Hi all,

I thought I'd start a thread for KS4 applications for Brit School as my daughter has her workshop and interview this week and I know we will both be anxiously waiting to here afterwards!

She's applying for Film and Media production strand as is really passionate about working within the film industry..

We have no idea what to expect at the workshop and interview at all!

good luck to anyone else there this week!

Oh and for anyone wondering she was sent an email too at the same time as us, though she was too scared to open hers otherwise she'd have found out while at school.

Well done to your daughter! This last week has felt so long, it must be so nice now the wait is over for you guys and you got the news you wanted 👍

Hahaha! I’m amazed she waited! My daughter wouldn’t have done! Hope she’s enjoying every minute celebrating!

She's spent the last couple of hours walking round with a daft grin on her face looking like the Cheshire cat. Obviously the day for VAD results so hopefully they'll start looking at the other streams once these are out. I would think (and completely guessing here!) that the film and interactive design would follow next as they are similarish subjects?

Just got an acceptance for DD - VAD starting year 10 in September. So quick, I was expecting a much longer wait so hopefully they'll put other ppl out their misery soon too! Keeping fingers crossed for everyone

Amazing news! Congratulations 🥳 you must all be so happy and excited!

Our daughter also has a few friends who have applied and 2 have found out today that they’ve got in! (Both Vad).

You wouldn’t believe how often I’m refreshing my emails now; just incase 😂

@Templeria OMG how exciting! Huge congratulations to you and your DD! ❤️ So quick!

Templeria · 29/02/2024 13:41

I wonder whether they'll send an acceptance to her too, in which case she may see it before she gets home as I know shes been hitting the refresh button like mad on her emails since the interview.

She's got 3 good friends that have applied too though one for music and two for drama so still got to wait for them to find out too and I imagine the competition is much toucher in those areas (Brit is very local to us - about a 15 minute bus ride, hence there being a few folk she knows that have applied) 😬

@ginman - thanks so much - I can't quite believe it! She's going to be bouncing off the walls when she gets home!

Interveiw and workshop was Wednesday morning last week (21st) so same day as you I guess?

Amazing!! That’s the nicest part is telling them good news (hopefully🤞🏼).. our was actually Thursday for FMP - only a week ago 🙈🙈

@emmaw1405 I didn’t know that the half term was for so long in Feb. So you’re most probably right we won’t her back until after the 8th March.

Thanks sorry I put it in the wrong one and don’t know how to delete! It was my first ever post!

No worries at all! Easily done! And it was nice to see your good news. X

@Gemmad88 Congratulations! Btw, there is another thread on Mumsnet called Brit School Sixth Form 2024. It should appear under this one under “Similar Threads.” Just thought I’d mention it in case you didn’t know. x

Looking at their calendar KS4 finished on 20th for half term and then there were auditions on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week. It's half term until 8th March so I wonder if that's when we'll start hearing from?

@Gemmad88 Congratulations to your daughter!

@GreenPombear It’s so long to wait, isn’t it! I keep looking at my calendar every day and thinking, “How is STILL February?!” I was hoping for more chat in this thread, tbh, just to keep me going! 😂

I’ve been ok this week as I know there is no chance of an email - but next week onwards will be on full email check constantly 🙈🙈 even though it will be at least another week I’m sure!!!!! 😬

@Gemmad88 Congratulations! I’m so jealous your wait is now over😃

Was less than 2 weeks wait, was surprised; can’t seem to make sense of how it all works, seems to be an exercise in being zen

Heard that my daughter got a place for Dance yesterday! Filled in all the application pack and acceptance forms but haven’t got any email back from them…. Is that other people’s experience? Am I just too keen?

Congratulations 🥳 you must be so happy! 😀
