Help Caitlin to go to Tring Park School
Donation protected
Caitlin who has just turned 11 years old has won a place at the prestigious school of Tring Park for the performing arts to start in September 2019. She would study academics as well as dance full time. Tring Park have a direct link with the English National Ballet and their patron is Sir Matthew Bourne.
Although Caitlin has a further audition for a scholarship it is incredibly difficult to get the funding. Once the scholarship decision has been made we will need to make an immediate decision on her place and so we won't have time to raise the funds after this audition. The local authority also do not have funds in which they can give her. If she did happen to win the scholarship, we as parents will still need to fund some of her place as well as buying all the essentials such as uniform, school books, educational trips etc. In this circumstance we will use the money towards this and to her further development.
We as a family have supported Caitlin in her dream. She attends many competitions often at weekends and in the school holidays. When other children are having down time from school she is always dancing at some event! We travel every Sunday up to London where she trains with the London Junior Ballet. Caitlin does 12 hours of dance training per week and for a child to fit this around her school is incredibly hard. It just goes to show the hard work and dedication that she has.
Caitlin brings incredible joy to everyone when she dances. I love to watch her when she is up on the stage and my mother (Caitlin's grandmother), who is a dance teacher is so proud of what she is achieving. Caitlin was recently in 'Nativity the musical' UK tour and I think this was my proudest moment to see her working with other professionals on the stage and really living her dream.
A quote from Caitlin:
'It would mean the word to me to be able to go to a full time dance school. It would mean that I could be doing dance for more hours of the day and be training with some of the countries best teachers. I know that by going to a school like this it will help me to become the best that I can be. It will open so many doors for me'
Please help Caitlin's dream to come true to go to a full time dance school.
