Emma Ashton, Principal.

True Talent is an award-winning theatre school where we have fun and train actors for the stage & screen! Our teachers are absolutely incredible and bring out the best in every one of our students.

My own career started when I was just two years old at dancing class. I then went on to perform in many musicals and plays with local theatre companies. I made some lifelong friends and though many chose a career in teaching or the medical profession, I went on to perform in professional theatres across the country and appear in TV shows such as Coronation Street, Doctors, Hollyoaks and be directed by David Jason!

The training we provide in acting, singing, dancing, film and TV has helped our previous students secure places at prestigious colleges such as CAPA in Wakefield and begin their journey in the performing arts.

Our drama school is a great place for young people to be safe, active and grow into the people they want to be, wherever their career might take them.
