sunrise81 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Thank you! She has been to YBS every year for the last 3 years, and this is first year she got a scholarship so very pleased. Yes they were at York, but when Iain took over it moved to Harrogate. Will be interesting to see what the new director does 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballerina-girl Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hi, I applied for the summer school last week but not had any confirmation email. Usually for workshops I get a confirmation email within minutes. I’m wondering if I’ve filled it in wrong as I had a difficult time uploading the photos. Has anyone else had confirmation?

AllAboutTheJourney Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 My DD went last summer at 10 (almost 11) and loved it. A good mix of classes and down time and the campus is lovely. The younger students were in rooms of 3/4 across two floors I believe. There were some fairly casual activities arranged in the evenings from memory but they were optional, I think DD ended up joining in sometimes but also liked relaxing in the evenings either all piled into one of the rooms or out in the grounds (it was a very hot week!). On the final morning there was a demonstration which was a lovely chance to see what they had got up to. I can't really comment on the pastoral care if there was any homesickness or other upset as we didn't have any issues and DD is very self-sufficient but I'd imagine it's good - DD thought all the house parents were friendly and approachable.

Ballet_dancer2020 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Does anyone know usual number of applicants versus accepted and whether it's mainly for children at vocational school? I saw this was a question on the application so now wondering if it's appropriate for my daughter. Thanks for any insights! 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely wouldn't let that put you off applying though, you never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllAboutTheJourney Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I'd agree, think it's pretty hard to get a place although there are three weeks of it and classes aren't very small so there's a fair chance. In the younger group there were quite a few at vocational school but also some y5/6, most of whom were associates and several of whom were about to start vocational after the summer. There were also a few, however, who perhaps hadn't done quite as much but still seemed to be having a happy and beneficial week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
