BisforBallet Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 We have a Wk5 place. Can someone tell me drop off and pick up times for residential please? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutTheJourney Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 We are a different week but we got an email last week confirming the times. They are slightly staggered so it might be worth asking them direct if you've not heard anything yet. For pick up though, the parent demonstration is scheduled to start at 9.30am on our week, which I mention in case you have to travel any distance. We do, so I have just had to change my 5.40am train to one the night before and book (yet another) night in a hotel to make sure I can be there on time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you You should get an email soon. I just got the email with details for Week 3 a few days ago, so you'll probably get yours soon. I also was told he arrive at 9:30am on pick up day for the demonstration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum to a boy dancer Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Just had an offer for Wk5 from the waitlist for my DS! I’ve just paid for a summer school in Denmark so looks like mum and dad are eating baked beans for the next month 😂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balletmom8 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Dropping off DD at WL today at 3 for week 1! We are planning to take the tube to Richmond and then Uber or taxi to WL (does anyone know if Ubers can enter the park? I have the park pass they sent.) They said registration can take up to 30 min. Will I be able to get another Uber (or Bolt etc.) to pick me up at WL? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I be able to get another Uber (or Bolt etc.) to pick me up at WL? Thanks! We’ve taken Ubers and Addison Lee cars into the park. I just gave them a printed copy of the parks pass as some of the cyclists can be quite confrontational to vehicles entering the park. Not sure however about being able to book a car pick up from white lodge itself. I’ve always walked to Sheen Gate and ordered a car from there, though clearly it’s going to be absolutely baking today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiaramum Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Just speak to reception and they can guide you towards ordering a taxi for picking up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddleback Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Do they help the young kids make up their beds with the bed sheets we have to bring? Also, the emails mention summer intensive clothing and shirts you can pre-order, but I haven't seen any communication on this, or taxi park passes. When did everyone get this information?

The link to order t-shirts was in the same email sending out the SI handbook. Sorry I can't remember seeing the park pass this year yet - maybe it's still to come out.

My daughter tells me they helped each other out on their bedding. I aided her by making sure it was all packed inside out and we had a practice at home. the T-shirt order form was in a link on an email a while ago. I checked it the other day as my daughter fell in love with the blue colour but it doesn’t seem to be working anymore, I think it might be too late.

Evangeline Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Oh no I only just sent out the form about attendance on the final day of the SI W3 😩 I am so stressed that I missed the deadline and worry they won’t let me watch. I sent them an email apologizing so hoping they will take a pity on me. I don’t understand why they needed it so early! It’s not like they are asking for some further details, only the name 🥺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parking was absolutely fine for us at drop off and for the parents showing. The lessons started at 10am on the showing day for week 1, we were told to be there for 9.30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed overnight and arrived at the school around 8.30 this morning and there was plenty of parking spaces. We were met outside the main door and taken to a studio to get ready to watch. They started a little late and the morning consisted of a ballet class which took 1 1/2 hours, then a 15/20 minute break, then a second class which took around 1 1/4 hours xx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiaramum Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 There is limited signal at WL (and the 4g signal is horrendous) so don't worry too much if you don't hear from them. Any problems and the houseparents will be in touch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancingpotato Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Hi everyone just looking for a few bits of advice! What is involved in the Friday showing? Also, is it fairly easy to keep in touch with your child do they get there phone back quickly in the morning? Any other advice greatly appreciated!

Not 100% sure of the plan for Friday yet, but can help re: phones. They’re allowed them after breakfast, through the day and then hand them in back in before bedtime (which I assume changes depending on their age).

I spoke to my daughter in the morning before we got to watch. For the presentation we got to watch a ballet class, then there was a short break for snacks (we got to chat to our kids and other parents) then there was a shorter repertoire class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son seems to constantly text me after breakfast and during breaks so I think they are pretty liberal about devices. Though they seem to keep them at night thankfully. When we video chat all the kids around him also have their phones, so I'd hate to be the only child without one. The wifi is good enough for Zoom. My child's iPad doesn't even have mobile capabilites so we only use the zoom app over wifi only and it works great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenButClueless Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Is anyone else a bit disappointed with the course length this year? They had a whole extra day last year for the same price - and we weren’t given the pick up date until after full payment was made. I’m feeling a little robbed for 4.5 days of training to be honest.
