Sixth Form Courses

Arts1 is somewhere were you can build and nurture your dramatic talent. It’s somewhere where you can be yourself, a safe environment where you can see continuous progress in yourself and others. I’ve had so many great experiences along the way such as performing at MOVE IT and creating our piece for the national theatre connections Not only that but I’ve had the chance to watch some amazing theatre and visit fantastic institutions where we were looking to move on to next as further training. Furthermore I’ve met many industry professionals throughout my time at Arts1 who have inspired me, helped me to start building my connections within the industry and given me a better idea about the different pathways I can take.

Having finished my two years at Arts1, I have not only come out with a high level qualification and a place at one of the top drama schools, but I have come out a better version of myself. At Arts1 you will grow as an individual, you will learn so much and you will love every minute of it. It’s helped me to become a better person and performer, be more resilient, competent and a hard yet smart worker. Work hard at Arts1 and so many possibilities will open up to you.

I would recommend arts1 to anyone that is strongly considering a career in performing arts. Without the expert training from their teachers and staff I would not be where I am today.

Being part of the course meant being part of a family, I always felt completely supported in and out of lessons throughout the course and that still continues now.

I am currently training on the 1 year course at Fourth Monkey Actor Training company and will be starting a BA in Acting at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire this year.”

The Arts1 6th Form is, without exaggeration, one of the most amazing, rewarding and supportive places to train. The teachers are supportive, experienced and friendly. The classes are perfectly planned out to assure maximum progress for every student involved.

The 6th form course assures no student is left behind and they are all treated equally and fairly. You learn things that you never would’ve thought you could, you think in new ways that open your eyes to different paths and ideas. The people that attend the course and fun, supportive and hard working and everyone pulls their own weight and they have to be up to the challenge for a very tough but extremely rewarding experience. It has so far been the best experience of my life.

A few years ago I was torn between following a set path of academic studies at Sixth form or choosing to audition at Arts 1 to start the journey to potentially achieve my life long dream of being a performer.

It’s safe to say my choice has been the best one I’ve ever made. Arts 1 has provided me with a massive set of new skills which have developed not only my performing but also have contributed into transforming my work ethic and way of living. The intensive training I received everyday is invaluable and I would not have felt prepared mentally or physically to train further on a three year course in one of the most competitive schools in the country without Arts 1.

The staff are so focused on each person as individuals and really focus on your own strengths and weaknesses. Their expertise in the industry and how to train young performers is unlike anything I’ve known before.

My 2 years at Arts 1 gave me some of the greatest experiences and opportunities and I will forever be grateful to them.
