The Brit School Réserve List 2025

[ByFunnyLion]

My dd is on the Réserve list and I wondered, does anyone on the Réserve list get called. Does anyone know how many places there are for MT 16+ and how many are on the Réserve list?

Normally around 10 places on the reserved list

It’s a shame they don’t let you know where you are in the list so you can gauge whether there is any hope getting in

My DS on the reserve list for theatre strand +16. He’s still hopeful (I’m not) does anyone know if they ever take people from the list?
when I contacted the school via email
about the list, they wrote that if a space becomes available the strand director reviews the list and decides who to offer the place to.

I've written back for a clarification of whether that means there is so ranked order to the reserve list, as this is what that means to me.

Can anyone provide some insight?

My understanding is that it is like for like.

So if an in catchment girl drops out then they will replace with another in catchment girl. Out of catchment boy with out of catchment boy and so on.

Whether they have some kind of ranking within those categories I don't know, nor whether they match for type/skillset as well as sex and OOC or IC (drama colleges for example won't take 12 tall, white, red-haired girls even if they happen to be the "best" in the audition room as they want a range of types).

My DD is on the reserve list for sixth form FMP. I wonder how many are on this list. My older DD attended Brit for Vad and left last year. She said there were some on her course from the reserve but she didn’t know how many. I’m guessing once you have your place people rarely shout about it. Good luck to all waiting too.

Has anyone heard anything? We haven’t. I have called a couple of time and they have said there has been some movement.

@Croydongal75 I called few times back in June but it was no movement for Theatre post 16 and they told me sometimes during the summer break things change.
Apparently they do make offers from the reserve list.

We have been offered a place from reserve list

What year/strand? and did they call on a Sunday, or last week??! :) Congrats!

Dance. We got fhe call on results day

Hi I’m on the reserved list for MT 16. I’m still waiting and I have been. I be been seeing that everybody from the reserved list have been accepted but me. I’m trying not to lose hope but I hope to get a place before the third week of September

Hi @Mirabel16 I don’t think everybody from the reserved list did get a place. I think only 1 person from MT.
My son is also on the reserved list for Theatre post 16 but I doubt someone will drop out now.
We have move on and enrolled somewhere else,
He’s disappointed…
