Entry into the school is by competitive audition. We are looking for students who show talent, are dedicated and willing to work as part of a team. Our students eat, live and breathe performing so it is important that new recruits feel the same. We stringently enforce our strict rules on anti social behaviour, bullying and cliques. The Academy is a very social place.There are many opportunities for students to create social events, theatre trips or extra rehearsals with full support from the team. By teaching in mixed age groups we build a true team spirit.
