Brit School KS4 2024

Hi all,

I thought I'd start a thread for KS4 applications for Brit School as my daughter has her workshop and interview this week and I know we will both be anxiously waiting to here afterwards!

She's applying for Film and Media production strand as is really passionate about working within the film industry..

We have no idea what to expect at the workshop and interview at all!

good luck to anyone else there this week!

I’ve had a google, phase 1 is to appeal against not getting an interview (I think). Phase 2 is to appeal if you are declined a place, or if you are put on a waiting list.

So my gut feeling is she will be given an outright decline or placed on a reserve list 🤔 😞

And for some reason that has appeared on her page before the decision 🤷‍♀️

Oh, I see. Gosh, I do hope that’s not the way you’re finding out. That’s really rubbish. ☹️ Keeping my fingers crossed for you, @GreenPombear xxx

GreenPombear · 05/03/2024 12:39

We’ve just received the email, it’s a no 😞

Skysti · 05/03/2024 12:49

@GreenPombear we’re waiting to hear back regarding IDD. There is nothing under additional phases either. Maybe it’s an error. Can you access you child application? Maybe log in with their details & see if you get the same message X

Skysti · 05/03/2024 13:03

@GreenPombear my phone crashed & I responded before I saw you latest message. I’m so sorry it’s not the outcome you had hoped for. X

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear this, @GreenPombear It’s so hard. 😔

GreenPombear · 05/03/2024 13:09

I’ve no idea if she will have found out yet, so I’m dreading pick up 😞

@GreenPombear From what I understand, the KS4 children only receive acceptance emails, not rejection emails, and this is so that their parents can tell them rather than them receiving an email with bad news when they’re on their own. X

So sorry for you and your DD, sending you lots of love going forward. This is going to be a really hard few weeks for so many kids and parents 🥲

@GreenPombear I'm so sorry you've not got the news you'd hoped for. It really sucks. Hope your DD will be okay. X

Templeria · 05/03/2024 14:30

@GreenPombear Sending hugs and really sorry you've not had the news you wanted - I dont know whether it's tougher for the kids or the parents! xx

HCfitness · 05/03/2024 17:48

@GreenPombear hope she isn't too devastated 🙏

ginman · 06/03/2024 15:24

ginman · 06/03/2024 15:54

Weirdly my daughter's (VAD strand) still says pending but she has an offer and we've completed the paperwork!

One of her friends had an offer earlier today for theatre (in catchment) though so they are starting to come out.

@ginman So hard not to overthink though isn't it? I've been having to tell myself that the lack of pending doing anything doesn't mean anything, even though she had an offer!😂

Good luck to you - hope the waiting is over soon!

ginman · 07/03/2024 08:44

Back to Pending on application!!!! Need to stop looking!!

Congratulations to all the kids that got accepted 🤩 and big hugs to ones that didn’t 🙁
my daughter is on the reserve list for Theatre is anyone else been reserved or got a place. I know it’s impossible to tell but just want a little bit of hope that she gets a place 😊

girlwhowearsglasses · 07/03/2024 12:05

Beyond excited here as DS2 has just had the email and has a place at the Theatre course - he auditioned on 19th Feb.

Didn't expect to be so excited 😍

Templeria · 07/03/2024 12:07

@girlwhowearsglasses - huge well done to your son, that's amazing!

@Roman4864 - well done to your daughter too - to make the reserve list is a huge achievement in itself. No experience of how many from the reserve lists end up being offered a place, but will keep fingers crossed for you. xx

Roman4864 · 07/03/2024 12:11

@girlwhowearsglasses. Well done 🥳 x

@Templeria thank you x I’m so proud of my girl. Hopefully a place will pop up for her x

Atmywittsend1 · 07/03/2024 12:11

Well done to your DS @girlwhowearsglasses and thank you for posting - it’s helpful to see decisions start to come out for KS4 strands, although I feel like music will be last ☹️

ginman · 07/03/2024 12:27

Well done on that reserve place! from talking to others there is often movement, a friend of mines daughter got in for music the day before term started 2 years ago!
