Lessons consist of a blended learning approach. Studying a range of practitioners and their key methodologies will enable you to apply your learning to a wide range of practical work.

What our
students

say

The New College Bradford Performing Arts department is a place where the teachers encouraged me to be who I am today and helped me define myself. It taught me the life skills I will forever use. My teacher gave me the power to create what I want to create and made us feel like a true drama company.
