We applied to the trust as our family circumstances made it very difficult as a

family to cover all of Lacey's School Fees, Uniform and extras that were needed

for her to be able to train at The Royal Ballet School in London.  Lacey is the 2nd

youngest of 8 children with whom 5 still live at home.  Lacey was extremely successful

with an audition process and was one of 9 girls from around the world to be offered

a place.  She was also offered an MDS place but that still left a shortfall of £9,500 for

her fees.  The Royal Ballet School gave her an extra bursary of 5k andwe managed to get

the rest of the fees covered with help fromfamily and friends.  We are so grateful to the

Kieran Taylor ScholarshipTrust for helping with her uniform and extra music lessons too.
 
Lacey has absolutely loved every minute of this year at RBS and so is looking forward to next year.  She was lucky to perform in the Nutcracker at Royal Opera House throughout December and January.  She also performed at Opera Holland Park last week and they have the finale at Royal Opera House this Saturday.  The trust gave Lacey the opportunity to follow her dream and flourish at this school in both her dance and academics and we are truly grateful for all the assistance given.
