Guess I'm posting this because I want to say if you get a No, just keep going....we had a No last year. It's also weird when you get actually get the Yes when you're so completely braced for a no.....it doesn't really sink in...3 hours after reading email and telling DD, I'm still a bit glazed and can't quite bring myself to tell the world yet... Good luck people. What a journey! Congratulations on your year 6 place at Eastleigh. It is a lovely group and teacher. We shall look forward to meeting you in September. xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julsgalaxy Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Congratulations to all the yes’ and hugs to all the not yets 😘 This waiting has sure taken patience but so happy to finally get the email for Eastleigh yesterday....DS got a yes for a YR4 London place 😃So happy and proud of him ❤️ Whats the the difference between the offer of 32 places and 24 sessions ? I’m tempted to think that 32 sessions is given according to talent? Or would age come into play eg the younger ones might be offered 24 sessions? I’m just trying to wonder who they offer 32 sessions to and why and the same for 24 sessions.....probably overthinking it all 😊 xxx 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have a very long distance to travel, other children, pre-existing extracurricular activities etc, surely some people will *want* a slightly lower time commitment?

AllAboutTheJourney Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 We are waiting for the last London group... patiently patiently... 😉 In terms of the number of sessions @ExBallerina I think it's largely down to personal preference, if DD is lucky enough to get a place we will be travelling v far and we wouldn't want to do it every week. She also would be missing a whole day of normal Saturday classes at her own dance school so we definitely wouldn't want to do that (so have requested 24 sessions only). I have however read on here before that someone had asked for 24 sessions and was offered 32 as their DS had started late and RBS felt he needed to do more to catch up and get his strength up I believe.

When my DD was offered a year 6 place at Birmingham they offered 24 sessions. I requested 24 or 32 when applying, when we received the result I emailed RBS and said that if there were spaces on the 32 class we were happy to take it, and they moved her across straight away as there was a space. I don't think its comes down to talent or travel etc, I think it probably just how the administrators allocate it. Good Luck to everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thank you all, will just be glad for the waiting to be over now! Resigned to the fact that it will be a no as my dd just doesn't have the flexibility at present but she is working hard at it so I am sure we will be back here next year, at least I will be prepared for the wait - I honestly expected the results last week, they are really not quick about it are they?! xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudDanceDad Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Great to hear the good news stories coming from this thread, obviously some very talented boys and girls up and down the country.

Keyben Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Hi All Not posted on here before. My son is currently a London JA. Just received an email from them inviting us to watch his last class of the term, but with the following comment. “Apologies if you have received this email before, we are having issues sending emails through our new data base. Please see below what was emailed out yesterday.” Might explain the delay in some of your results.
