The main philosophy of SYT is to learn professional skills in a focused and disciplined manner within a happy, supportive family atmosphere. Whether you love to act, sing, work backstage or just have a passion for putting a production together, then SYT is for you.

We are an independent company and as such can give much more to our students. We can nurture their talents, see them grow and don’t have the pressure of hitting targets set by someone else who doesn’t understand the group we are working with. That said, we work really hard with them and will expect them to give back even more. All in all it will be a great artistic experience, whether they are wanting to become a professional in the Entertainment Industry or just want to gain more confidence and further their communication skills. We aim to produce two shows per year, a Summer production and also a Christmas show. We also have special guests throughout the year to further the skills of the students. We published our own book in 2015 ‘The Splendiferous Book’, which was the first of its kind in the UK. All the students became published authors which is an incredible achievement.

Two Talent Agencies represent SYT and we have been lucky enough to have filmed with Dame Maggie Smith, Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, David Walliams, Susan Boyle, Francis De La Tour and Catherine Tate on the productions ‘Downton Abbey’, ‘Molly Moon’, ‘Pride’, ‘Family Ties’, ‘Vampire Academy’, ‘Big School’, ‘The Imitation Game’, ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’,’Before I Go To Sleep’,’The Woman In Black-Angel Of Death’ ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them’ and companies as iconic as the BBC, ITV, CH4 and major independent film production companies.
