Many of our students leave us after sixth form and go on to study Drama and Performing Arts at Degree level. There are a number of universities which have an excellent reputation in this area, and this will be discussed with you during the course. We also have a number of students leave our school and go to performing arts/theatre schools to develop their skills in order to pursue an acting career.
