THE APPLICATION PROCESS
TO APPLY
You need to be between 16 and 19 years old and have achieved at least a grade 4 in GCSE Maths and English. If you don’t meet these requirements, you can still apply and, if needed, complete your GCSE resits through Prestige Performers College—just let us know you’re willing to do so.
Simply express your interest by completing the form below. We’ll then contact you to arrange an open day where you can experience a full day of class first hand.
You will also need to audition. We hold auditions year-round, where you will perform a dance solo in your chosen style. If you are a singer, we’d love to hear you, though it’s not a requirement. Your audition will be followed by a short interview, and we will inform you of your application status promptly.
