Jellybeans Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Moving on from the thread about ranking, does anyone have any information about the number of students that move directly from lower school to upper school in the same institution? I would be interested to know what sort of numbers of existing pupils that are accepted into the 6th form at each of the four main schools and, out of those, how many choose to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 At Tring the fifth formers who had MDS funding were told that they could keep their funding, but they were not allowed to audition anywhere else. On the classical side of things i.e dance 6 and dance 8, I think there are seven girls, I don't know about the boys who are staying and there are six maybe seven who are moving on. The ones moving on had all been awarded DADAs at Tring. I don't know what is happening with the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybeans Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Tulip, are you saying that six of the seven girls offered Dadas a leaving anyway? Do you know where they are going? Does anyone know about any of the other schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomuchtallent Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 If the classical girls at tring turned down dadas then i would of thought that they were offered dadas elsewhere?So tring must be doing well with their ballet for them to secure funding.

Tulip Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I am not having a go a Tring here, just answering the original question. Two are going to Central, one to Rambert, One to the Bolsoi. Two just going back to their home country and one to ENB. They are the ones I know about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 At Elmhurst 6th form audition we were told that numbers varied considerably each year - some years almost everyone was offered and accepted a place at 6th form down to only 2 or 3 in other years. At Hammond we were given the impression that most (though not all and it was emphasized that some fell down at the interview stage and not because of their dancing) were offered a place for 6th form but I believe quite a few chose to go elsewhere. This seems to be especially true for the musical theatre students who feel the bright lights of London beckoning after 5 years of living in Chester.

Seagazer Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 At Elmhurst I believe from the girls, 9 of 18 are going to Elmhurst 6th form, 1 each to ENB, Northern, Royal, Switzerland. Of those staying, some had other offers ( incl. ENB ), but have opted for Elmhurst. The boys, 6 from 12 are staying, 2 are going to RB, 1 to Hamburg, 1 to ENB, 1 on the musical theatre route ( offers from Bird, Laine, ),and 1 is pursuing academic route. I have no idea how many of them were offered a sixth form place, or how many were offered funding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancerbabe82 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Tulip apologies but I don't understand your post. How many from year 11 got places to stay on at Tring? I understand that you say 7 are moving elsewhere but how many are staying on? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Does anyone know whether the choice of available A-levels has a infuence on what people decide? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Yes and the A levels at Tring are wide and of a very good choice. Not many schools offer as many A levels that Tring offer especially in the sciences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfbrew Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 A levels definately influenced my DS. He started with four, dropped Biology but got respectable grades in the other three. He particularly enjoyed Theatre Studies! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 The provision of A levels were definitely among the factors taken into consideration by those at Elmhurst who also had offers at ENB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janabiyah-Jane Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Last year from White Lodge (my daughters year) 6 boys and 6 girls got a place at RBS Upper School, the others went to Elmhurst, ENBS and Central... I think it may be a similar amount this year, but perhaps more girls than boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 How many girls and boys in the year, Jane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janabiyah-Jane Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 How many girls and boys in the year, Jane? Sorry, good point... There were 12 boys and 13 girls, one girl was only 14 so has completed year 11 again. This year I am not too sure I'm afraid, although I would imagine a similar amount. I thought those were good numbers, considering they are up against many students from all over the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 My daughter is one of the ones who is leaving Tring from year 11. She is going to ENBS. She had the offer of continuing her MDS but the school did allow her to audition elsewhere upon discussion of this with her ballet teacher. She has loved her time at Tring and would take her fabulous teacher with her if she could. She just wants to try something new, move to London and have a chance to gain some independence and grow up a little. Tring has a very protected and family feel to it that is a bit of a bubble. I'm glad though that three of her siblings will be able to enjoy what this special school has to offer. My eldest will finish his sixth form there and who knows what lies in store for the younger ones...but they are having a lovely time along the way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Must have been such a tricky decision, kiwimum! Hope your lovely dd has a wonderful and happy time at ENBS. :-) Thanks Jane - yes, pretty good numbers! :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
