Mad house Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hi I wonder if anyone could answer a few questions re legat ? Is the 85.00 registration fee that you need to pay to audition at bedes ( Legat) non refundable ? Do you need to pay audition fee too? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramascientist Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Well we did! 25 for audition and 85 for registration but I have no idea if the registration fee is refundable, probably not! Its an expensive business all these auditions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooZoo Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Seems a bit much to pay for registration if they turn you down, doesn't it?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieW Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Goodness me , that's not good - how can they justify asking for that much?! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 It costs 85€ (about £110) to audition in CNSMDP in Paris... But at least next to nothing if you manage to get in! I paid it once for DD1 and then she got ill and didn't go and we didn't get a refund!!! Now it's time to pay again but for DD2 this time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliepops Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I think you will find that this a fairly standard fee for registration at an independent school in this geographical area. Legat is part of St Bede's which is an independent senior school. DD's senior school charge a very similar amount. On investigation some charge a lot more, particularly for overseas students.

Mad house Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Ok thanks for that information Afab and ellipops I guess I may have to bite the bullet then But I do agree with Julie w it seems a lot of money !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I was going to say the same. Registration fees are fairly standard at private schools unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliepops Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The sobering fact is these fees are being aimed at parents who for the most part - (although not all we were applying for scholarship and also a bursary) can afford day school fees of £15,000 - £20,000 per year or boarding fees upwards of £26,000 for each child, so in the scheme of things relative to that the registration fees are not so significant. I agree for those to whom it is a lot of money - and it was to us, paying it for our DD to sit scholarship exams at several schools certainly did mount up. Fortunately being so academic at the end she had scholarship offers from every school she sat for. She got to choose the school she liked best (and she has thrived at) and we got the option of a school that with the scholarship and bursary help given us we could afford. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramascientist Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 We would not be able to afford the fees for legat so if DD was offered a place she could only take it up if she was offered a scholarship too. Keep your fingers crossed for us please! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad house Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Thanks dramascientist It is a tough time for all the dc s auditioning . I feel they are gaining so much from the whole audition experiences ( whatever the outcome ) . It can only give them confidence for their future adventures. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
