Can anyone suggest the nearest hotel/guest house to Bird College for audition day - nearest and best value I’ve found is the Travel Lodge - 11 min walk to Bird - Thought I’d ask before booking :-) There’s the premier inn which is just near the train station which is around a 5-10 minute walk to bir...

Fab well done to your DS, exciting times

Thanks everyone! She's a dancer, not a singer although she tries! And she forgot her monologue half way through due to nerves 🤦 so she wasn't really expecting anything from Bird 😁 Well done to your DD, it’s so nerve wracking for them and us parents!! Good luck with the rest of the audition process 🤞🍀

Foundation offer for DD at ArtsEd. She isn't that happy about it, she thought it went really well.We have 15 days to accept and pay a £350 deposit. Two more auditions within that time so we will see how it goes. Congratulations to your DD, to get any offers is a a great achievement. Until you have ...

Update from Dd's Bird audition yesterday... Talk in the theatre then dance classes in the morning.Then monologue, solo song and interview in afternoon. A couple got offers for degree course on the day (not my dd!) Hope she felt it went well! My daughter got a diploma offer from Bird within a week o...

So does it depend on the course they are doing? Does it need to be a foundation course as opposed to sixth form? The diploma students don’t get it as it’s a higher education course, they justify it as foundation course is further education like 6th form. Not sure if this is specific to Epsom counci...

My DD is 16 on foundation at Laine and has been able to claim housing benefit. We were really surprised but when I called the council to confirm they were really helpful and said ‘is she doing foundation at Laine?’ and had to supply letter confirming where and who she was living with, fill a form ou...

Thanks for all the helpful responses. Sadly DS has withdrawn from Bird after 4 weeks torturing himself because after his GCSE results he realised that however much he wants to do MT he just wasn't ready to leave home. He's only just told them so one lucky DC will get the call today!! Congratulation...

Hi all, Just thought I'd share some exciting news! Yesterday DD received the degree offer from Bird which we'd been agonisingly waiting for for months! Cannot believe how relieved and excited we are thank goodness! Wishing all of those still waiting to hear the best of luck and to keep hanging on i...

I just had to share my news. On Tuesday my son graduated with a Ba in Acting and yesterday my daughter was offered a place off the reserve list for the same course! I am so overjoyed and proud of both of them, don't mind admitting there were a few tears last night :lol: I would like to thank everyo...
