It says though that they can’t guarantee a boarding place yet. Is this normal? Is it safe to accept a day place (we live the other end of the country)?! Hi i'm not too sure however my DD auditioned for the sixth form this year for both the acting and musical theatre course and was offered a boarding place on both courses - so she can choose - but on her letter it she was offered a place to board straight away - I hope this helps ? well done to your DD for getting.

The boarding for sixth form is in a fantastic new building but doesn’t mean there are more boarding places further down the school x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas de Quatre Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 As an aside, I still find it odd how most schools talk of Yrs 7 - 11 rather than Forms 1 - 5, but then everyone talks about 6th form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self isolating at school due to cases was particularly challenging & depressing for those brave youngsters who stayed in school (rather than go home) in order to protect their families; can’t have been easy for them or staff whichever boarding house they were in (though sone rooms more spacious than others for trying to dance in!) I think the 6th form students around the country are so missing out on the experiences they should be enjoying. Goodness knows how high a price will be paid in the long run through loss of training, loss of socialising, loss of motivation & self believe & happiness. I could weep when I think on this.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 We just have the date as the 13th but no timings yet. I’m going to email tomorrow actually to ask, because we will need to book accommodation but I just want to check it’s all still going ahead before I book it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonzin Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hello again. Is there anyone else here on the waitlist for Tring? I'm just wonedring if waitlisted places then go onto a final audition, should places become available, or if they are awarded or declined the places based on video entry alone? Does anyone know please? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I emailed Tring about five minutes ago and they’ve messaged straight back and confirmed the final audition will be going ahead on the 13th March and they are just working on the timing schedule now, so I feel better now and can book accommodation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the waiting list for boarding but had a day place (non funded) but gave up my place as can only afford with funding...I think unfunded places decided on first video, funded places decided on final funding auditions?

Ljmk Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi all, I’m just wondering how it works with final auditions. As I see most who got offered places for final audition in March has a date. Is there a second final audition too? Some of us had today’s date to get videos in and will be looked at first week of March, so if we have to wait as long as others we wouldn’t know before 13th March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macmac Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi @Ljmk. We had nothing in the post yet and we applied almost a month ago (our deadline was 4th Feb).

Macmac Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 @MrsR I was wondering if every year group (my dd is yr 9) is set to be reviewed at a different times? Or maybe if they (depend on the number of applicants) have a very high number of applicants/interest they create more 'auditioning groups'? Totally guessing here🤔 x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
