That sounds positive @Newgirls - they must have liked what they saw to ask for more rather than just passing over!

Comefromaway · 22/04/2021 14:58

It does sound positive? I wonder if they maybe have something specific in mind for her.

Janet25 · 22/04/2021 15:12

Ooh that’s promising @Newgirls, did they say how soon they wanted it for?

DramMum · 22/04/2021 15:18

@allhailthebrain where are you based? Have you looked at BOA (Birmingham)? They do not charge any fees and they offer A levels alongside a pathway. My DD is still year 6, but I know a number of friends kids are there at the moment. They take kids at year 10 and year 12 so can also do GCSEs there. Not sure if there are other colleges like BOA elsewhere in the country??

Just nearly had a heart attack! Email from BYmT - just a marketing one ...

Anyone know anything about Hurtwood House? They seem to be stalking me via some unknown algorithm or another, but it has piqued my interest a little...

How much money have you got?

Comefromaway · 22/04/2021 15:44

Hurtwood are probably one of the most expensive private schools. We were talking earlier of fees of around £18k per year for other specialist performing arts schools. Hurtwood is £13k PER TERM.

doesanybodyhaveamap · 22/04/2021 15:48

So where DD is at the moment, her full fees for the year if we didn't' have MDS would be £47k! However, we do have MDS hence she is able to go... £13k per term would not be doable!

13k is for a day student, its an extra £1.5k for boarding on top!

One thing to also remember is that MDS covers boarding costs. DaDa doesn't so you have to pay accommodation for Musical Theatre courses. Which at somewhere like Tring which is school style boarding houses is pretty costly. Dd's homestay cost £130 per week. She's now in halls which is £120 per week plus food.

Janet25 · 22/04/2021 16:17

@doesanybodyhaveamap congratulations that’s great news!!! Looking forward to hearing others news over the coming days x

doesanybodyhaveamap · 22/04/2021 16:18

I've no idea with musicians.... . I know of another musician offer for Hunchback but that's all so far.

Last year the musician offers went out after the stage castings so this is already different!
