Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry

It's not that far from Rose Bruford is it? My daughter is going there and we've found same thing. Mine tried applying for private housing but she also wasn't helped that she got a late offer so couldn't look earlier and the student houses seem a bit reluctant to take on an unknown first year (under...

MTA confirms it's closing

Sad news but the MTA has confirmed they will be shutting at the end of the academic year after they failed to secure promised funding.

Re: LOOKING FOR- Host Family Accommodation

Congrats to your DD for getting a place How old is your DD? I know that at Bird anyone who is 16 when they start have to be with a college approved host family, rather than rent locally / go into halls. They usually send the list out at the start of June. It's worth checking with the theatre school,...

Re: Auditioning for 2022 entry

Last year Bird sent their uniform list at the start of the summer holidays I think. It isn’t strict. They tend to wear black tights even for ballet. Leotards colour of their choice suitable style for ballet and for jazz. Bird hoodies they can buy once they start. The only thing they are quite speci...

Re: Auditioning for 2021 entry

Just spoke with my DS. He is at Avery Hills campus on Bird Degree. Settled in well - just had a water fight with some of the other campus students :roll: Good luck to your DS starting today - an emotional weekend for us as DD had graduation ceremony at Bird on Saturday and Grad ball last night From...

My son has a conditional degree offer there so isn't on the waiting list. Getting a bit anxious now though about securing accommodation!
The accommodation list is expected to be sent out by the end of next week

Re: Auditioning for 2021 entry

this one says don't reply if you wish to remain on the list......but still can't say where you are on it until after the end of June. From memory this is what they do just before making all the offers. It's done very quickly using UCAS Extra (?) for degree. I would imagine end of June is the deadli...

Re: Auditioning for 2021 entry

Bird have just sent out the email asking if you wish to remain on the wait list...and still cannot tell anyone where they are! This process just seems ridiculous although I am sure it's easier for them! From our experience in previous years, once this question is asked (usually with a reply deadlin...

Re: Auditioning for 2021 entry

Hi everyone, we are looking for accommodation for Bird - if anyone knows of anything available we would be very grateful if you could let me know. (Edited to say I’m sure someone posted about a room a few weeks ago but I can’t seem to find it. If that was you and it’s still available please get bac...

Re: Auditioning for 2021 entry

Hi, just trying to work out how much we need to top up the maintenance loan for Bird. Is it in London or outside London for student finance purposes? [-o< If it's outside then the accommodation isn't close to being covered by the maintenance loan :roll: Bird is definitely inside London - it's under...

Re: Auditioning for 2021 entry

Hi, my DS is going to Bird (but a DaDA from Laine would confuse him) and he already has a place in a student flat reserved. I can't speak for Laine as I have no idea, but for Bird I would suggest that your DD joins the snapchat groups if she hasn't already. I think 'degree birdies' might be the bes...
