Hi Guys
Today my daughter was offered an interview for Film & Media. It won’t be long now, before they contact everyone.

Great news, good luck

Anyone know how many places are there for each strand? For KS4

Thank you. DD is applying for theatre. 25 is nothing; getting a place is like winning the lottery

Honestly it really is, it's such a worrying time, my daughter fell in love with the school on the open day and that was it, there was no other option for her. God only knows how she would have reacted if she didn't get a spot. I feel for you guys.

Don't forget there is the waiting list too, some people don't accept their spot and also my daughter had two people leave within the first 3 weeks and then two more got offered them spots. X

We just received the email for MT workshop and meeting, so hopefully you all should get it soon 🤞

Hi,
Thanks for starting this thread, so nice to hear other parents going through the same nerve racking experience 😬 My DD applied for MT but we are out of catchment (just) Still waiting to hear, hoping we'll find out soon...
Good luck to everyone!

Still nothing for theatre strand. Anyone else heard? DS's friend has received invitation for workshop for film and media production.

Ejulesd · 30/01/2025 12:29

We haven't heard from the theatre strand yet either.

Anyone that has applied for dance had a reply yet... Suspense is killing us 🤦🏽‍♀️😭

Wimbomum · 30/01/2025 17:29

Not heard anything for dance, no.

Wimbomum · 30/01/2025 17:41

I checked the application portal yesterday and it said Reference status ‘Not Sent’, which was unsettling. My son’s Head of Year confirmed she hadn’t been asked for a reference yet. What could this mean? 🤔

They probably only ask for references after they've whittled down from the workshops/interviews

Wimbomum · 30/01/2025 18:43

That would make sense. Otherwise they’d have 1000s of references to plough through. Am just paranoid about things getting lost in the ether!
