Start preparing now... it's normal to be nervous
Well what can we say, a very good session it took 3 hours before we even started to slip behind on our guesstimated timings so it looks as though our timed slots really do work as opposed to lumps of time for each grade.Already we have been asked when is the next session ? well maybe and it is maybe we will move back to multiple sessions each year so for the moment put a pencil note in your diaries for early June 2012.Having got 100 % pass rate this time means that as this was the last exams before our 29th birthday we can now say 29 years and no failures, yes we have been close a couple of times but still 100% pass rate. We had some really good comments from our examiner about the overall standard of the school so it's a big well done to all of you.
From a students viewpoint.
The following is a mail which arrived just a very short time after a pupil had survived the torture that we encourage and call exams.
Hi Royston and Karen,
I just wanted to write to say a huge thank you to you both for your constant support and encouragement.
E and A had a fantastic time, they really enjoyed themselves and this was most definitely down to your hard work and encouragement and I also think you had a good, friendly examiner who made them feel at ease.
I also wanted to say thank you from me! I was so nervous (as usual) but once again thanks to you guys I had a great time. Thanks Royston,
I really enjoyed all of my dances, you really must teach me the wobbly head thing ;)
The examiner was very friendly and I quickly relaxed (I think this evening was the first time I had ever felt able to speak freely with an examiner) so my thanks must also go to him as and when you have contact with him.
Thank you so, so much!!
(I'm still grinning like an idiot)
