I’ve read back on last year’s one and it seemed like such a supportive and helpful group! My DD is applying for a year 7 place. Hi. Yes i would be interested in resurrecting this thread. Previous years have been very helpful. Things are slightly different this year in how the auditions are being carried out it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 11 year old has finals coming up all in the same week - 8th and 9th at Elmhurst and 10th and 11th at WL. Anyone else in the same (fortunate) boat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RachH Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 For those doing finals over two days - do they generally wear the same leotard for both days or different? I know it really makes no difference to the outcome, just wondered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalletBelle Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Just looked at their term dates and the Hammond have half-term this week. It might explain the wait? Hopefully you'll hear from them soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissEmily Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 @RubyM This was last year's Day 2 schedule, but the "contemporary" mentioned was definitely jazz. 9.00am – 11.00am Ballet Class & Contemporary Class 11.00am – 11.15am Students Change 10.45am – 11.15am Refreshments in Foyer for Parents 11.15pm – 12.15pm Tour with Parents 12.15pm – 12.45pm SLT Presentation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hoping there's no surprises (like the Jazz mentioned above!). My DD is struggling to remember what happened on the callback day. There were 2 days and she thinks that the contemporary was on the first day. Then the callback day was a ballet class then a look around the school and physio. This was for entry into year 8 so may have been slightly different xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prancer Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Thanks, that's interesting. We will just have to wait and see. They havent mentioned jazz or contemporary and it would seem a bit mean to give them just a few hours notice that there is a contemporary/jazz class so I'm hopeful that it will just be ballet this year. But who knows?! I'm certainly not going to suddenly get her to practice jazz or contemporary but it's good to know that something like that could get sprung on her at the last minute!

It looks like they are doing it differently this year and everyone attends both days. I'd love to know how many are through to finals for Elmhurst this year.

Adagio123 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Hi. Does anyone have any experience with funding? Is it calculated on the tax year? So for Sept start, would it be 22/23 tax year and then reviewed each year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrise81 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Yes they take the previous years p60 and it is recalculated each year, in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
