Hey all - I am hoping to find some experience from people who have been through the performing arts 6th form process in London.
DD is applying for several and we do have open days planned for regular schools who do BTEC in performing arts also as back up.
Like lots of performing arts kids we know, she is not academic, so this is the route we think will be the most positive environment. She has plenty of performing experience -not West End - and has done some officially graded exams too - Lamda. Tons of passion and confidence in front of audition panels.
Can anyone shed any light on the application and audition process for any schools they tried for please ? Are we waiting until March realistically to know if she got in any? We have had 1 reserve list confirmed after workshop (outcome March 26 - anyone know if this is a positive? ) Another audition day next week - London College of Performing Arts. After application, she has been invited to the first round of BRIT workshop in Dec.
Her passion is Musical Theatre as she loves singing and acting so doesn't want to drop the singing element. Dancing is NOT her strong point though.
Thanks all!
