Londons leading college - City and Islington College. It is the best for Performing Arts. I have got accepted into the 2 year course for performing arts BTEC National Diploma Level 3, and can't wait to begin! Ive seen the rooms used for the course and the equipment it looks excellent. For the interview they may ask you to do a Monologue and do a few activities. Look it up on the internet on Goggle just type in "City and Islington College - Londons leading" a few keywords like that should come up.

Good luck.

collage: an artistic composition made of various materials (as paper, cloth, or wood) glued on a surface b: a creative work that resembles such a composition in incorporating various materials or elements

college : an institution offering instruction usually in a professional, vocational, or technical field

ArtEd is good sixth form performing college. My friend applied but didn't get in...

Try doing a search on Google for sixth form performing UK or something like that, you can usually find a list of places for that sort of thing.

Also, actually, you can get into Uni or Drama School with normal A-Levels.
I think choosing to do Drama and Music and English (for example) at your local school is actually a better idea and will do exactly the same as an expensive private drama college will do, expense-free.

So yeah...

CONCLUSION: stick to normal A-Levels in a normal school, get as much experience as you can in performing with your local drama club or amateur theatre company.
University's and Drama Schools don't actually consider it that important if you've been to a Drama College or not. They take into consideration your talent (duh), experience in performing (even if it's only in school plays), confidence, determination, and willingness to work.

Hope this helps and good luck!!
