Siconne50 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Dd was in the audition for approx 1 hour & 15 mins. Dd tells me it was v.similar to her ja class, parents were able to watch the last 10 mins of the audition which was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach3 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I have the 36 in my head for the number of girls who were at Elm lower school finals last year but I could be wrong. Somebody else might be able to recall with more clarity. There were 42 at White Lodge finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBA Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) I spoke to the principle and Robert Parker afterwards. They invite 180 back for finals and there are 20 - 25 places offered with approx 20 MDS places, so almost every child can be funded ! Hope that helps x Edited November 7, 2012 by margot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach3 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 180? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBA Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 yes that's what she said - very clearly ! I was shocked !! they see just over 400 and invite 180 back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plie Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 When my eldest auditioned they invited back about 40 the same as White Lodge, maybe things have changed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plie Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 By the way , hope it went well Margot and Balletjack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomuchtallent Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Is that 180 for only year 7 or for the whole school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBA Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 It did seem a lot - but perhaps it is for the whole school as there was a 14 year old in the audition class too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybeans Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 180 seems quite unlikely, to be honest, and very precise! It is surely possible that they won't see 180 students who they feel have sufficient potential. It is my understanding that the invite all those that they want to see again to the final and that this number will vary from year to year. he year my dd auditioned there were about 70 girls at the final and we were told that this was unusually high.

primrose Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 When my dd did finals at Elmhurst for 6th form there were two classes for girls and I think one for boys, so that must be at least 60 straight away and that was just for 6th form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBA Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Ok just to clarify, I was told 180 are invited for finals ( they didn't say just for year 7, so it probably is for the whole school), then my next question was about how many get places and MDS' in year 7, to which the answer was approx 20 - 25 places and approx 20 MDS'. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancemaddad Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 My dd was at finals for year 7 last year and there were approx 50 recalled and 13 girls and 8 boys are in year 7 this year but i know of 2 or 3 that havent got mds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
