STUDIED: Musical Theatre Diploma

FORMER SCHOOL: Gordano School

"I chose to study the Musical Theatre Diploma because I have always had a passion for performing arts. I have been involved in dancing and acting from a young age and recently started taking singing lessons to support my performances. I didn’t feel that A Levels would suit me but the idea of pursuing a full-time course in Musical Theatre was very appealing.

Take your talent to the next level with an intensive, conservatoire-style training programme designed for committed young performers. If you’re serious about a future on stage or screen, this advanced course will refine your technique, strengthen your creative voice, and give you the professional experience needed to thrive in the performing arts industry.

If you thrive on stage, love expressing yourself through movement, voice, and character, and want to turn your passion into a future career, this hands-on course is the perfect starting point. You’ll train in an exciting, supportive environment at Weston College’s dedicated Performing Arts base at Loxton Campus, building the confidence, discipline, and technical skills needed for a life in the performing arts industry.

He loves seeing the progress made by the students, watching them build their professional skills and techniques, and becoming professional performers.
