Student Profile - Amy

Amy came to the College from St.Crispins School in Wokingham, and is currently studying BTEC Performing Arts.

 

“The Performing Arts BTEC is broken down into units and smaller assessments, which means I can work at my own pace and I don’t have the pressure of everything coming down to a final exam. I came to the college to develop my skills as a performer and I am
surrounded by many friendly, talented people who are all working towards the same goal.
The teachers and faculty are all so supportive and really push you to be the best you can be. The Henley College has been the perfect stepping-stone for me as I want to focus on achieving my dream of one day being on the West End Stage."

Amy hopes to continue studying at a drama conservatoire or go to university to study for a degree in musical theatre
