Babyballerinamum 4 Posted Tuesday at 10:31 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:31 No. We used it last year. No way to see views that I found. Used YouTube this year for that reason! I find the website really confusing on whether there will be second in person auditions. At one point it says all those who submit will be invited to another audition. In another, it says they might invite some to in person auditions if the situation allows. I guess some of the website is out of date 🤷🏼♀️ I’m going to try and forget about it abs just roll with whatever happens. My DD will likely do better in person tv off she gets that chance Link to post Share on other sites

But it sounds like if we are going to hear in April they must have started looking at the applications. Has anyone had a view yet? We haven’t. At least it won't be the nearly year long process as it was last year 😀 Link to post Share on other sites

It’s published in their annual report usually. If you google RBS annual report it will give a link to them. 2018/19 is the latest one published I think. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think they've published the figures for the last 2 years yet...last years figures were unusual due to covid...they took a lot less due to covid (our JA teacher told us). I don't think there is anything official though. They normally take around 10/15% of those who audition but it varies by centre....x Link to post Share on other sites

SarahG1881 34 Posted Thursday at 10:03 Share Posted Thursday at 10:03 Can anybody give a rough estimate of how many apply for year 5 and how many gain a place? Are we looking at a couple of hundred per year, per centre or much less/much more? Link to post Share on other sites

But if the school still has to social distance students in the studio maybe there won’t be ??? And the junior engagement programme will be going for another year ? Link to post Share on other sites
In at the deep end 21 Posted Thursday at 15:28 Share Posted Thursday at 15:28 @SarahG1881 I was told last year that around 10% applications are successful. In previous years, around 1000 children applied, so that means only 100 places are available across years 4-6 in all centres. Most yr6 clases are separate, I believe. Leaving a mix of yr4/5. However, this year more places might be available as they took so few last year due to Covid? That's my understanding. It still means JA is a hard group to get into! Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea , I was just wondering how long social distancing in classes was going to last. Hopefully by sept there won’t be and they’ll be taking the usual amount of students so no need for the extra JEP programme . Link to post Share on other sites
Balletbuds80 25 Posted Thursday at 18:18 Share Posted Thursday at 18:18 If we are on track with the roadmap out then there will be no more restrictions on social contact from 21st June which would suggest all would be back to life as we knew it by then 🤞🏻 So hopefully full size classes by then also. Has anyone had a view yet? I am doubtful they are going to get through all the videos and let us know in April as suggested in an earlier post. Last year the Y6 were separate and it took them a month to go though the Y4&5 by each Centre. Link to post Share on other sites

Brittw84 0 Posted Friday at 11:01 Share Posted Friday at 11:01 Hi everyone, first timer to auditioning for y4 place this time. I only chose Manchester as we live in North Wales. Wondering if I should have picked other options like Leeds etc too now. Also looking to audition for Elmhurst but there doesn't seem to be a date yet. When do they usually open their applications?
