Frappé Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 When I attended the audition on 2 March, I thought I heard the Principal say that there are 13 MDS available but these would be allocated to years 7, 8 and 9. Did I hear correctly? I am a little deaf lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty’s mum Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 My daughter auditioned on 20th Jan, we were told 11MDS will be awarded for yr 7 this year, more than normal we were advised. I believe the6 also have some nice bursaries available as well. Just have to keep fingers crossed it goes ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the letter inviting to funding audition also a guaranteed offer of a place to join school if one can fund another way? Imagine if there are up to the mentioned 52 at a lower school funding audition day & they all accepted places with or without funding? I doubt the lower school across the year groups could take in such a large new cohort yet if they’ve taken your money by way of a non refundable registration fee then my layman understanding would be that they have entered into a contract with the payer. So if this Registration fee is requested upfront then I personally would want very clear written explanation of what it is & the refund status. I am sure all can be resolved.... To my knowledge there are no additional charges for attending funding auditions elsewhere.... (there may occasionally be requests for separate medical/physio assessments/certificates of fitness etc which could incur a private practitioner charge or letter fee - but that I would expect would be payable to practitioner not a school) Good luck to all.... this admin stuff is the added irritation we parents have to put up with sadly! Hope all get happy training & schooling outcomes long term! I thought we only paid £160 if we were accepting the place which we wouldn’t know until the result of the MDA ? I’m I wrong with this . I returned all information but not paid the fee as accepting the place will depend of MDA outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flower Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I didn’t phone the school but paid the fee because everyone here said you have to. If you’re not sure phone them. Let us know! (I’ll be gutted if I’ve wasted my money though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelly123 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 They haven’t chased me as yet for the money . I’ll pay tomorrow.

Tutusrus Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Agree! We were in same situation and I advised we wouldn’t be accepting place without MDS too May have changed this year though so worth checking ? 7 hours ago, Shelly123 said: They haven’t chased me as yet for the money .

Mummy twinkle toes Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 No but it states their building will close Friday. I imagine their priority is to organise current children and then we will probably get an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are lucky it is our closest school so very happy. Fingers crossed 🤞 you hear good news soon. Edited March 19, 2020 by Betty’s mum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
