Firstly make sure that you're completely happy with the contractual terms from the new agency. Then write ...

Re: NAPM Gathering

Hi all, just wondered if this was the only NAPM meet up that was organised? Seems a shame if that was the case. Would be good to have one as this one was so long ago. :D

Re: Going to Tring younger than yr7

Hi, pre-preps i.e year 5&6 pupils are in the minority at Tring & are therefore mixed in with year 7&8 boarders. Boarders are usually 4 to a room. The best advice I can offer if you are seriously considering Tring is to make an appointment to look round with your daughter during what woul...

Re: Tring Park Theatre Arts Course

The school has science & sports as it's specialisms. It has a traditional choir & orchestra but that's as far as the creative curriculum now extends. Drama has been removed from the curriculum due to a low uptake. During the Headteachers initial presentation he expressed that every boy has a...

Re: permission refused. is head mistress being unreasonable?

I can only speak positively of ds primary school who have been amazing in allowing him to undertake everything that he has been offered to date, including 3 theatre productions, 2 commercials and a national tour which have all involved large amounts of time away from school. His absence from school ...

Re: Tring Park Theatre Arts Course

We have now accepted the place at Tring for ds. Just wondered if anyone else is in the same position i.e with ds/dd starting on Theatre Arts course as Year 7 boarder. Would be fantastic to be able to make some links before starting.
