We’re incredibly proud to announce that all of our second-year Sixth Form graduates have achieved Distinction* grades this year (the highest possible grade attainable) for their Level 3 Extended Diplomas in Creative and Performing Arts!

This equates to a whopping 168 UCAS points and is the equivalent of 3 A*’s at A Level!

To achieve these outstanding results while training for 45 hours per week and participating in countless performances, including a professional pantomime season, is a true testament to their relentless hard work and dedication to their craft along with the incomparable training on offer led by our expert faculty!

Especial thanks must go to our incomparable administrator Jo for all of her hard work behind the scenes!

Josie, Maxwell and Amy, we truly couldn’t be prouder of you! You deserve these outstanding grades and have the brightest of futures ahead of you, it’s time to celebrate!

We’re delighted to say that all three of them will be continuing to train with us on our Level 6 course from September - bring it on!
