Mumoftwogirls2023 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hello, is anyone auditioning for The Hammond for Year 7 over the next few days? We have received an email today to say that we do not have to attend THEI (The Hammond Entrance Interview) as it’s not applicable. Does anyone know what this means? We would require a MDS due to income so it’s not due to that. Just wondering why it wouldn’t be required. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance86 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I’m following this post as we have been selected for the interview at random. From what I understand is that due to number of applicants they have chosen interviews at random. This will not affect the audition outcomes or process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyndseyJ Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 We got picked for the interview and I’d been absolutely dreading it, but overall it was ok daughter went very quiet and fidgety probably due to nerves. Good luck to everyone xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumoftwogirls2023 Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 (edited) @LyndseyJ glad it went well. Feels like a really long time to wait now! Do we know if we might out by email or by post? I know offers for Tring have started to come out today. Good luck to everyone! Edited January 19 by Mumoftwogirls2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyndseyJ Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Thank you for that, this is one of the reasons my daughter wants to go here so much. DD feels sick with nerves right now 😞esp as she didn’t get in to the other school she applied for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance86 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) So we get a response by letter? I can stop stalking my inbox’s 🙈. My daughter loved the audition process. She came out beaming. Will keep my fingers crossed for her and everyone on here for good news 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Edited January 25 by Tania.H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dance86 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) I’m half deaf, so I just smiled and nodded as if I heard everything 🙈. I’m sure I was told 9th or 12th Feb? I wonder if anyone got an offer on the day🤔 Edited January 25 by Tania.H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few got into Tring and have to let them know by the 2nd so they did speak to The Hammond and they said they would try to get them out earlier. 🤞🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyndseyJ Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Ahhhh that makes sense good luck to everyone x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumoftwogirls2023 Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 (edited) Does anyone know anyone who is still to audition? I know someone had said they knew someone who was auditioning in Feb as they couldn’t get there in Jan. Just wondering when the last one is as I am guessing they can’t make their decisions beforehand. Edited January 25 by Mumoftwogirls2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the last audition date for yr 7-8 was this Monday just gone, so unless they are doing a date with the older year groups I don’t know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancemum100 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Also wondering if anyone got offered a place on the day? I know in previous years people have? Wasn’t sure if they would ask you to wait or how it would work as surely they would offer it with a parent there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance86 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I’ve just seen on the Hammond website that there is another audition 25th Feb due to high demand. So I assume we would find out after that date now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should send a email out then stating when results will be out, not fair on the kids waiting on results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
