The group that came out before his I don’t think there were any boys in it. There were a few children looked taller than the rest in his group but no idea whether it was mixed age group.

BalletBoyMumma Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I mean, they are all lovely of course, I was just so relieved when DS came out beaming and saying everyone in the group were friendly and they had lots of fun. It certainly made the day worthwhile. It’s good to hear the other sessions were like that too. It must make a huge difference to their confidence if they are happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BbcBoy Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 So am I right in thinking if no scholarship offered then it’s still not means tested and that it’s full fees? or is it all children in final MDA audition could get offered something? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks No, the MDS funding audition is for means tested funded places and not scholarships. They only give out 3 in year7 from what I have been told and then a few to the rest of the school. If you don’t get a funded places you need to fund the fees yourself 😳 A reason why we opted out of Tring and just went for RBS and Elmhurst x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yrosered Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hi, does anyone who attended last weekend's auditions have any tips for covid friendly Tring? We're staying at the Premier Inn the night before but of course, no food is available including breakfast. Did anyone get takeaways delivered and what did you do for the 2.5 hours of the audition with no cafes etc open? All tips gratefully received!

We got a takeaway delivered to the premier inn but there wasn’t a lot of choice on JustEat, it’s a very small place. For breakfast we took our own, just fruit and croissants and yoghurts. On the day of the audition it ended up raining so we did a small walk around and then came back to the car to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reach it from the Natural History Museum car park. The path leads you over the A41 and up into the park to the south of Tring. It is up hill and will be wet underfoot so take boots or good walking shoes at this time of year. The views are lovely and you an look back down on the school, if you go far enough. There is plenty of time for a really good walk and it's quick enough to get back down in time for pick-up wherever you end up getting to in it!

Mrs Tea Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Costa was open at the weekend for snacks etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Kitty Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The farmers' market will be open if you are there on a Friday. Plenty of places for take-way drinks and snacks and a M&S food. Off the High Street and down a lane so not so easy to find but it is there and handy. Would recommend Espresso Lounge for good coffee and cake. They are at the bottom end of the High Street between the Robin Hood pub and the car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarabelle Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Does anyone have any idea how many scholarships they tend to give out each year? Particularly for the junior performance course as they don’t qualify for Mds My daughter had her funding audition today (for year 8 entry) but no word on what maybe available or how many are generally invited to audition at this stage? She had a lovely morning, said all the staff were really friendly and she came out smiling! Well done to others who have already auditioned and good luck to those yet to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BbcBoy Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 It is so unclear, hoping we all find out soon. Does anyone else know if there are any more auditions this week or are they done? my DS was in first group yesterday and came out beaming had such a good morning. Good luck to everyone 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
