Our partnership with Kingsclere Performing Arts College ensures students receive exceptional dance, singing, and acting training from highly dedicated industry professionals.

Emphasis is placed on maximising future employment opportunities by focusing on a wide range of skills relevant to a career in the performing arts, as well as engaging in specialist workshops and visits with industry partners.

Free tickets for schools

We are delighted to offer free tickets for school groups to select performances. This initiative aims to inspire and engage young minds by providing them with the opportunity to experience the magic of live theatre. Tickets are limited, and we encourage early booking to ensure your school doesn’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity.

Harry Ashton

I chose to study through Newbury College because the course offered at Kingsclere PA is really specialised. There are a good number of contact hours per week with industry professionals, so the training is relevant and of a high level. The training and skills I’ve learned have given me the confidence to be audition-ready for degree courses.
