balletboy8 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I've been told that they were looking at oversea students after the boy's days last week and that it will be 4 to 5 days into next week before we hear anything . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancermom Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Hi, would anyone in this thread have any idea how many girls for year 8 entry would have been invited to the Elmhurst finals? X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know why they call the international students in on different dates to the UK candidates? On the website it states ‘All successful candidates will attend a final audition in London’ so it can’t be that they’re assessing videos, they must be in person auditions. I don’t see why they’d separate them, surely they would want to be able to compare them to the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past in the finals there were always international students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julsgalaxy Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Another 2 weeks sounds like torture (at least they said)🙈 We can’t go to the Tring MDS final tomorrow as we all have covid which is so disappointing as tomorrow is the only day they are doing it they had said after letting them know. Also, what are you all doing about your “regular” secondary schools allocation….I have yet to fill out all the forms to accept DS place at our local school thinking we might know one way or another any day now results wise but as it’s going to take longer, are you all accepting their regular school place now?

Oh that's such a shame about Tring. So you can't be considered for the funding now??? That seems a little harsh :-(. I think with regards to secondary schools, unless it's fee paying then just accept it and then decline later if you are lucky enough to get another place. If it's fee paying, I have no idea 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw sorry that's rubbish! I can't believe they're not letting you go at another time, or even offering it by zoom... Sorry can't help with school places as we have a different age bracket up here (so high school is actually another year off for us). Sounds like it might be worth accepting it though so you don't lose out - it does seem like RBS results could be a while yet x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just accept your secondary school place last year I waited until the last minute to hand my DD local place back in late June. Our local school was oversubscribed so we wanted to make sure we were 100% sure, plus last year the parents and children didn’t have tours of the vocational schools. It was hard to make a definite decision without actually looking around and getting a feel for the school.

Pups_mum Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) I would definitely accept your regular secondary school place @Julsgalaxyuntil a vocational school place is absolutely sorted.. If you reject it and for any reason your DC doesn't end up going to vocational school there is no guarantee you will get a place back at your original preference. It's easy enough to let the LEA know that you don't want the place after all once everything is signed and sealed for vocational school. If your local secondary is over subscribed then that will lead to someone on the waiting list getting offered the place, and if it isn't it doesn't really affect anything, so no harm either way. But the last thing you want is to turn down the regular school place, hit some kind of hitch with vocational school admission and end up with your DC having to go to whatever other secondary in your LEA that happens to have places left, and potentially being faced with more stress over waiting lists and/or appeals. A golden rule of the dance world is always to have Plan B (and preferably CD and E!) sorted, so get your secondary place in the bag now so that's one less thing to worry about. Hope you all get well soon. Edited March 18, 2022 by Pups_mum Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalletBoyMum1 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) What time was your son there? Mine was 9.45 and said there were 9 boys. One year 8, him in year 7 and the other 7 boys were currently in year 6. I know my friend's son is in year 9 and had his later in the day. So I'm assuming any boys for KS3 (years 7,8 and 9) in September were in the 9.45 one and older boys were later. Not sure on the girls though. Like your son he came out excited and so happy. Let's hope they have lots of funded spaces available this year. Edited March 19, 2022 by BalletBoyMum1 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottobotto Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Yes he was 9:45 too. He was trying to decipher the 'odds' but I guessed age and sex was irrelevant as the funding goes across the whole school and there could only be 3 MDS places for many many applicants I'm guessing!
