Happy Results Day to all our Level 3 students.
Whether you've left us, or whether you're moving to second year, we're thinking about you today.

You did all the hard work, we hope you're happy with your results. Feel proud, celebrate and on to the next exciting stage of your journey.

A small collection of our new first year students who will be starting in September 2026.

A great day at our ATA welcome day yesterday, building new connections to future students and classmates, with many more to join us come September.

The start of the next chapter feels exciting!!

Thank you and goodbye to our wonderful second year students.

Today, they were the latest to follow that ATA tradition and they took their headshots off the wall, and left us for their next adventures. Been a long road since that welcome day 2 years ago.

They know exactly what they've meant to us.

Some images from our 2026 Production of THE SKRIKER by Caryl Churchill.

Finish the week with a real highlight, our monstrous underworld Skriker, in all her large faced glory, spectacularly performed by Clara Redfearn and an ensemble of Skrikers operating the mask...

What started as a wild idea from JMR in the pre-show planning, was created and executed to perfection by Daisy, Tasharna and Olivia from Preston College Creative Arts, bringing a mad-cap idea into realisation.

Thank you to SL.Photography , , and Louis Faragher for their images!

THE SKRIKER by Caryl Churchill, produced by ATA, 2026.

We have shared all our words of appreciation as a cast, crew and company to each other.

Know that we are grateful beyond belief for the attitude and commitment you have shown to this incredibly challenging but rewarding project. A special group of students, and you're all very much appreciated.

And after all that... it was dustbin...
