tutucute22 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 has anyone heard of anyone not passing the test therefore not be able to take up the place -little sis is getting worried and confused about it all !;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interested Parent Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I think you'll find the results of the test have no bearing on the offer of a place; well that's what we were told when DD auditioned. They were sent to her school and time was set aside for her to do them during the school day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutucute22 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 thanks for the resurrance everyone :-) she is really excited about being offered a place but getting worried if she doesn't do well enough in the tests that her place might be taken away again -anyone else been offered a yr9 place ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Don't worry about them- they are quite straightforward and the atmosphere for the 'on the day' ones was supportive. You might want to have a word with your dc's primary school about the ones that are sent there. We warned school they were coming and how important they might be so they supported dd to do them by choosing a good time and letting a teacher that she was fond of supervise. Good luck!

All4dancers Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi, my dd was also offered a year nine place at Hammond, which we accepted. We're worried that her school hasn't received the papers yet, but other people who were at her audition have already done them some time ago. I have tried ringing Hammond on several occasions, but I'm always told the lady who deals with this is unavailable, so my dd is worried that her place will be taken away, or that she won't be considered for funding as she hasn't done the tests.

All4dancers Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) She knows a couple of dancers already there that will be in year 9 when she starts. She met them at nyb and they have put her in touch with other children from the school through facebook. Congratulations to your sister, I bet you'll miss her though. Perhaps if they would like, we could link up your sister and my dd through email or facebook before they start.

Sheila Beelam Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Sorry, I forgot to add that I'm sure the tests are just to assess what classes she should be in for academic subjects, nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewayforward Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Does everyone know the % of DADA they getting yet as our acceptance letter said provisional DADA but need to fill in more financial forms before told the % offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Just wanted to say congratulations thebutties on the DADA award. I imagine now the DADA is income assessed they do need full financial details from you before your parental contribution can be finalised hence the wording 'provisional'. You should have a rough idea of what it will be though based on your family income and the published table of contributions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
