Developing Screen Performers
Our Film Academy for Day School and Sixth Form students offers a structured, practical approach to screen acting alongside academic study. Designed for students aged 11–18, the programme supports young performers as they develop confidence, discipline, and a clear understanding of how to work truthfully and effectively on camera.
Pastoral Care and Student Wellbeing
A supportive learning environment is central to the Film Academy. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves creatively while feeling safe, respected, and supported.
