sunrise81 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Guessing it must be half term down there....not where I teach up north or at DDs vocational school! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Think it’s more a case of private schools breaking up a week before state ones for Easter (half terms I think are in Feb & May?) Edited October 13, 2021 by Peanut68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaCamargo Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Schools in neighbouring authorities here do not break up until 8th April and, since the disruption caused by the pandemic, many schools are being extra strict about attendance even for other educational activities.

Blue Box Ballet Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) ‘Non residential’ I think that explains it Covid cases in many UK schools are soaring namely because there are close to zero mitigation’s in place - many windows simply don’t open and mask wearing is not being encouraged. Also, even though vaccines are now bring offered, many parents are deciding it ‘isn’t safe’ for their children to get them. eg They’ve done their ‘own research’ (Facebook/ YouTube), sadly watching a few anti vax videos does not equate to decades of study of medical professionals - but hey I’m going off topic. White Lodge is a boarding school so it makes perfect sense for them to offer this type of non boarding intensive during a pandemic. It also puts them in a stronger position should restrictions change next year after everyone has booked.

Dancermom Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hi everyone, Given that the spring intensive course isnt residential this year I was wondering if this means that a lot more than usual will be accepted on the course? 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopelessMummy Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) By virtue of being able to cherry pick dates and only book one session a day, either morning or afternoon, I would assume so? Edited November 24, 2021 by HopelessMummy Didn't make sense the first time round 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbows Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 It’s a “no” for us. It’s also the first time we have had professionally photos done. Last time I just took them against the living room wall and last time we got waitlisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointeperfect Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 My DD got waitlist too. Doesn’t seem to be many yes’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystique Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 DD was waitlisted last year but received a yes this year. The letter we received said there would be a capacity of 26 in the morning session and 26 in the afternoon session for her age group 14/15. Congrats to those accepted and fingers crossed for those waitlisted. No is always hard so we try to think of them as not yet or not now💗 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear it worked - sounds like they have set up a system that didn’t work - they are not the best with IT if previous issues are anything to go by. 🥺 It’s the first year that they have said to use the same login - as far as I recall.
