When we did ours, we filled it out, the Doctor stamped and signed it then charged us £30 for completing the form!

All Dr's should do this - although as it's not an NHS service they will charge. Bird are very good about it - send the rest of the forms back and then tell them the GP letter will follow

The senior partner has refused saying it is not a vital service when seeing patients is currently their priority. We offered to pay and they said that money wasn't the issue.
So now she is having to complete a subject access request to get a copy of her medical notes emailed to us which Bird say they will accept instead. Grrrrrrrr

More fool them it will take them longer to release medical records than stamp a form, that’s crazy Ours charge £10 but it did take 3 weeks.

How ridiculous. The amount of work needed to complete an SAR is so much more than completing the health questionnaire. And they can charge more for the form than an SAR

Hope everyone got A level results they needed!!! Or wanted in my daughter's case as she didn"t need them!

If there remains any Performers parents pulling their hair out having not found accommodation yet, I've had 2 messages this morning from landlords! One room at £625pcm in Stanford le hope (Near the station apparently) and the other £400pcm a 5 minute walk from college. Both have performers students in the other rooms. PM me if you want contact details!

I got the same message re Performers too

Anyone in halls.for bird? We got an email cancelling her room at 5pm last night. Too late to talk to anyone. A few people on the freshers group said the same.
Will have to sort on monday.

Hi all,

I was just wondering what other colleges are doing with their timetable? My daughter has just started at Bird and has 3-4 hours a day in college in a bubble of 10 and then 1-3 hours of online work each day. X

Hey, my daughter started in Performers and she's in at different times every day but is still doing 7-8 hrs per day in her bubble - all the groups have been allocated and come in at different times - one day it may be 11.30 - 7.30 and then could be 9- 4.30 x

From what I can see on social media the second years seem to be having all their lessons online.
