I don’t think we can know for certain. I thought they’d said 10 at Prelims but not really sure I heard right and whether that’s for just year 7 or all years. I know they’ve given about 4 out already though x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballet Power Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Those 4 might not accept though so it’s hard to know! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewel Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 They won’t know exactly until Easter when anyone leaving has to give notice by. They will know how many current 11s have MDS awards to be put back into the pot. Then they also have a limited number of non MDS school scholarships. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've emailed but had no response so planned to ring tomorrow. So are we thinking there might be MDS funded places AND possible bursaries?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyDancemum Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 In our audition email from Hammond it said “if your child is not offered MDS award we do not currently have bursary or scholarship funds but have a restricted number of small fee remissions” My dd is going for year 10.

Mum to a boy dancer Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 If I remember rightly last year after the MDS were given out some kids were given a 30% fee reduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we collect them after the musical theatre class and if there’s a large enough gap we could go to the boarding house then take them back for their physio slot?

It says to have a picnic in your car doesn’t it but it also then says the Hilton is close by so surely you could go to the boarding house instead. We only have an hour to wait so will have lunch and then go to the boarding house after physio. Quite interesting to see exactly how many will be there on Monday x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with 30% off it would’ve been well beyond our means. If you are wanting to visit boarding I’d make sure it’s pre arranged as a lot of the time no one is there during the day x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have said in the email that boarding is open you will be fine, good luck to everyone auditioning. Hammond is such a lovely place. DS is hoping for someone to join from north of the border. He feels like he is representing all on his own lol 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointeshoesarethedream Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 They’ve said they’re having an open afternoon at the boarding house so to visit if we like but welcome to arrange an alternative time if we prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponklemum Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Last year after they did the mds audition they all had time slots to go in to physio and they came out after they’d had their appointment. We didn’t go in with them for it just dropped them off and picked them up x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
