charlie4dancin Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Can anyone help with possible timings for the finals please? Did anyone go to the y7 final last year? We just want to try and sort out trains/hotels thank you... Cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi'smom Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hi Charlie The only thing i know is that it is a full day so a hotel the night before may be best if you have a distance to travel. No idea of finishing times though - sorry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebell Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Why don't you give the school a ring-the staff at Elmhurst are particularly friendly and helpful or send an email (as it is half term now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested Parent Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Can anyone help with possible timings for the finals please? Did anyone go to the y7 final last year? We just want to try and sort out trains/hotels thank you... Cx My DD went to the Yr 7 finals 2 years ago and we needed to be there by 9.30 latest and I remember picking her up at 3.30 although they had said it could be 4pm. Hope that helps!

charlie4dancin Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thank you for that info!! Are we not needed at any point during the day then?? Cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interested Parent Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi C4D - I remember that we had a tour of the accommodation and a chat with the housekeeper, which took us up to about 10.30/11am. We then had to leave and not come back until the end. If you are driving you can of course go into the city centre for the rest of the day. Your other option is to take the bus from outside the school - I am sure other parents have taken this option and could advise on bus numbers, pick-up/drop offs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie4dancin Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thank you very useful interested parent we will be getting the train to Birmingham so I think a trip up to Birmingham/bullring may be calling Cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 We went to Ikea - took one of the other mums who was on her own We were there for finals 5 years ago so I have hazy memories of it now, but I do remember the look on one of the mum's faces when it became clear that there were a handful of us there from WL with children who had been "assessed out" - she had no idea that could happen and thought once they were in a school that was it. The other thing I remember was being made to feel very welcome (and that I thought the boys' boarding houses could do with a lick of paint - I'm still not impressed with the grey corridors!). Have a great day everyone and best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w445403 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 If you get the bus from the station it's really easy and only takes about 10 mins - depending on traffic. Buy a day ticket as they are good value if you are going to go back in to the centre during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach3 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi ladies (and some gents maybe?), I didn't realise we would be told to go away and come back but I suppose it makes sense really. Especially if the school is trying to function normally that day. Does anybody know if it is the same for WL finals? Thanks x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana Lily Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi Peach 3, When we went to WL finals for girls y7 on a Saturday last year you were allowed to stay at the school in the upper dinning room area, however you will need to take your own packed lunch and drinks. Tea/coffee and buscuits are provided on arrival, but its a very long day. Not sure about finals on a Friday when its a regular school day (last year that was for Boys and y 8 and 9 girls, the year before all lower school girls were on the Saturday, it depends on how many they take to finals). Wishing everyone Good Luck for the finals. NL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieW Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I think they take the students out of school on the Friday at WL on a "visits day" if my memory serves me right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie4dancin Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Emails are out from elmhurst for y7 finals today... It's 8.45 arrival and we go back at 2.30 for the tour Cx That is group 2, group 1 tour is 12.30 Edited February 14, 2012 by charlie4dancin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingPixie Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 You can stay all day at WL, as they take the students out on visits that day. The students arrive back usually in time to see the auditionees and can spend a short time with them if they know them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyG Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Our letter arrived in the Easter holidays same day as the Central letter, they do take an awful long time to let you know, it can't take them this long to decide. Good luck to all still waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Living the Dream Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I have spoken to Elmhurst today and the letters are ready to be posted either today or tomorrow at the latest. Not long to wait now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
