We were thrilled to welcome ex-student Jack Rose back to Swish last Sunday to lead an incredible Mean Girls workshop with our Performing Academy class!

Jack worked closely with the group, exploring character, confidence, and performance style from the iconic musical. Jack was very impressed with the talent, focus, and energy from everyone involved. 🎉

A huge thank you to Jack for inspiring our performers and sharing his experience - what a fantastic session! ⭐️

Bournemouth Performing Arts Festival Speech and Drama Section 2026 🎭

What an incredible weekend for some of our Swish students, who had the opportunity to take part in this year’s Bournemouth Performing Arts Festival and showcase their speech and drama skills on stage.

We are so proud to share that our students achieved outstanding results, with every Swish entry placing in the top three in their class!

A special congratulations to this year’s champions:

⭐ Youth Speech and Drama Champion of the Year Key Stage 1 & 2 — Elsie K
⭐ Youth Speech and Drama Champion of the Year Key Stage 3 — Farrah C-J
⭐ Youth Speech and Drama Champion Key Stage 4 & 5 — Chloe H

Tina Witham, Founder of Swish & Acting Coach, said:

“It has been a privilege to support and direct these amazing students. Opportunities like this give our young performers the chance to grow in confidence, challenge themselves and celebrate their talent beyond the classroom. They are all champions in every sense of the word, and they have done Swish proud once again. BRAVO everyone!” ⭐️

Today we celebrate the amazing mums who support our performers every step of the way - from early morning rehearsals to opening night nerves.

Behind Swish is a woman who had a vision.

Tina, our founder, created this space to give young performers confidence, opportunity, and a stage where they can truly shine. Her unwavering belief in every student is what makes this school so special.

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate not only Tina but every incredible woman at Swish - our pro partners, our teachers, our backstage team, and the women behind the scenes each day - who continue to shape, support, and inspire our students every day.

Happy International Women’s Day, everyone!

Good luck to our Swish Bournemouth branch, who have been hard at work since September on We Will Rock You at the Pavilion Theatre. As they take the stage for their final show today, everyone at Swish is sending them a big “break a leg!” ⭐️

Tina said:
“This is a huge accolade for an incredibly talented and focused performer. I am certain she will go on to achieve big things in the future.”

We are so proud to have supported Millie’s training and development as an actor. Moments like this highlight the calibre of performers nurtured here at Swish! 🌟
