Busymum Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Happymum I hope it went well today. My DD had her audition on Monday. She said she enjoyed it and she felt it went well so now just to wait!! Did they indicate to you how long the results would take? I asked on the way out and was told about 2 weeks but that wasn't by the teaching staff. Good luck!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaybackSapphire Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 It's normally about 10 days Busymum. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 My DD managed not to cry at all today - tried very hard. I told her that after the audition we may cry this evening as much as we want! She enjoyed the day, loved the dancing classes, smiled doing her solo (but said that she couldn't smile doing jazz routine ). Generally she said that she tried her best,could have done a bit better and smiled more but she thinks she did quite well. We have been told by the member of staff that we should get the results in 4 weeks time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanprincess Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Aww I'm glad your DD managed to get through the audition okay, big hugs to her and you xxx Hope everyone else who auditioned enjoyed the day, fingers crossed for your results!!

Happymum Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I had a chance today but I forgot to ask, does anybody know how mane funding places they are at Tring for Year 7? Or how many there were last year? Also how many were invited to the funding auditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwel Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Last year they had 9 MDS places to give out. However, they allocate them for year 7, 8 and 9. This changes each year. I believe that the previous year they only had 3 MDS places. It depends how many MDS students are leaving. Don't know how many were recalled for funding in total but my son was in a class of 15.

Harwel Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Actually allocated between years 7, 8, 9 and 10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busymum Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Happymum I'm glad your DD felt it went quite well and she enjoyed the audition. 4 weeks..... I hope it's not that long my nerves won't be able to take it!! It does make sense though as the next audition isn't until 24th November so they may see everybody before making a decision. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaybackSapphire Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 After sending the second lot of forms and photos and cancelling cheques, Tring have received our application! Thank goodness, my life wouldn't be worth living if the DD found out!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busymum Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Tring have emailed DD school for references. Does anybody know if I can view this positively?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Did they email the school before or after the audition? If after then I'd like to think it is looking good! . But I thought that they said that they are going to contact schools before auditions. I must ask at school tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busymum Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 They emailed this week. Worrying now that it may just be a follow up email from one before audition and maybe DD's school just hadn't responded. Going to have to ask tomorrow now!!!

Happymum Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 So my DD asked at school today. They received it on Friday so 2 days after auditions and they sent the reply by post today. But! If it was a letter it could have been sent before the auditions, or even if they liked my DD they still may offer her a waiting list or a place without funding - so no good. I've decided that it's better not to think about it (ha ha!) and just wait for the results - just 2 more weeks and 5 days :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooZoo Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I would view this as a good sign! Â I don't think they would waste anyone's time if they weren't interested. Â So be cautiously optimistic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clara Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I've just noticed that there are a couple more Junior Dance audition dates on Tring's website for January! I was just wondering if anyone who had early November auditions have received their result? Dd auditioned yesterday and we weren't given a time scale for results so I'm just trying to gage how long we may have to wait! Dd felt she danced her best but also felt there were others in the group who were much stronger, so not expecting a recall given the number of audition dates this year and the fact she's trying for a year 8 place, but it would be nice to find out prior to Christmas so she can move on and focus on the next goal if it's a no!Good luck to all those waiting and to those still to audition!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Our audition was on 5th November and we have been told that the wait will be up to 4 weeks. So theoretically we should receive the results not later then 3rd December - so one more week to go. But I recall that somebody on the forum said that last year they were late with their results. But I don't think we will need to wait until all the preliminary auditions are finished (I hope!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantabile Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 My DD also auditioned in first week of Nov. I rang the school today and was told they are hoping to post results out this week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clara Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yes I don't think my nerves could take waiting until after the January auditions Happymum!Ooh good luck to you all of you first audition candidates then Cantabile! I wonder if it will just be the early November auditions they'll send out or whether they'll send them out all in one go?! If it's about 4 weeks from each audition date I might just have to wait until after Christmas day to tell dd as I'd hate her to spend Christmas feeling upset!

Happymum Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 My DD also auditioned in first week of Nov. I rang the school today and was told they are hoping to post results out this week! Well done for calling the school and thank you from all of us waiting for results :-) So let's say they won't send it until Friday so we may get it on Saturday or Monday - should help we the wait.

Busymum Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 We have received our letter from Tring today. DD auditioned on the 3rd November. She has a place and invite back for funding audition. So pleased as this is her first choice school! Good luck everyone else. I really hope it's good news! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DancingDays Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Ahhh...that's lovely....I did exactly the same thing when my DD's letter arrived last year....her primary school was a couple of hundred yards up the road so I ran up to school to give her the good news!

Happymum Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Great news Busymum! You must be so proud and your DD so happy! You have finals at 2 schools and one is your first choice school - well done to your DD. We didn't receive a letter today. But DD auditioned on 5th so maybe we need to wait a couple more days. Or maybe it's a "no" and they sent "yes" first. Who knows.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busymum Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thank you so much everyone. Happymum don't panic. I know somebody else who auditioned on the 5th and they didn't receive a letter today either. Another DD who auditioned on the 3rd received her letter today even though it was a no so think it must have just been the first days results that went out. Fingers crossed for good news tomorrow for you!!! Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerndancemum Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Love reading all the excitement in the audition parts at the moment Just for future info from my side - do you have to ask to be considered for a funding call back or is it something you get automatically? There's no way I could afford to even consider looking at Tring as a main school looking at the cost of boarding. How is it worked out etc?

Harwel Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Southerndancemum, when you complete the aplication form for Tring you have to tick a box to say whether you require funding or whether you don't. When your child auditions they then know whether they can offer an unfunded space straight away, whether they invite you back to a funding audition so that they can look at all the candidates together and assess where they have spaces, beds, etc or a refusal this time. The funding auditions are broken down into groups and you will then be told if you have funding straight away or if you are on a waiting list for funding. There is a lot of movement at this stage with children/parents choosing the place which best suits them. We were told via email the very next day after the funding audition.  For us, while getting to the funding audition was a great achievement, there was very little celebrating until after the funding audition. The MDS form requires you to put all earnings down, even down to interest on a current account, anything on a P11D etc. you qualify for some level of funding if your total income is up to £147k for boarding - no account is taken of expenditure.  Hope that helps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piccolo Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 My dd also has the offer of a place and a funding audition. Still totally wired at 23.25 on a school night. Yes she knows it may not come to anything but her little spot of success at this stage is a big boost nevertheless :-) 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
