So lovely - I think it might have been your DD’s that’s been passed on. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me feel so much happier for giving up dds place, that someone else will benefit from it, as hammond is a excellent School, the teaching is outstanding and it’s such a happy place to be xx 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie2011 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Just found out today that my dd has been offered a place at Central upper school. She is so happy. That is the fourth offer she has so there are some big decisions to make in the next couple of days. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belleballerina Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I don't often post as my dd is not now classical ballet - she is going to Laine in September but so happy reading all these positive places - I echo - keep positive and if your dc want it enough and work they will get there in the end . 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tia I have no idea if this is true or not Ballet4ever, but they did say on the day that all the auditions were recorded, so hopefully they can just review candidates on the video when places become available. I hope your Dd gets her place there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash1410 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hi everyone, I am extremely new to this process and hoped to ask for information/advice re Hammond. My DD is on the waiting list and from what I know is close to the top, which in itself is an amazing achievement. But I’ve seen on the feed that people are giving back their MDS places due to going elsewhere. If you have been at the top of the reserve list and since been offered MDS, would it be possible to ask the very personal question about what place your DD/DS was, as I can’t get answers as to whether or not my DD is moving up the list. I’m not normally a nervous parent and have no knowledge about the dance scene, but really wanted to know if I should keep my fingers crossed or move on with life. Thanks everyone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaside H Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Thank you to everyone’s support and advice as my dd wasn’t lucky enough to be offered MDS or high enough on the list to be considered we have emailed Hammond today declining our offer with bursary so we can move on with our life. Good luck to everyone is waiting and congratulations to everyone that has been successful 💕 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyLou Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 @Flash1410 it's an awful feeling being so unsure of what a happening. I've no idea if my dd is near the upper end of reserve list as it's not very clear on how many were actually on reserve. What I do know from last year though is that a few kids were very lucky and ended up with MDS in July! @Seaside H I hope your dd tries again next year, she did so well to make it this far. My dd was lucky enough to get a place on our local CAT scheme last summer and really enjoys her lessons there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balletbean Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I feel for all of you awaiting the decision on funding for US. Whilst our system isn’t perfect (£ limits) the local authority offers funding for each pupil that have at least 2 x Level 3 or equivalent (A-level) examinations. My research recently revealed RAD Grade 6 and above are also level 3. Which confused the Dept completely as they automatically think 18yrs not 16yrs for Funding. My claim to fame is I’ve now educated the Education Dept on their own criteria 😂 Each pupil then can select their choice of establishment for Higher Education. Incl those on the CDET list. 🤔 🤞🏼 You all receive what you hope and are waiting for. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuziQ Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hi all. New to the forum. Just wondering if anyone has had results from ENBS Finals two weeks ago? All previous communication has been via email but we've received nothing yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Welcome to the forum SuziQ and good luck on the results. Hopefully there will be others on here with recent experience (my son's result came on the day off his audition but that was a scary 9 years ago now!!!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amos73 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I know the y11 students from my dd school all had their enbs results last week so I would contact enbs and ask what has happened to your email or letter. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora in waiting Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Morning I’ve only been on this forum for a couple of weeks and have as they say been “lurking in the shadows” whilst doing my spot of lurking I have found it be really useful and have gained lots of valuable information from various topic posts so thanks to you all and would like like wish all your dc the very best of luck for their futures and a huge well done to all the parents who are supporting their dc like me who has a dd and recently done “the rounds” with auditions, it’s quite an emotional rollercoaster and even though she has been dancing since the age of 3 I find there is always something I have to learn or get my head around in the world of dance. Very best wishes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously know them well!! CDET Vocational Schools are Tring, ENBS, Elmhurst, NBS, The Hammond. The others on the list are more MT based. Central are under the Connservatoire and RBS offer their own funding scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
