mimi'smom Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Well done to your DD Angela. She is a lovely dancer - I spotted her at the BRB class. I was actually the mum stood opposite you as we waited for our DDs to come out - the last ones of course. I only realised who you were when I saw your DD and then too late to say hello. Never mind - another time. My younger DD will be so thrilled to hear your news. Hi 2dancersmum Thank you! Hope we get to meet again now we know who to look out for - the ballet world is a very small one! Angela xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No letter in the Sniffymum household and we are looking for funding for year 8 too and we live much closer to Hammond in terms of the time post takes to arrive. Still haven't heard of anyone else with a letter - bizarre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimi'smom Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Can't believe you are all still waiting - it must be agony! Sending you all positive thoughts and hope the waiting is over soon with the outcomes you are all hoping for xx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwimum Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 What a shame the children(not to mention the parents) are being made to wait so long. It is such a tense time for them, especially as the children in Year 6 will have their friends talking about the move to secondary school in September and they are still unsure where they will be going. Let us hope the Hammond will put you all out of your misery soon with happy news for all ballet.coers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieW Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Oh, that's good of them seeing as we have a long bank holiday weekend which means most people won't get them until next week - you'd think they could put a bit more effort into getting them sent tomorrow - maybe they will (I hasten to add that we're not waiting to hear, but I do feel for everyone waiting - we've been there and I know the schools must have good reasons for the delay, but it's agony at the other end) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie4dancin Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Thats great we go away on Thursday evening for Easter holidays... very very unhappy now Edited to add NO I'm furious!!!!! cx Edited April 3, 2012 by charlie4dancin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Could you contact them and ask whether in the circumstances they will email the result to you, charlie4dancin? At least then there is a chance that you might know before you go on holiday. Even if they refuse, you won't lose anything by asking. Keeping fingers crossed for you and your DD and for everyone awaiting results x 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowlight Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The funding decisions for the Hammond are more complex than other schools as they have a number of burseries to give out. I understand they take into consideration people's financial statements to work out whether people would be better off on MDS or bursery. And who knows what other factors come into play, but they will be trying to make sure they get the decisions right. It doesn't make it any less frustrating for you waiting I know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thank you so much for posting Dancingmom! My dd is in a Festival this week and I didn't dare bring her home during the day yesterday in case there was bad news on the doorstep and it messed things up for the afternoon! At least I can not think about it today and tomorrow. Thoughts are with all waiting - we know how hard it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
