Student Success

Amy Woods is in her final year of the Performing & Productions Arts: Acting level 3 course. She has plans to continue her studies at Warrington & Vale Royal college on the HNC Performing Arts course. After this, she has ambitions to study at East 15, a prestigious acting school based in Essex.

 Amy has enjoyed college and says the course has helped prepare her for her next steps, "The course has prepared me by helping me grow as an actor and experiment with roles in new ways which will allow me to stand out at an audition.

She says her tutors have supported her throughout the course, "My tutors on the course these past two years have helped me expand my knowledge but also expanded my way of thinking about different situations. My tutors are great role models to me as they strive for me to get better everyday and help me along the way."
