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!

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 😍

yay! Comgratulations!!

Looking forward to the weekend - at least we don't have to check emails! Lol! Brit is really close to us and just perfect for my DD but keep trying to manage her hopes and dreams 😬

@girlwhowearsglasses congratulations 🎉

Feel like im going crazy checking emails every 5mins! Why is IDD taking so long!?

Also does anyone know how offers work ? Is it yes, no and reserve list or all no's automatically go on the reserve list? X

I emailed on this and was told the reserve list is essentially a Yes but waiting on a place to be available. ie someone doesn’t take their offer, or goes to the school and it isn’t for them. 🤞🏽fingers crossed, for us, someone has had offers elsewhere and rejects their place 😂🤞🏽

Skysti · 07/03/2024 14:40

@Mummy0fFour I’m with you hun, my nerves are all over the place it’s been two weeks today & still no update 😫 I suppose no news is good news right?

Have you checked to see whether it has changed from pending on the application page? I still can’t bring myself to do it 🫣

congrats@Roman4864 for getting on the reserves list 🎉

My DD got the email yesterday that she has been accepted onto Theatre strand. She has wanted to go to Brit School since she was about 8 and we live in the area so she is beyond excited. She's passionate about theatre but has never been in a "real" production - just school and Stagecoach type affairs, so I had not idea how much of a chance she really stood. It feels a bit like she's been accepted to Hogwarts!

Skysti · 07/03/2024 14:46

@xplodingkitten Aww that’s so sweet. Congratulations to your daughter 🎉

Yaababy · 07/03/2024 14:47

I am glad to find this. DD audition on 23/02/24 Musical theatre. Two of her friends from same school got rejection emails this week. Not sure what is happening just keeping my fingers crossed.
Good luck everyone, hopefully soon

Amazing congratulations!! My daughter described it as the same actually! For these kids it’s the dream like Hogwarts is for magicians!

Hi all, Congratulations to all those who have been accepted and those on reserve list.

We also found out our DD is on the reserve list for Dance. We are all so proud of her, this is such an achievement. We have everything crossed that a place becomes available now.

We too were told that this was essentially a yes, but waiting on a place to become available.

The checking of emails doesn't stop here :)

Mummy0fFour · 07/03/2024 18:13

@Skysti yes I checked yesterday. It just said 'pending'. It took me hours to build up the courage to look 😂 pretty pathetic 😔
Have you managed to check ? X

@Roman4864 oh I see thank you for explaining! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽

Skysti · 07/03/2024 19:16

@Mummy0fFour nope I still have checked🤣 it’s better if I don’t look as my anxiety is already at fever pitch! 🫣😵‍💫
The most I can bring myself to do is keep checking this post for updates .😄

@Josey82 congratulations to your daughter 🎉

Hi @Yaababy My DD auditioned for MT on the 23rd too. Did her friends who got rejected apply for MT too or a different strand?
