the Maddox jazz which is super strengthening. They get a fantastic all round training and seem to do well with jobs. If you can manage it Id say go for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double trouble Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks 4 replies. We have been told by solicitors that r dealing with the liquidation that it could be 6 mths before we know if any money will be repaid but they said best to think you won't get it back !! We don't even know what has happened ! The sch was still auditioning two wks ago !! I'm so mad !!! There were students coming from All over England that would of paid big deposits to rent while at the school ! To be honest the money is very annoying as I have 4 daughters and we aren't millionaires !! But the stress on my youngest when she was so excited to go is what had upset me the worse ! Will let u know if we get any of it back , has made me realise that best to only consider the schools that have the CDET!! Thanks for info balletqs just have to hope she does well in audition. She hasn't danced hardly at all in summer hols as we told her to have rest before she started new sch !! X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circe Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 What a terrible stressful situation to be in doubletrouble. I hope you manage to get another school sorted and get your money back eventually. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Goodness me! What a worry. :-( Millenium has a very good reputation and seems to also have an excellent graduate employment record. I do hope you get some or hopefully all your money back! For their three year course I believe Millenium gets DaDa funding, if that's any help for next September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Millennium is excellent and the Diploma was DD's top choice. But when DD didn't get funding we researched she thinks she remembers that the fountion was only half days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pups_mum Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 That's great news. Obviously the money situation is still awful but it's great that she has got on the 3 year course - she must have impressed them. You never know, it may prove to be even better than the original plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double trouble Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thanks everyone . Pups mum millennium is definitely better than other sch but at the time we were looking we didn't look at performing arts sch as she isn't a singer !! Just shows we should of looked into it more !! Will let u all know if we get money back but not hopeful ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
