Sixth Form Performing Arts students at West Hatch High School attended 'Compose Your Future', a specialist UCAS convention with Universities held at ​Excel in London.

Drama and dance schools from across the country gave students the opportunity to find out about the range of higher education opportunities available.

Teacher Sue Pavelkova said: "The event was inspiring to see how many opportunities are out there for students of Performing Arts - degrees, diplomas, a new pioneering online music degree, and even dance and acting courses in Barcelona (delivered in English).

"The convention included prractical demonstrations which included a 'silent concert' where the audience wore headphones and an awesome stage / film make-up session leaving our students with bullet wounds and scared arms!"
