We want you to feel at ease and welcome any questions you may have throughout the day.
For applicants aged 7 to 11 you will need the following:

- A verse and chorus of a song you enjoy singing and have learnt the words too.
For applicants aged 11 and over you will need the following:
- A prepared solo monologue that is learnt to memory (these can be found online or you can learn a section from your favourite script/book)

If you are skilled at playing an instrument, or have any other special skills (sports, beatboxing/rap, song writing etc) we would love for you to perform this to us too so that we can see all of the talents within your spectrum.
When auditioning for students we are looking for potential, enthusiasm, personality and whether the children/teenagers are the right fit for the school. So please don’t panic if you don’t have lots of previous training or experience.
We also understand that you may be more confident in one of two areas (out of drama, singing and dance)– please give all 3 aspects a try for your audition even if it’s out of your comfort zone at the moment.
