Flower Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi All Has anybody with an MDS audition for Tring in march been sent any paperwork to complete or anything else? I replied to say we would attend and have since only received an email about the scheme. Should I have had more? Worried I have missed something.

Madtil Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi, We received the timings and details in the original offer letter along with the financial forms that need to be returned 5 days before the audition. Hope that helps x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdageKitty Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Oh dear! I think I missed that part regarding the financial forms. Thank you for mentioning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdageKitty Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I've just double-checked and we've only received the cover letter, a slip confirming attendance for the funding audition and forms regarding personal insurance. Am I missing something? Edited February 28, 2020 by AdageKitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madtil Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 We had 2 pages, double sided, of questions regarding quite in depth income information. Why don’t you give the registrar a call, Adelia, she is very helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoDancers Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) As far as I can see; if you've been invited for the MDS audition, all you had to do was return the form on the letter to confirm you can attend and to leave the other registration forms for the moment. My letter says that registration forms will be re-sent if a funded offer is made. We didn’t receive any finance forms.

Was it 8:30 or 9? Goodness I’m useless. Ive searched the house but not found that original letter yet. Yes it’s for yr 7 entry.

They said two weeks and it was, but yours might be quicker as I think for some groups it was more like a week. Was it dance? What year for? hope that helps.

She’s got a really nice secondary school place though, and personally I’d rather she didn’t go to tring! But I had to let her try, otherwise it will be my fault forever 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess dreams Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 We received an email today from the school to fill out an initial form before the DADA audition, it needs to be back a week before the audition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flower Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thanks. I emailed yesterday to fess up and ask them to email or send me anything I needed, but they’ve not replied yet. I guess all I *really-* need is to know what time they have to be there and what they need to take. Thanks for that. I hope I hear soon x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash DD Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I don't suppose that anyone has found any links to local host families? just checking in case my Daughter gets a DaDA award and the boarding places do not become available?, but preparing for plan B as well?

Madtil Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hi, I enquired about host families for my DD going into yr 10 and was advised that there were no families that would host someone of her age. If you are looking for 6th form it may be different. I contacted Nicky Milne at the school. Hope that helps x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but from what i hear they will over subscribe the entry (as in say they take 25 they will offer 35, possibly more) and expect the extra to decline for the place, and then they again over subscribe for the DaDA auditions, where they will only offer a few (don't know how many) awards but I would think 10 or less, and the ones that don't get awards they can take a place still if they can afford it.....I expect most don't (certainly will be in our case, no award, cannot go).....pretty tough this Dance business eh! ( I am basing this on 6th form entry of what I have heard) Edited March 7, 2020 by Ash DD addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygirlsmum Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I was assuming that there will be the cohort of lower school students progressing to upper school (I don’t think they need to audition with the rest) so I guess very few places. I wondered if they invite lots to finals. Dd will not be going anywhere without funding, in all honesty I’m not sure we can afford it even with dada 😢 but I will cross that bridge if it comes to it. Good luck to your DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to your DC. From what they said realistically there will be 8-12 newbies, the rest from lower school, just depends on how many decide not to go to 6th form, how many get a place at Elmhurst or the Royal, how many decide to do something different, and how many are not deemed good enough to go into 6th form. So I suspect they give places to perhaps 20 newbies, then of them most will be offered a DaDA audition........and a few will get them. then like you, not sure if we can go for it if we get an award, but crossing that bridge if we get to it.... Good luck with your DC too :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to have a realistic guide if only to manage expectations of gaining a non Yr7 place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
