My DD is in yr 7 and was offered a place without being able to have a physio appt as their final uditions were just another class. She didn't have a physio assessment until her second week there ย And whilst she was a JA we always thought the physio appt was pointless if we are honest and it made her very insecure about her legs.....when the physio has hold of your leg, then looks at your knee, then look back at you and say "don't worry about the shape of your knees, they will change over time".........erm, thanks for upsetting her!!!

I am quite relieved as itโs nice to keep hoping that the kids will be able to go in person which I think is so important for them! Yes, Iโm sure youโre right,ย in the initial release about video auditions I am sure they wrote about being well versed in choosing candidates from videos. The only worry is if it goes on any later than March, the parents of the children who have been accepted might perhaps have less time to get their heads around letting their DC go! So hopefully by the end of March the numbers and vaccinations will allow for in person auditions. Fingers tightly crossed! Itโs great that RBS were so on the ball with sending the email to keep us updated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
