Me too! Feel like our lives are on hold 😅don't suppose you know if the delay relates only to KS4 dance strand or other strands too? Are they still auditioning people? A whole extra month - I wonder why such a significant delay. Help. Hahaha

No it just takes around 4 weeks but they just had a two week holiday also

It’s awful I’m more stressed than my daughter apparently we shouldn’t by the start of Easter

Hey all - I received the same email today for my DD who had her workshop and interview for KS4 Dance 27th Feb. Email stated. decisions between 20th-23rd April as their admissions process is still ongoing. Anybody else? Does anyone know anything more on this, whether it's unique to the dance strand and/or why such a delay and what it means? We are both pulling out hair our here! 😂

@QuedateLuna For KS4, I didn't specify my daughter's stand on the phone :)

Good luck

Thanks for the update

Britobsession · 19/03/2026 13:28

The wait is torturous lol just put us out of our misery either way when DD went to the London college of performing arts she found out she got a place two days later nice quick efficient this waiting for the Brit school has giving me extra grey hair !!!! And thanks for clarifying hopefully we will all get to hear soon

fenellafoofoo · 19/03/2026 13:20

It’s ks4 and for dance. Monday will be 4 weeks for us also.

Britobsession · 19/03/2026 13:17

Is that for ks4? I’m waiting to hear regarding ks5 theatre strand it will be coming up to 4 weeks on Monday so was hoping it might be this week or early next week

fenellafoofoo · 19/03/2026 13:00

Omg just had an email that decisions will be shared between 20 and 23 April! That’s so long to wait!!

Is it for KS4 or post 16? What strand? But that's possible as my DD on Tuesday was told decision will be in 3-4 weeks

I spoke to them on the phone yesterday and they said that the places will be told to everyone next week, 4 weeks from the original workshop, before Easter :)

I spoke yesterday with the admission team, they are still doing interviews for DA strand, they are not finished with interviews yet

QuedateLuna · 19/03/2026 12:15

@OneCoralReader thank you so much!

For all Strands and for KS4 as well? Thanks

QuedateLuna · 19/03/2026 11:48

Has anyone heard from VAD KS4 yet?

I have a feeling we won't hear anything until next week. From what I have seen on previous years (except last year when they heard three weeks after the workshops for MT) they will usually take the 4 weeks and even a bit longer to get back with a decision. They have two weeks half term after the auditions and so this week is their first week back. They told my daughter on her workshop (25.02 - KS4 MT) that they will have news in two weeks, but we are already in week 3 and no news so I'm just going with what their admissions booklet says :) We know other kids applying for Music, Dance and Graphic Design and they haven't hear either so I guess we sit tight a wait. I think my daughter at this point just wants to know so she can move on, which I totally get.

Krystel2407 · 19/03/2026 10:23

Has anyone heard back from workshop auditions yet the wait is beyond nerve racking

Britobsession · 18/03/2026 18:04

Still waiting post 16 theatre strand has anyone had an offer yet???? Received a email the wait is killing me lol
