School suggestions for a girl serious about studying drama ?

Sorry I just noticed she's 14 so presumably the same age as my son.

In which case Tring Park do a 6th Form drama course rather tha Theatre Arts which includes Dance and is Lower School. You can sit A levels alongside. Dd looked at the MT course but didn;t apply as she hated their Summer School but I know children who are very happy there. Out of all the schools they probably have the widest range of academic options available.

Arts Ed - dd was all set to apply. She was very impressed by their stand at Move It but ultimately we deicded that not only could we not afford it, but that the dance training offered elsewhere suited her better plus their A level option blocks didn't fit with what she wanted to do.

We went to an Open Day at Hammond last weekend with ds. Their 6th Form Drama course is excellent (Btec worth 2 A levels plus the option to sit two purely academic A levels alongside it.

The Hammond has a drama strand but it is in Chester, they do have boarding.

Tring Park Theatre Arts strand.

To be honest though if there are no otehr extenuating circumstances I don;t think you need to attend a specialist school for drama in the same wasy as you do for dance or music. Most of the children I know who have attended such schools have done so because they had a bad time at their local school or other specific circumstances. Saying that the training they received was good but not vital. (Its a different matter at 6th Form level as most I know who attended those schools for 6th Form or Upper School as its known have done very well. In fact I'm currently investigating such options for ds who is in Year 10.
