Thank you, didn’t know that!

Our understanding is there are no formal vocational qualifications on the acting course, no BTec. They just do A levels. The A levels were the main priority for us, as that leaves DS with more options post 18.

That’s brilliant news, congratulations! They may end up as classmates!

Many thanks lawn and justaphase. We did love the school and can imagine DS there. Wickednellie, hope your DD got good news too. It’s nail-biting waiting for news, don’t want to wish the next few months away (he needs all the revision time he can get for his GCSEs!) but a lot of stuff is up in the ai...

How did your DD get on? Was it the Acting Course she auditioned for? DS auditioned on 6th November and the letter arrived today, so once again a two week wait. He’s got a place, and a recall for a scholarship in March (keeping everything crossed, as we can’t afford full fees!). Much excitement here ...

The vocational training seems of a very high standard, the showcase at the open day was absolutely superb. There are other places that provide great vocational training but what really sets TP apart is the strength and breadth of the academic offering. 3 A levels are expected of the Acting students,...

Thanks so much, he loved it there, and felt very comfortable. DH and I believe he would flourish in that environment. He’s got to get some funding though, we can’t stretch to the full fees, so we’re hoping beyond hope he gets invited back for a scholarship audition in March!

Thanks, it was last week, he had a good day, got on well with the other auditionees, and enjoyed the experience. Felt he’d done his best, but he’s really unsure whether he’ll get in. The group workshop was much shorter than he expected so he couldn’t guauge how he compared to the others. Anxiously a...

Thanks so much for the replies. We looked at the CAPA prospectus last night, liked what we saw. We’ll also have a look at York as you suggest. Thanks also to Justaphase, that’s very encouraging. I’ll pass your message on to DS. I’ve only just registered on the site (been lurking a couple of months)....

Thanks for the reply, he’s a bright lad but anxious about the assessment. He said himself it’s probably the bit he should be least worried about! How is your DD getting on? I’m assuming she left Tring after GCSEs, where did she go? Hope it’s working out well and she’s happy. We’re looking at various...

My DS will be auditioning next month. Does anybody know what form the academic assessment takes? Also, any idea how many applicants per place? (Acting course).
