Just booked our PCR test for 3rd April. There are still appointments available although not many.  We have one excited DD here!

Thanks Lucyj - did they say that they would be able to be processed within 48 hours despite the bank hols/Easter?

Any idea when we might hear about Summer intensive results? We put in a last minute application but not holding out much hope as we know a lot of places will have gone to those who should have attended last year.....we didn't apply last year though.

Hello sunrise - do we know that places are prioritised for last summer applications or is this just a thought that makes sense?

I was under the impression that if they had a place offered from last year when it couldn't happen, then they had a place this year. Plus some kids who attended the online ones have also been given direct entry....so don't have to apply.

Thank you 😃

Places were not carried forward and those with places last year have to apply for this year.  Those who were given direct entry still had to submit an application for the dates they wanted through the application portal.  I heard of a number of direct entry so there may well be fewer places this year especially if there is still an element of social distancing.  They have added an additional face to face week and there is a week of on-line classes which I assume will be the same as last year so an additional opportunity.  Good luck to those who have applied.

Hi there, they didn't say either way, however there was no notification to suggest otherwise.  I might give them a call to find out though

Sunrise - DD had a place last year with no rollover to this year. Still playing the waiting game 

Thanks!!! I was sure I had read somewhere that they were carrying then over. I know YBS has, as dd has her place from last year for this year.

Yes she is.....she was going to be a day student but we can't make that work as we only have one car now. So changed her place to residential

Same as us. There aren’t many staying in that age group as I asked when I changed it from a day place.

My 11 yo daughter had a place for last summer and on waiting list for this spring. I wonder if they will offer any places for international students with all the travel restrictions going on. Hopefully results will be sent soon. The waiting game is not fun for the parents 😅. good luck everyone!

Interesting they're now saying results will be out by mid-March for the Summer Intensive. I feel sick every time I get an email! As someone else said, goodness knows how they're administering the return to school, organising the Spring Intensive, running White Lodge and Upper School auditions, selecting children for the Summer Intensive and working their way through JA video auditions...all at the same time! Fingers crossed everyone!
