Pointytoes Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hi All, my daughter auditioned also for year 7 this year and has been placed in the reserve pool for Elmhurst. I do feel that a place may now be out of reach but she is staying positive until the ultimate no. With no previous experience of this ballet world I am finding this state of limbo difficult. Does anyone know how many children approximately are placed in this pool and has anyone on this forum ever gained a place in this manner? Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Bonnie2011 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hi pointytoes Don't lose heart yet as we have turned down our place at Elmhurst after accepting white lodge (with a sad heart I must add as I loved elmhurst) and I know of at least two other girls who have done the same. There should be some lovely letters sent to some lucky girls soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletnovice Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Two ballerinas, Are the girls you are referring to the same ones that Waiting Mum mentioned in post dated 25th? Â Pointy toes, We're also in the same position. Fingers crossed we have good news after the bank holiday- this feels like such a long Easter!

Pointytoes Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Indeed Ballet Novice has felt like a long Easter! Personally I would just like some closure and move on either way. Feel disappointed that it wasn't all sorted before Easter. This process continues to be a learning curve! Â Twoballerinas, congratulations,and thanks for kind and positive words.

Jan McNulty Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hello Pointytoes and welcome to the Forum. Â Good luck to your DD. Â Please let us know how you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie2011 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Balletnovice. I don't believe they are. I think that they are different girls. Sounds like there may be a few places that have opened up. Keeping my fingers crossed for those on the reserve list. Â Pontytoes. Thanks for the congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletnovice Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Thanks for reply Twoballerinas your daughter must be so excited- well done to her. Â Fingers crossed Pointytoes for news next week. Please let me know if you hear anything. Let's hope we have two happy girls this time next week. Â Ps I'm presuming my daughters on the waiting list for a funded place as this is what we applied for!

Farawaydancer Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 My ds is also waiting in the reserve pool. We're doing our best to try and forget about it all now but it's really hard! I really wish they had given some kind of timescale in the letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointytoes Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I agree, a timescale would have been good. Good luck to those still in this waiting game. Thank you to those who have taken the time out to reply and best wishes to all our children whatever path they are about to embark upon this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccolo Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Is this likely to affect the Tring wait listers? Wondering if places taken up at Elmhurst would free up places at Tring? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut68 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Nor me...might these recent offers (& congrats to all!) free up any places at Tring/Hammond I wonder??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletnovice Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 My dd was on a couple of waiting lists but this is the first offer of a place. Sorry her accepting a place at Elmhurst won't free up a place anywhere else. Fingers crossed that places become available for others on waiting list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointytoes Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yes, for year 7 at Elmhurst as the earlier post enquires, and no application for the other two schools mentioned above. Good luck .x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
