KS4 brit school 2026

Was it for post16?

You must get that reference! It's the 3rd week now and the school is probably closing on decisions.

My DD has just had her interview for DA, they gave all DC just 15 minutes to talk and answer questions. She was told her reference was still not ptovided (urhhhh) from her current school and they can't process the application without it. We both will chase the HofY tomorrow, as she was asked to provide reference back in January!!! Also she was told the decision will be made in 3-4 weeks(!!!!)

My daughter was in the same workshop! Her interview was at 11 and workshop 9:30 on the 25th. Apparently there were around 3 workshops and the same number of kids in each. I just called up the school and they said that due to the half term the process has been slow but we should hear back this week - next week latest!

yeah she does, she didn’t use anything from Brit kids for her portfolio, she said most the class had applied, hopefully we will find out soon. She really wants it, however she is currently in a good grammar school and doing super well with her grades and is very academic but this is her passion

Ouch - so the best odds is one in 3, potentially less... Your daughter does Brit kids does she? Were there a lot applying from there as I imagine they'd have much stronger portfolios 😬

My daughter was in this one, she had friends from the Saturday class who had it the day after and also the Friday so that’s at least three sessions

My son's workshop was 9.30am the 25th for FMP - he thought there were about 25 people in his workshop. Was that the one your daughter was on or was it another date? I wonder how many sessions they were doing in total. They're back at school today after the break so I'm hoping we're put out of our misery this week or next!

My daughter did an interview and workshop for FMP around 2 - 3 weeks ago now for KS4. Just wondering how many people roughly auditioned to calculate the odds. She did very well in the workshop and the interview went okay. Her portfolio and written application also went very well. We are also in catchment. I really want this for her. Has anyone heard back yet?

So even getting a invite to audition is fantastic as they have a thousand odd applicants who apply and not everyone gets a audition but fingers crossed I’m patiently waiting on the result my dd has a offer for the London college of performing arts but obviously would want the Brit school

IT depends on the strands auditions have been going from December till April for ks4 and post 16 I imagine at least a few hundred for each strand and not that many places think for ks4 they take 25 each strand and 50 for musical theatre but I could be wrong a bit more for post 16 still extremely difficult to get in too when there are a lot of talented children applying

I don't know. My DD has her interview beginning of the next week, her friend - end of the next week. I don't think there will be any decision (DA/VAD) until all interviews are done.

I thought they interviewed everyone week beginning the 23rd Feb..do you know how many kids they interview?

Dd had her post 16 theatre strand audition on the 23/02 the wait is giving me extra grey hair im becoming a mumsnet stalker !!! too see if anyone has heard anything regarding getting a offer, honesty I’ve become obsessed lol wishing everyone good luck

How was your VAD interview? Was there any workshop or task during application proccess is considered as "workshop"?

Be patient, some DCs have not had their interview yet!😀

Year 10 Theatre strand.

VD Post 16 🙄- whatever happens I know my DD tried.

I agree! Which strand are you waiting on?

The wait is agonising!😮

Waiting to hear the outcome for Yr 10 theatre strand workshop (was on the 27/02), is anyone else, good luck everyone!

Brit School are on holidays now until 16th March so unfortunately I suspect we won't hear anything until after then - I'm not sure who the waiting is worse for, the kids or the parents!

My daughter did ask and was told there were 90-96 auditioned over 3 days for MT. There were i think ~30 on each day but of course that could be wrong. We were friday afternoon.

Yes its so daunting, did she make notes? They take nerves into account.
So are you in catchment? I feel apprehensive over the travel but Im sure they'll get used to it quickly.
I'm unsure when they get told but assumed it would be at the end of March and there's definitely 25 spaces but unsure of no.s of auditions 😀

Yes she sings . She spoke so fast during the interview as she was nervous but she is only 13! It is daunting for them ! I think what’s meant to be will be and if not she will get more experience and apply for 6th form .I am more worried about her getting in than not getting in as will be an upheaval for travel , friends etc but I want her to follow her passion/ talent .

Do you think they are seeing 120 again this year for 25 spaces ? Do you think we will find out early next week ? I think that was roughly the timeline for last year .
