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!

@AliWhiting congrats on the job offer! how perfect it would be to combine that with a Brit offer 🤞.

I just caved and gave them a call to see if there might be an indication of when to expect decisions. They said it’ll be over the next couple of weeks as they are not long back from their half term break 😔. So I’m going to try (probably unsuccessfully) to put it out of my mind for now!

Oh nooooooooo! Not another 2 weeks.
Doh.

@Pop53 - aw huge congrats to your son! My daughter got an email too when she got her offer so depending whether he has a phone with email on it he may find out. My daughter didn't dare read her email, she wanted to wait till she was home, but her friend read his so was in the middle of a science lesson when he found out!

ginman · 21/03/2024 10:45

Aww, congrats to your daughter @ginman, so happy for you both that you were able to find out moments before your trip! That’ll be a special memory.

Sounds like it’s just musical theatre and music left? 🍀 🍀 🍀

HCfitness · 21/03/2024 11:08

@Pop53 @ginman congrats to your children! Waiting to hear from music - good luck to everyone still patiently waiting to hear back 😅💪

LiveMusic · 21/03/2024 11:25

Massive Congratulations to all new FMP Brit students!!!
I've just heard that the director of Music is off sick so the decisions about the Music Strand could be delayed..

Atmywittsend1 · 21/03/2024 11:27

Oh nooooo 😭 @LiveMusic but thanks for the update!

Josey82 · 21/03/2024 11:30

Congrats to everyone receiving good news today! Woop woop!

Templeria · 21/03/2024 11:43

Aw huge congrats to your daughter @ginman - I guess a lot of our kids might be in lessons together from September for all the standard curriculum stuff!

You must be so pleased the waiting is over. My heart goes out to all you music and and MT folk that are still waiting - hope the wait is over for you soon.

Roman4864 · 21/03/2024 11:58

Congratulations to all that received good news and just in time for the weekend 🥳

My friend’s son was interviewed for VAD and didn’t get a place but got invited to apply for the production arts course. Has anyone got any experience of being invited to apply for a different course or of production arts? She’s worried about him going through the process and being rejected again and doesn’t know much about the course but can see it might be great. I’m not sure how common it is to be invited to try a different course.

If he's been invited it must mean there is spaces i expect, or they may feel thats more suited. Its an option worth looking at surely?

Yes apparently there are spaces. It sounds a really interesting course so hopefully he will decide to go for it.

@ginman @Pop53 Congratulations on your Daughter/Sons offer! That’s amazing news!!!!

Do you know if the FMP nos and reserves also went out today or whether they went out earlier?

Still waiting for MT so wondering how they will do it x
