Jul Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 My daughter is hoping to go to The Hammond for dance diploma starting in Sept 21. Looking for information on suitable accommodation. Really not happy about using university halls for someone so young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancingpanda Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hi my dd is hoping to get funding to join The Hammond dance diploma too. I emailed as was worried about this too . They have boarding for year 12 and then after that they organise themselves with either flat share/ home stay which made me feel a bit better . I have no idea of cost for boarding though yet . Hope this helps . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrapsnBows Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Not sure with 16 year olds atm as they changed accommodation last year but my DD is in her 3 year as a BA and she’s at tramways opposite the train station it’s run by student roost but that may be for the over 18s but it’s lovely staff have been brill over the last year, kept phoning my daughters bubble whilst in isolation asking how they were and if they needed anything also been tough on keeping them safe through Covid as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not find the information on their website and I’m waiting for them to reply to my email. Do you know anything else such as where it is?

WrapsnBows Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Chester is a wonderful city well it’s sort of a large town 🤣 we live 20 mins away on the train and my DD still decided to board for her 3 years of her BA, it has everything during my DD’s 3 years she’s been to the zoo, done escape rooms, been cinema, been around the cathedral, walked the walls, river and canals. To name a few things. And she’s now talking about taking roots there as she loves it in Chester 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes tesco in walking distance, B&M small Sainsbury’s in town along with all major shops, Aldi and home and bargins a bit out but walking distance oh and I think there is a Waitrose just round the corner from my DD flat though she dosnt use that. Plea that if nice pubs and eatery’s apparently, my Dd has had fab fun filming show reels etc around chester this last few weeks even in the amphitheater and gained an audience 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballet4Boyz Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Chester is a truly wonderful city and we’re really sad in a way that our DS is moving away from the Hammond after five years. He’s loved it in Chester and loved his time at lower school. My husband and I still plan to visit every Christmas as the atmosphere with the Christmas market is magical. We will miss Hammonds Christmas Carol Concert .... one of the highlights of our year. Our DS was very happy at the Hammond ...... good luck to all those starting there xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
