I asked for a little more information and they’ve told me what position my dd is on the list. Oh that’s interesting, they never used to have an ‘ordered’ list, they’ve always said it was a reserve ‘pool’ because they looked at the overall picture of who had accepted or gone elsewhere, and where there might be spaces in boarding etc. It wasn’t as simple as who was next on the list.

Yes I was surprised it worked this way also, maybe there are separate wait lists for girls and boys, that way if a boy declines they can look at the boy reserve list. They also said the list remains open during the academic year so there is always the chance they will get called upon, that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then two weeks into the September term she was offered the opportunity to join her year group for an assessment class with Mr Parker. She started at the school following the half term of Y8. So yes it does happen. @dancefanaticWas your DD on the reserve list after her auditions? Thats so fabulous to have been given that chance; I fear we won’t be so lucky though as my DD is trying for a Y9 space and I’m sure theyre like gold dust, but we’ll live in hope. If not, she’ll be back again no doubt. We’ve applied for Summer School aswell 😁 Edited March 30, 2021 by Jete Battu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returnofthejedi Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 For anyone who has applied for Summer School, when you submitted your application was there a fee to pay? I've submitted ours this evening and the final page said submit & pay. I checked the summary table and clicked submit but didn't see any payment details, is this correct?? For RB there is a fee to pay for summer intensive applications so want to make sure I've not done something wrong 🤔🤔 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t say 100% that there isn’t a fee this year, but they are very good at responding to emails. Good luck with your application! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSmum Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hi All I'm just wondering about the Elmhurst Summer School. My DS has been offered a place at Elmhurst for year 7 entry. Should we still apply for the summer school? Are there any other year 7 entry pupils on here going to be doing it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks DD loved doing the summer school just before starting Year 7. It gave her a chance to get her bearings around the school and get used to some of the routines (meals in the Bistro and doing her own hair!) while it was still low-pressure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrise81 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 For any new Year 7 parents, then take a look at the second hand uniform page. Obviously with MDS you get your uniform grant, but you may want to save some money on their formal uniform which isn't covered by MDS. Hope I am allowed to share the FB page? https://www.facebook.com/groups/711211885650689/?ref=share 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara Eschler Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi Everyone, I was just wondering about the medical form for Year 7 entry, is that something a regular NHS GP would do, or is a private GP needed? Has anyone booked this already? It just seems quite detailed questionnaire requiring urine samples as well.? Thanks xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks xx My DD was only offered a place of the wait list yesterday and we looked at this today. I was hoping someone would ask this question as it looks very detailed and I am sure my GP practice will charge for it as you would definitely need an appointment to complete. I am going to call my practice on Tuesday. I will update this thread when I have an answer. X Edited April 2, 2021 by Ballet Dreams 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Yes, I’ve been told I have to book an online consultation and then there may be a charge as it’s out with what the NHS would cover. I’m assuming it’ll be cheaper doing that than booking a complete private GP appointment but not sure! x 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking maybe it would be a good idea to have a check-up before starting, I get a bit anxious about health stuff that is why I wanted to know more about the physio checks too. I was surprised by the details of the questionnaires and was wondering whether it would affect an offer if any problems were found. Alo, my dc haven't see a doctor in ages.

Raquelle Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I rang my GP who said they aren't doing face to face medicals then rang BuPa and they said they weren't doing medical assessments for under 18s..so I've emailed Elmhurst to explain...I'm not sure whether it might be different in England but I'm going to struggle in Wales to get the assessment done x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballet Dreams Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) I have spoken to our GP Practice Manager this morning about the Health Form and have made an in person appointment for my DD to complete.

Glad to hear it’s not a new request for this year. My practice has quoted £86 or £132 depending on how long it takes or which fee my GP decides to charge. But just glad they have agreed to complete seeing we are still in a pandemic. Edited April 7, 2021 by Ballet Dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
