Sorry thought I had replied!
Thankyou for the advice, will have a look

Great, informative post Live_thedream. Differing view on Chichester than my DD but good to hear different opinions because everyone is different.

Hello, I have no words of wisdom for you but you're doing the right thing by gathering info together now. I thought I had gathered all the info I needed about funding over the years but things change & pop up from time to time unexpectedly! Funding is a nightmare isn't it unless covered by stude...

*fund*

Wow good luck to DC's who have recalls at Mountview today, exciting times =D> We have another lifeline from EDA & im keeping everything crossed that we can sort something out somehow. DD loved the place & the staff & she said Emil himself was lovely, I actually haven't come across a bad ...

Hello I wonder if anyone has any funding ideas? My daughter has been offered a part scholarship to Emil Dale Academy but it still leaves a substantial amount to find & as a single parent it's beyond me. The course isn't eligible for student loans/gov funding etc as it's a private institution. We...

Also after declining the offer from Emil Dale & not hearing back from them I had a phone call from them today offering a larger scholarship because she scored highly in all disciplines which was lovely. Still don't think it's financially 'doable' though ](*,) so maybe a gap year would be a good ...

Yes Beanie-bean it is very stressful & difficult financially but to be honest I've quite enjoyed it. DD has also got a lot out of the auditions process too & it has helped her confidence wise. Kzgirl, she's thinking of taking a gap year. When she chose her ucas options she chose places she t...

Jasmine2 I did email EDA, the 1st time they replied with some ideas but the 2nd & 3rd time I received no reply. I also tried ringing several times but no answer, we had until 14th April to pay the deposit but £300 is a lot of money to lose if we couldn't secure funding by Sept so in the end we h...

Thanks islandofsodor, I think we'll pop along to the open evening & she can take another look without the pressure of an audition in her mind.

Yes you're right it does have a good name. Well done to your DD =D> . What I think is that my daughter is a perfectionist & because she was in her opinion making mistakes she put herself in a downer & didn't enjoy the day haha. She said she liked the dance teacher but the others were too 'pr...

Hello everyone, Congrats to everyones talented DC's for all offers etc. My DD has had a roller coaster audition process! She originally applied through ucas to The Hammond, GSA, Chichester Uni, Uni of Lancashire & Wolverhampton Uni. She also applied To Emil Dale Academy for their Hamilton worksh...

Done

Sounds good
Please can you look at somewhere nr North Wales like Chester or LLandudno as there is never anything nearby & it takes over an hr & a half to get to Liverpool by train & about 3 hrs to get to S Wales etc!!
Fingers crossed

An excellent post...thankyou =D> My dd is 13yrs old & academic but also a talented performer so getting the balance right is so difficult sometimes! We have decided on not getting her an agent yet & encouraging her to work hard at school & look fairly locally for auditions, or to look fo...
