It's addressed to her not me with a gold seal on the back, surely they wouldn't address it to my daughter if it was bad news! I feel I need to open it so I can be prepared if it's not the news we want, but I won't 🤐 Will keep everything crossed that it’s good news 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dance86 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I hate to ask, but has anyone received a rejection letter in the post? I’m on edge waiting for this letter and bracing myself for the worst case. Will be nice to relax once we get the results. Congratulations to all who were successful 🥳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmum1210 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 A letter has just arrived with a lovely gold seal. There’s no way to sneak a peak so I’ll have to be patient until my daughter gets home tonight.

I'm stuck now as to whether or not to pay the £160 deposit, because if she doesnt get the mds my girl can't go.

I am guessing we will know about funding before the deadline to commit as they know there are quite a few children who wouldn’t be able to go without the MDS. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could do with knowing about the funding before I accept the place 🤔 When dd was auditioning we had to pay the deposit before they would send us details and add us to the list for the mds/funding audition, but they’re not doing that audition any longer, yet still requesting the ‘deposit’?

Mumoftwogirls2023 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I have called to confirm about accepting the place if funding is required. The plan is to inform lower school of outcomes by beginning-middle of next week so we don’t need to pay any fees etc before. Hope this helps to clarify for anyone else who wasn’t sure 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margarite Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 11 minutes ago, Lissieloo said: I'm sorry I can't answer but I was also wondering, is MDS one lump sum split through every year group or do they get an allowance for each year group? The school has a set amount of MDS awards, it’s not a pot of money (unlike DAda awards) the number of available MDS awards fluctuates from year to year depending on how many are given back from the outgoing year 11. When my daughter was in year 7 ( a while back!) 10 out of the 18 dancers had an MDS. Over the next few years about three dancers joined in years 8/9 also receiving an MDS award. A couple of children left over time and their awards were redistributed, sometimes to other years. Discussing awards is not really allowed, but the kids always talked about who had what quite freely! So I would say that on average a year 11 group would be handing back between 8-12 awards for the school to reallocate. These would normally go to new year 7’s and 8’s.
