London Vocational Ballet School / LVBS / LVS - feedback please

[Angelina17]

Hello, 

I am hoping someone may be able to share feedback about London Vocational Ballet School. I know it was under another name previously so I will add LVS and LVBS in the hopes someone responds. 

I am considering to put my daughter there for audition for entry at year 6. I am well aware she likely will not be offered a place but I am just wanting to learn more about the school in the off chance she is offered a place.

Her well being is my priority and I just want to make sure I am sending her somewhere safe. If anyone has recent experience of the school could they share what it is like in practice? 

1. Are the children following a normal academic schooling - how many GCSEs do they typically take? 
2. Do they have to re-audition each year to "keep their place"? The nightmare would be if she is managed out after a few years and we miss the usual cohort of joining school at 11. 
3. Are the kids well cared for and happy there? I am not a ballet background so I really don't know much about the schools but I know there has been issues around ballet schools in the past.
4. Eating disorders - Is there issues around this at the school?
5. Phone usage - Does anyone know what the mobile phone policy is like that the school? 

I would really hugely appreciate some feedback from parents who have kids, or recently had children at the school sharing what it is like.  

Thank you so so much!
