Mouseys mum 6 Posted September 23, 2018 Hi my daughter wants to apply for the RBS spring intensive and summer school for 2019. She isnt bothered which one she attends if she is even lucky enough to receive a place (she knows its a huge long shot). Question I have though ....can we do one application and one application fee to cover all 3 options? Or do we do a seperate application for spring intensive and one for summer school? I have emailed and asked but no reply yet. Also has anyone applied and know when we will be notified of results? Is a week for spring intensive long enough? Has anyone had a child attend? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valentina 192 Posted September 23, 2018 I can’t answer all your questions but my Dd loved the Spring Intensive. She has done both Summer and Spring and enjoyed both for different reasons. The Summer tends to be mainly foreign students ( only 4 British students in her group) and the classes were technically a little more challenging. Spring was easier to make friends as more home students. Think this is possibly due to the spring Intensive in Hong Kong which obviously attracted the Australian and Asian students. Not sure if this is the situation this year though. I’m not sure how old your Dd is but 1 week is plenty as the day is long and challenging, happy and tiring. I think it will be separate applications and fees. They are usually pretty strict and organised about these things due to the huge numbers of applications. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flowerpot 105 Posted September 23, 2018 You apply for both Spring and Summer intensives on the 1 application form. That is how it reads to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vonrothbart 525 Posted September 23, 2018 My GDD did a couple of summer schools four or five tears ago, one year there were quite a lot of foreigners, and the other there weren't that many. I think one week is fine as they do work hard, like most she really enjoyed her stays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bellaballerina's mum 27 Posted October 1, 2018 Can anyone tell me when the decision about Spring Intensive comes out? I know its only just opened - not wanting to jump the gun - just wondering about booking of holidays etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise81 136 Posted October 2, 2018 Photo requirements for a ten year old girl? Is it bare legs and no shoes, or socks and shoes? I'm sure it says somewhere! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coniger 117 Posted October 2, 2018 In my ds application for spring and summer this year he wore a mixture of bare feet and socks and ballet shoes in the photos and they let him in both spring and summer so don’t think it hugely matters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mouseys mum 6 Posted October 7, 2018 Just completing application form. On the last page there is a question regarding access requirements. Does anyone know what this question related too? You have to enter something in the box and I dont understand what the question is!! Help?!! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jan McNulty 17,874 Posted October 7, 2018 I can't answer specifically for this but usually questions on forms about "Access" are asking whether somebody needs help eg mobility help, visual impairment help, hearing help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jan makes avalid point that it's often a standard Equality Act reasonable adpatations based question, access needs are not just mobility ( hearing impairments, visual impairments, ASD , dyslexia etc can all lead to a need for reasonable adaptations to the adminstrative side of a selection process ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depending on the age of the applicant there maybe space to comment if the main carer/parent/chaperone has difficulty for access. An important factor if the specific requirements means a child has to be signed in and out daily by an adult and that adult can't access the facilities.incl the theatre/hall used for the end of week performances ie ENBS is a classic example 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiaramum 48 Posted November 6, 2018 We got waiting list. I was expecting a NO as DD was lucky enough to go last year to the summer course. Still feel really sad for her and I know she will be disappointed but she will keep trying. Good luck to all those waiting for their emails Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAK 361 Posted November 6, 2018 A no for DD1. Don't think she'll be too worried though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkbeans 29 Posted November 6, 2018 DD has wait list. Anyone know how long wait list is or what the chances of getting a place are? I’ll take it as almost certainly a no, but just carry on waiting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Email came today though saying she has a place for this year so I guess it's worth applying again even if a place doesn't come up this year. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlexyNexy 76 Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) As for waiting lists, it all depends how far down on the list the child is. I always took waiting list as "no" and moved on with other plans. Edited November 7, 2018 by FlexyNexy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise81 136 Posted November 7, 2018 So a little Facebook search showed a boy in Australia has a yes for summer! I had forgotten what the waiting was like for things - haven't done it for two years nearly since waiting for JA results! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
