That's fantastic, well done! I'm waiting for theatre as well but haven't heard yet. I'm worried now that it means that DD didn't get the audition.

They are probably just going through the list. Hopefully you will hear soon. Best of luck

Have you heard anything from Acting yet? Mine got invited to a meeting for FMP strand but his friend applying for acting hasn’t heard yet?

Called the school and they said theatre will be today or very early next week.

Ohh. Thank you. I hope they didn’t get too many applications

Hi ZingyLemur and Elifee
We are also waiting for the KS4 music strand- I just called the Brit school and the receptionist told me that due to the very high number of applicants none of the KS4 Music strand letters have gone out yet, they won’t go out today - but we should hear before next Wednesday!

Best of luck

That would make sense. Otherwise they’d have 1000s of references to plough through. Am just paranoid about things getting lost in the ether!

I checked the application portal yesterday and it said Reference status ‘Not Sent’, which was unsettling. My son’s Head of Year confirmed she hadn’t been asked for a reference yet. What could this mean? 🤔

They probably only ask for references after they've whittled down from the workshops/interviews
