Catherines mum Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Just heard for my daughter also and it’s a no (reserve) for yr 7- does anyone know how many MDS places there are? I know sometimes people don’t accept as they are applying to multiple schools? Edited April 5, 2022 by Catherines mum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancer46 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 We’ve also had an email with an offer but will follow with details of self funding which I presume means no MDS…😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusyDancemum Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 We also had an email with self funding information. Does anyone know if there is a waitlist for MDS? And if so is everyone placed on it or only if it is mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will sometimes give you a hint, if you ask directly, as to where you are on the list, and therefore whether you are likely to be offered mds.

I did that with Tring and found out that we were not hear the 'top' of the wait list so was able to move on. I genuinely don't think these places mind as they know how much you've invested in the auditions and how important it is to you and your child! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancer46 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 So does that mean if it says self funding that another email will follow if successful for an MDS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't give up hope, quite a few offers were given at the end of April last year. There were even a late round of applications offered MDS after all the movement ( places still being announced). The current year 7 has 10 girls 3 boys on the dance and a Mt day student. Good luck to all those waiting x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballet-mum-8017553946284 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Has anyone’s DC been offered an MDS this week off the reserve list? Wondering if the Hammond offer returned MDS awards straight away to the next child on the list or wait until after this Friday’s acceptance deadline? The wait is really difficult!

Amme76 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I do believe they offer them out quite quickly the reserve list goes on the points they achieved in their audition they are placed in order on the list. you maybe able to find out where on the list they are if you ring. There is usually a lot of movement so good luck 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paquita Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 They offer returned MDS's very quickly (to both current students or new students). There is always a lot of movement on the wait list also, so if you're near the top, don't lose hope as you could even be offered one as late as the end of the summer term.

Ballet Power Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Has anyone else had the email today about the possibility of being given a bursary?

They did this last year sent out bursary paper work and then gave out MDS to students as MDS were declined - we were lucky and got a quick MDS offer but some didn't get them until end of April or later - fingers crossed 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paquita Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 We have some girl's Hammond uniform for sale, most of it never worn and all in impeccable condition. Would suit new starters in years 7 - 9. Feel free to send me a private message if anyone is interested. I remember how expensive all the uniform was to buy so it may help someone out to buy 2nd hand (even though its all brand new!).
