Sunshine girl Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Just been reading all the posts, has anyone had an offer for Dada sixth form today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonzin Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Has anyone else still not heard back from Tring? I feel like its been an eternity. My daughter was on the waitlist and I emailed to ask if they had an idea where abouts she was/how long it would take them to decide and I've not had a response.... Is anyone else still waiting?? Its so frustrating and it really is taking far too long.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macmac Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I think they said in the letter not to contact them, they will contact you if places become available. 😔 x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to the registrar and she said they want our decision at the end of the month if we take a place with full fees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine girl Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I understand the deadline of the end of the month, most schools have offered now, so only fair to those with multiple offers to decide, freeing up places to waiting list children, who may only have that one reserve place, good luck everyone on deciding and those on waiting lists... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BbcBoy Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hi all sorry for silence we were waiting till 100% confirmed. So proud of DS he got a scholarship for year 7 performance foundation course with boarding! Taken a while to agree as bursary was not as much as we had hoped - I think there is a real struggle this year with covid paying a huge part in not as much funding. So we have taken decision to do what ever it takes to make it work for him, it’s a huge financial commitment but we know he is worth it. I hope all those on wait lists hear soon.

I think chances for most people are very slim which is why they say not to contact them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just it’s better to have a surprise miracle than spend you time agonisingly waiting for a call that’s so unlikely. It’s hard 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take away a handful of MDS already awarded do you think there are now around 50 potential wait listed? 😥🙈 x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flower Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I’m afraid I didn’t hear of anyone who didn’t get waitlisted after finals last year. Be nice if I’m wrong, but I think it’s a long list and a “thanks but No thanks” for most people. Obviously some people are going to be in with a chance but you don’t know. Happy to be proved wrong if anyone wants to say that they got a flat No after finals, but dd was waitlisted last year and this, and this year - first time back in the studio etc - she said herself it wasn’t her best.

Thats great and well done to her/him! I thought Tring was the last one to decide, but obvs there are other schools still waiting for places to be confirmed. I realise that being on the waitlist for Tring doesnt really hold much hope of getting a place, but its a tough wait out none the less. Good luck to everyone waiting on any school waitlist, and huge congrats to those who have had offers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to make a quicker decision, hope I could do it before 1 May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas de Quatre Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Tring Park public exam results This link takes you to the page of results on Tring's website, you should find all the information you are after there. You ought to be able to find something similar for the other schools you are interested in on their websites.

Whiteduvet Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 Tring has an excellent academic reputation. It’s a major reason we were happy to let DC attend: dancing is a hugely vulnerable career and we wanted to be certain she had really good academics to rely on, should she change her mind/dancing not be for her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
