Bristol Old Vic Theatre School is based on three specialist sites in the heart of the vibrant and creative city of Bristol. The School is non-residential, but we welcome students from outside of the area and are able to advise applicants about local accommodation options.

The School also offers a programme of youth courses for school years 3 – 13. Further information is available from the Youth Group – Theatre Skills page.

I’m constantly delighted by the talent, commitment and drive of our students. Their curiosity and joy in the work gives us all energy and keeps me on my toes! My goal is to ensure that their voices serve their acting - both in theatre and recorded media. They need to be able to project, learn accents, respond to a wide variety of texts and have a voice that is healthy and be able to sustain long tours and tough filming schedules. This involves them working extremely hard – but having fun as well. When the new students see the final year students in production for the first time I know they’ll come into class the next day fully understanding the high standard they’re working to achieve.
