We are only accepting applications from young people in Years 10–12.

We will prioritise applicants from Bristol and the surrounding area, especially those who might not otherwise have access to the arts.

💬 A little note about your application
This isn't a test, and we're not grading your English skills - We simply want to get to know you, your interests and what excites you about the technical things.

There are no right or wrong answers, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just be you!
