A huge well done to Alice Payne, who has achieved a Distinction in her Level 3 Performing Arts Extended Diploma! 👏🎉

Alice is now taking the next exciting step in her journey, heading to the Northern School of Drama in Newcastle for a one-year actor training and mentorship programme, Project A based at The Newcastle Royal Theatre. 🎬🌟

Her ambition is to become a professional performer and, hopefully, continue her training at drama school in the future.

Reflecting on her time at Kendal College, Alice said:

“Best thing about Kendal College is the tutors, they are dedicated and really care about you. There is nothing else like this in the area. It was the perfect choice for me. I feel so lucky.”

We’re so proud of Alice and can’t wait to see where her talent, passion and determination take her next! Break a leg! 🎭❤️

A huge congratulations to Silas Woolley, who has achieved a Distinction in his Level 3 Performing Arts Extended Diploma! 🎉

“I’m really, really happy. My whole life I thought I wasn’t academic, I didn’t really fit into the school system — I’d have to find my place elsewhere. But I’ve thrived here, and it’s given me new hope and life and opportunities.”

And he’s only just getting started! Silas is progressing to Level 4 Performing Arts next year, where he’ll continue to hone his acting skills.

“I would love to go to drama school in the future and take acting as far as I can. It’s my passion, and I’ve proved I can do it.”

We couldn’t be prouder. ❤️ Break a leg, Silas! 🎬👏

Well done Ryan!

Ryan has passed his Level 3 Theatre & Event Technology and is heading to the University of Salford to continue developing his skills, build his professional portfolio and make his mark on the industry.

We asked Ryan to tell us about his Kendal College experience and this is what he said:
“Being at college is the most fun I’ve ever had, I feel seen and heard.”

Now, he’s excited for the next chapter, both personally and professionally, as he moves from the countryside to Salford and takes every opportunity to progress his career.

Ryan’s advice? ‘Take every opportunity you can.’ We couldn’t agree more!

Congratulations, Ryan!! 🎓✨

Along the way, Elesia has grown in confidence, learned to work as an independent performer and embraced the drama school audition season- all while making brilliant memories with her friends and tutors.
