Billyelliott Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hello I have a son starting year 7 in September - wondering who else is going if he knows anyone ? His name is Enrique , we are from Worthing . Also what is the formal uniform like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Boys wear a navy blazer with school logo (£96) and tartan tie (£20) to coordinate with girls skirts only available from school outfitters. White school shirt and ?black trousers from high street stores. They wear formal for end of term concerts/prize giving and theatre trips. On average probably 6/8 times an academic year.

Anna C Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hello Billyelliott, Just a reminder that this is a public forum, visible by everyone with internet access, not just forum members. Can I just check that your son is comfortable having his name published here? Thanks, Spanner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooZoo Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi Billyelliot Welcome to the Forum! I think I may have been the person who recommended it to you when I met you in Brighton! You will find some very kind and helpful people here with lots of information! Most people don't tend to put their children's name on the site, however, so you can get that taken off if you like.... People send personal messages with names I expect, once they know if/when their children have got into vocational school........ it would be my dream for my DS to follow yours to Elmhurst, and if he ever does we are bound to bump into one another again as we are in Sussex too! Best wishes Suzyszoo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belljul Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi Billyelliot. How exciting for you and your DS! I also know of another year 7 boy starting and I can ask him at JAs if he would like to message your son through this site. Will let you know. They make friends quickly though so don't worry about that. I have a boy in year 9 at the moment (but due to leave at the end of the term) so message me if you have any questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evie Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hello Billyelliot, my ds is in year 7 at Elmhurst. Regarding the boy's formal uniform, they wear navy trousers, which I bought from Marks & Spencer. 1 pair is sufficent and a couple of white shirts with long sleeves and smart black shoes. They look very smart in the uniform, but he's only worn it 3 or 4 times this school year! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirrups36 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yes, Marks and Spencer's trousers are the ones they recommend - last till they are halfway up the boy's shins! Another hint. They only wear formal uniform on odd occasions. During the day they wear their tracksuit bottoms (you'll see these a LOT) and white trainers. We get the trainers, with no or little logos, from sports direct usually for about £10-15 a time depending on stock. He goes through about 1 pair a term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyelliott Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Still have not heard from any other year 7 boys starting Elmhurst in September - anyone out there?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab_feet Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hi folks. First time in the forum so lets hope this works! My Son will be starting in yr 7 at Elmhurst in Sept too Billyelliot. He is incredibly excited. We are in the north though so no chance of sharing lifts or anything, but good for the boys to get in touch. X 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab_feet Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Thank you. I have been following for a while, especially around audition time. Which incidentally, was the worst 6 months of my life!!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyelliott Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Welcome fab feet !! We have sent you a message, if you want we can exchange contact details that way , so the boys can chat! Xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyelliott Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 So at last we have found one new friend for DS to be in touch with but there must be some more boys starting yr7 in September ! Perhaps there are fewer boys going this year than usual - though there were plenty at the final auditions! Maybe some of you are yet to audition.......? Please say hello if you are out there ! - or if you know of someone ......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billyelliott Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Have found quite a few girls , but yes anyone else out there !! Apologies - not meaning to be sexist either ! So far I know of only 3 girls and one boy or 2 if mine is included going into yr 7 that's only 5 there must be more out there unless that's why there are more auditions in June or unless they are coming from Japan or somewhere else overseas !

HAIRBELLES Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hi Billyelliott Maybe some of them don't know of, or don't read this forum. A couple of years ago one of the mums was trying to contact me and posted on here. I had no idea until someone who had read it told me. Exciting times ahead for you all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I know it may seem strange (!) but not many people with children who dance know about this forum ;-) It's our mission to spread the word :-) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Beelam Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Indeed it is! I've had a few parents in our shop who have been grateful to hear there's a friendly forum that they can find out about associate schemes, 6th forms etc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
