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!

@Millsy82 she said Theatre and Music before i thought it was MT.

So it looks like no news for MT yet

Hopefully soon .

I just had an email that my son has got a place for IDD. He only interviewed last Tuesday and they said 2 weeks so wasn’t expecting to hear. He applied unsuccessfully for KS3 art 2 years ago so we weren’t getting our hopes up.

Oh, I somehow missed this! Congratulations, @Pottingup Wonderful news! 😊

Skysti · 19/03/2024 09:28

@Pottingup you said you son applied unsuccessfully for KS3 art 2 years, this year did he apply & get accepted for IDD Post 16?

Atmywittsend1 · 19/03/2024 09:27

@Zanthe ahh, so it’s not a glitch! This wait is something else 😩

Skysti · 19/03/2024 09:20

@Pottingup congratulations to your son
@Atmywittsend1 @Zanthe thank you both for your kind words.
@ginman i hope you hear something soon x
Good luck to everyone who is still waiting 🤞🏽

Zanthe · 19/03/2024 09:14

@Skysti Well done to your DS. A reserve list place is essentially a yes but not enough spaces. Fingers crossed someone else drops out and your DS gets in. 🤞

@Atmywittsend1 I also have the duplicate box on the application page. That happened yesterday I think.

@Skysti Aw, the reserve list is a great achievement in itself, well done to your son and I hope a space opens up for him.

No updates here (music) but when I login on my mobile, the invite box that says accepted with the meeting date/times etc is duplicated for some reason. It’s probably glitching from me refreshing the page so much!

@ginman I hope you get some good news before you go! Surely it has to be this week, I thought with the KS5 decisions coming out way beforehand, it would make the KS4 ones quicker, but sadly not.

The first thing my DC asks when they get home from school each day is have I heard. And when I say no, they ask if I’m sure 😆. They think I won’t want to tell them if it’s bad news and so I’ll put it off 🥺 (I really wouldn’t).

Skysti · 19/03/2024 08:18

Good morning, just received an email my son is on the waiting list for IDD, he’s a little upset as a girl in his class got in. But fingers crossed he gets a space🤞🏽

@Mummy0fFour have you received any
news?

Anyone else had any updates? X

Hi @Roman4864, we are on the reserve list for Dance. I’ve had a nose at the 2023 Brit thread and looks like movement started around mid to late April from what I can see. Also looks like contact came by way of a phone call! 📞

Hope we start getting some happy calls soon 🤞😁

Is anyone else on the reserve list for Theatre? Nearly 2 weeks since the acceptance emails went out. I’m hoping there are places coming up. Fingers crossed.
Hope all of you still waiting to hear get some good news too x

I go away Thursday without my daughter for 3 nights - now worrying the no will come when I’m away! But also don’t want a yes to come when I’m away as I want to see her face in person!!! So basically tomorrow or Wednesday please Brit :-) we can’t cope with waiting any longer!

I am glad to find this. DD audition on 23/02/24 Musical theatre. Two of her friends from same school got rejection emails this week. Not sure what is happening just keeping my fingers crossed.
Good luck everyone, hopefully soon

Did her friends audition for MT?

Still no news for FMP! Looks like another week still of stomach churning anxiety! But all the time it’s not a no at least we have hope! 😂🙈

Tell me about it!!!
Its like the weekend reprise.

Zanthe · 15/03/2024 08:27

So frustrating! Feel like I’m stuck in limbo unable to move on with my life! I never dreamed the wait would be so hard!

LiveMusic · 15/03/2024 08:00

That's right😁 No news is good news😍

This forum is such a godsend! My son auditioned for music on the 21st Feb, his best friend auditioned for Theatre on the 22nd. His friend heard last Tuesday that he'd been successful. We thought for sure we'd know within a few days, but a week later we are still waiting and chewing our fingernails to nibs. And our poor son is so stressed out! Just knowing that there are others in the same boat is keeping us sane! I only hope they put us all out of our misery soon.

My son also auditioned for music 21st Feb but he seems pretty chilled so far. Just me trying not to check my emails every 5 mins. He likes his current secondary and would do music and drama GCSE there, plus gets to do school musicals and is on the hockey team...so trying to focus on the positives of not getting into Brit School. Plus we can try again for 6th form. However, he does think the music department at Brit would be incredible and has heard lots of Brit students perform at local open mics, so he knows how good they are.
