Many congratulations to Lauren H., Year 12, who has been accepted on the Royal Ballet School’s prestigious “Associates” programme, namely “Advanced Associates”, which is aimed at students aged 16-17. The audition process was rigorous and only a small number of places are available, so there was huge competition. The programme involves attendance at the Royal Ballet School for twelve two-hour sessions every other Saturday between October and April. This will be a huge boost to her wish to follow a career in dance. An amazing achievement; well done, Lauren!
