Description:

The UK's first comprehensive guide devoted to secondary schools which specialise in the performing arts. Aimed at parents of those children leaving primary school who have an interest in the theatre and entertainment, the book details hundreds of institutes, including the growing proportion which exist within the state sector. An increasing number of Specialist Schools and Academies within the mainstream education system are devoted to theatre, dance and related subjects. Mums and Dads who cannot afford costly fees and youngsters who want to perform without ever turning 'pro' now have hundreds of schools to choose from. For the first time, all are listed by region, with details of school size, staffing, specialities and exam results.
