ponklemum Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I haven’t seen a thread on Moorland so I thought I’d start one. My ds has auditioned for year 7 entry and earlier this evening I received an email offering him a place. I won’t be able to accept without financial help so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the bursary audition. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a video audition? Yes it was video audition and they had to be in by the 31st December. I think I put ds video in on the 28th December. I got the results earlier this evening xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMoo2 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Bear in mind there’s no dada at Moorland, we looked at it for DS but the fees are astronomical without any sort of bursary. Great if you have a lotto win in! 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I’d love for him to get a bursary and be able to go, but what will be will be xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutugirl Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I can’t recommend this school highly enough . Several of my pupils have gone on to train there . It is like one big happy family . Small classes and amazing teaching . Definitely up there with the best . My DS attended their Summer school several times and gained such a lot from it . Although he wasn’t a full time student at Moorlands , the teachers have continued to follow his progress , and offer advice and support when he has needed it . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BisforBallet Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Does anyone have any info on what a typical day looks like for a Yr 7 and what additional classes are offered over and above ballet. I can’t find the info although I am sure I had it. Also, for anyone there already, DD keen to find out about boarding. How many to a room etc She’s also now panicking that she can’t do her own bun.

WhatsThePointe Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Has anyone else had problems getting replies from Moorland? My DD was offered a place and I have emailed asking for a phone call to answer some questions. Not had a reply despite chasing it up (over 2 weeks now, 3 since my 1st email). I also tried the admissions person yesterday but not heard from him yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisforBallet Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I got an initial email from admissions manager but no phone call yet. They have been a little quiet but then dealing with lockdown/ home schooling maybe stretched. have you called them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flower Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) So we now have an offer, and the bursary audition to look forward to, but I can’t quite understand if they’re *just* reviewing what’s already been sent or if there is an actual zoom class to assess them?

Melly R Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I would be very much keen to have a copy of Moorlands fees please. My DD has been offered at place in Yr12, took us out of the blue too. Also has an unfunded place offered at Tring. I may need to sell my other child to afford these places!
