Whiteduvet Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi DD has been offered a place at Tring for September (letter has just arrived!). It says though that they can’t guarantee a boarding place yet. Is this normal? Is it safe to accept a day place (we live the other end of the country)?! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteduvet Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Thank you! She’s on a zoom lesson right now so I’m enjoying the secret for another 15mins!! Good luck to your DC xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaF Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Well done to your DD! Amazing news! I'm not 100% but a friend's experience was similar a few years back - think boarding places are confirmed after funding audition. Hopefully someone better informed will be along soon 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Congratulations! Has your DD been invited to the funding audition? Also do you need funding or can you take up the place anyway, lots of things come into play. If you are keen then you could accept the place subject to boarding being available. Unless they have changed the system it always used to be one of three alternatives in the first letter. A plain "no", a plain "yes", so you would be self funding, or a "yes" with invitation to Funding audition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may need to accept subject to a bed being free: it sounds like it’s reasonable to expect that will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum of unicorn dancer Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Congratulations. We got postman visit too and I am in shock - it is yes for DD with invite to funding audition.

Ballet Power Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 My DD has been offered a day place too with the same comments about a boarding place may become available. She hasn’t been invited to the funding audition so we will have to turn it down. Not sure how they give out the boarding places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 We’ve got the same, no guarantee of a boarding place but an invite to funding audition for my DS. We are in the North East so we couldn’t do it without a boarding place anyway! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshiredancemum Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 My DD has been offered a place, and a funding audition. However, we can only accept with a boarding place. Well done to everyone! X 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raquelle Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi everyone..my dd was offered a place but not a funding audition. However I have been watching views and her video doesn't appear to have been watched....I've contacted the registrar but I am confused as to whether they have maybe made a decision without watching the video. My dd is so upset as she can't go without funding and she loved the look of Tring. Has anyone else had this? X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X Hi congratulations on being offered a place, that is a really good achievement in itself. They must have watched the video for them to have offered a place, there will be lots of no's, so being offered a place is fab but disappointing at the same time.

It doesn't make sense to me...I suppose I just want to make sure after going through all the effort of making video that it was actually watched x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raquelle Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Ps well done to everyone so sorry didn't mean to sound negative. It has been a hard day and I might have been a bit abrupt.

Whiteduvet Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Not at all negative. This is a hard process for everyone, even more so when things aren’t clear or straightforward.

TwirlyWhirly Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Congratulations to everyone on this posting who has had positive news today! My DS didn't apply to Tring, so no news here, but happy for so many others on the forum... This must also mean the other schools must be nearing the end of their decision making?

Busymum Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Congratulations everyone with your results and I'm sorry for the ones who haven't had the response they hoped for. It's an arduous process. Regarding boarding please try not to worry. They changed to this working about 5/6 years ago but they always seem to find boarding for people who need it. Definitely of you receive funding then a bed is there too and if you can only attend with boarding then they seem to find it. Thinking of you all for the rest of the remaining time until this is all over. The horrible not knowing and worry regarding September is awful.

I posted on the wrong thread earlier but just wanted to say ds has a place with no funding. The also would want the registration deposit by the 22nd of Feb which might be earlier than we hear from other schools.

Bunny Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 How are people returning the funding audition slips? I’ve emailed ours back to Adelia yesterday to see if an email copy would be acceptable, but haven’t heard back so am thinking it would probably be better to post it today, just to be on the safe side! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
