Got a reply to my email this morning from a Michelle saying they are 'hoping decisions will be sent on Friday' but no apology / explanation😩@fenellafoofoo they told you yday by the 23rd right?😂

Dancemum23 · 22/04/2026 09:45

My appeal link has disappeared now fingers crossed everyone still patiently waiting for ks4 dance 💃

Just noticed that Induction Day for Post 16 is Monday 29th June 🙂

Hi Okeil - can I ask where you saw that please? I have either missed something or perhaps that is specific to your course 🤔

I just emailed and they said we’d know by the 23rd! So confusing….

Ah thank you! 🙏 very confusing indeed but at least there’s hope we may hear sooner. I did also email about half an hour ago. @fenellafoofoo we quite possibly met during the audition day - unless somebody else also has an older daughter who was academic / weighing up which school to choose 🤣 if so - I sat opposite you in the canteen, where a few of us mums met and chatting away for the entire workshop …😅

Dancemum23 · 21/04/2026 15:09

Omg they said Friday as they dont send until then so the kids are home arghhh

I just called and they said the additional phase 2 appeal is meant to be on everyone's applicca so havent a clue but she said friday we will hear 🙏

Appreciate your updates! 🙏😅 how confusing. Ah so she confirmed Friday again then… is that for all KS4 dance applicants do you know? It seems so far away now after expecting a response a little sooner! 😂

JTro · 21/04/2026 10:13

As I remember from previous years discussions, if there is a link to the appeal on applicaa account before they announce their decision, it means a reserved place or rejections.

@Dancemum23 thanks for update. I just checked yes there is additional phase but you can’t click it.

What does your additional phase say?

Dancemum23 · 21/04/2026 10:02

@BeJadeMoose yes I no it seems silly we have waited 2 months now it is torturous. I thought she may have sent an additional email after I had called but didn't they will end up with a lot of calls thursday lol. I may ring about my portal in a bit and see what they say 🤣

BeJadeMoose · 21/04/2026 09:56

Thank you @Dancemum23 and @fenellafoofoo my goodness - you can understand the need to allow a very limited number of applicants audition as late as yesterday because of some exceptional reasons - but it sounds like more than just one or two, so I’m curious as to why now 😅
I really wish they’d have updated us if it has changed to Friday following the email update telling us those specific dates - my daughter is going to lose her mind at the idea of waiting now until Friday when everyday we are hoping and expecting for some news - this is torturous! 😂😂

fenellafoofoo · 21/04/2026 09:00

That’s exactly what I can see @BeJadeMoose. I was told by a current student that there were some dance applicants auditioning yesterday which accounts for the lateness….

Dancemum23 · 21/04/2026 08:59

@BeJadeMoose mine is all the same but under additional phases it says phase 2 appeal. Yes I called and I said dont we usually hear friday she said oh yes I am so sorry. They had there last interview yesterday I was told when I called that is why dance is so delayed it is so frustrating.

BeJadeMoose · 21/04/2026 08:55

Dancemum23 · 20/04/2026 19:04

I was told we will hear friday for dance. Has your applica changed to phase 2 appeal?

Show quote history

Thank you for this! I cannot see any appeal link on my daughters applicaa account - can only see form status and reference status stating completed and in green and below that ‘application’ in green above the additional phases reference. Is this different to yours?

And just to confirm you were told we would hear Friday? Did they get the 20-23rd dates they stated in their email to us wrong? Waiting very nervously here!

MummyT43 · 21/04/2026 01:12

Does anyone know when information about induction days and other key details will be emailed out?

I got an email today with the gcse options info.

DaringTulip11 · 20/04/2026 21:33

Anyone else struggling with the KS4 options form it’s because the form wants each subject selected as a 1st/2nd/3rd preference.. even the one they can’t actually do!! For example my DD is doing VAD but the form wants a pretence for GCSE art and design which of course she can’t do. I’ve emailed the school to let them know.

Hope those still waiting for Dance find out very soon!

SENaroundtheworld · 20/04/2026 20:37

My daughter’s updated to that for post 16 in the week before results - she got a spot on the reserve list

Oh really we're supposed to hear this week 🙏
