    They rang me today to say I've got a place on The Academy - over the moon !!!!! I can't find the dates of when it takes place over summer. Does anyone know the dates ? I probably should have asked on the phone but I was too excited haha.
    Congratulations that’s great news! On the confirmation email it says it’s expected to take place 6th July-23rd July pending COVID restrictions :)

    Does anyone know when CMS contacts your references? Mine is on maternity leave, so she might not be checking her emails as frequently, which is why I might have to flag it to her once they start the referencing process. Any help is much appreciated :)
