Sylvia Young Theatre School?

Question

Hey,

I am currently looking at persuading my parents to let me join the sylvia young theatre school (london), and i was wondering if there was anywhere you could see what students went on to do. Not like when you click on ex-students and it brings up a list of students who "made it" in television, west end, singing etc, but where you can see what universities / sixth form that they went on to?

Please anything would help. Also if you have any general info on sylvia youngs i would appreciate you telling me.

Thanks in advance,

amanda

From the top of my head, there's emma bunton (spice girls), billie piper and frances ruffelle.

Ruffelle (apparently) was the only student to be expelled from the school and she was the daughter of Sylvia Young. FYI ruffelle was the original Eponine in the the OLC of Les Mis.

Billie Piper was a pop singer but now has a TV career (watc the 2005-6 series of Doctor Who, where she played the assistant) and was in secret diary of a call girl, and the ruby in the smoke

so, if you're loking to be a pop singer this school is good for you. however, i think you cen only go there until you're 18, and i think you should focus on more academic studies (that's what I'm doing) then hoping to go to drama school when I'm 18.

If you're still interested (I wasn't trying to put you off - i'm sure it's a bery good school) take a look on the link below
