Daintydancer Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I did ring Georgia earlier, there wasn’t much she would give away, only that this was a tough year with over 1400 applicants. She said she couldn’t say how many were on waiting list and there was no particular order. It’s just a case of wait and see 😬☹️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jete Battu Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 21 hours ago, ExpatB said: Apologies if this has been asked before. I know nothing about the SWL. Has anyone ever had luck finding out their DC’s position on the waiting list (chances)? How really short is that list? I’ve heard anecdotes of people getting places off the list, but no one I personally know. I’ve already responded “yes please” to the list, but have no idea of the chances. I’m heartbroken for DD who who thinks “she’s kind of in and it’s just a matter of time now”. I can’t tell her that she’s wrong or that she’s right... and she’s too small to understand. We got SWL last year for Eastleigh but nothing materialised for my DD. They do call if spaces appear so don’t give up hope just yet; just a heads up though, the 2 terms that they refer to that you stay on the list for, only actually takes you up to Christmas, not Easter as we’d thought. My DD was lucky enough to be offered a space at her 2nd attempt and is just coming to the end of her JA training (she’s Y6). She’s again back on SWL for Mids, so full circle to where she started. Numbers on that list (Mids) could be quite high; there were 5 girls from her centre alone that were offered SWL! We had no clue how many there were likely to have been on the JA list when she was on it and hadn’t a clue how to find out. Thankfully, she has the determination to keep going so we’ll be back again trying for Mids next year. Got to stay positive in all this. Good luck and hope you’re lucky enough to get the longed for call 🤞🏻 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jete, the letter we got specifically states that we’d only be kept on the SWL until OCTOBER. Quote: ”We are often able to successfully place one or two wait-listed candidates up to and within the first few classes of September, however, if you have not been contacted by 01 October then it will mean we are unable to offer a place this year.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daintydancer Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Apologies for being daft but I’m not sure which year my daughter would go into. She was 9 in may, year 4 at school. Would that mean she would go into yr 5 ja? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balletsister Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 My DD wasn’t successful after 2 attempts at JAs but I found this forum a mixed blessing at the time. This was because a disproportionate amount of Yes’s get posted. As quoted, numbers applying are huge so the vast majority will receive a no. I don’t want this to sound like a negative post, more a reality check for all those who haven’t posted, but may read the forum and may not have got a yes. As we all know lots that don’t make JAs enjoy success in other schemes like LCB, EYB and other associates. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know that is not a thing - the yeses and no’s come out at more or less the same time, it seems they do it by audition order, year 6 results generally come first as they generally audition the oldest first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas de Quatre Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Photos are not that important, just a point of reference as children can change so quickly at that age It is what they see in front of them in the audition that counts - most candidates will have noticed that the panel is makes notes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t matter one scrap that you’re Dd was not looking well that day. They are looking at the photos for physical purposes only. Leg length versus body length, feet, neck length etc. Experts can also tell a fair bit about hip rotation from a photo too, although I’m not sure that’s applicable for JA photos. It also won’t matter what quality the photos are providing they can see what they need to see! Photos in your living room are fine. Your photos will be kept on file for future reference and so they can begin to build a profile of potential students. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
