   Bodens is an amazing place. The teaching is excellent, and my daughter has learnt so much and made fantastic progress. She’s also had some great opportunities (including subsidised trips to West End theatres). The college’s productions are top-notch and incredibly inventive; in fact, they’re so good that I go to see the ones my daughter isn’t even featuring in! A relative of ours attended one and was so bowled over by the standard that she insists on coming again. My daughter is staying on for a third (foundation) year in order to benefit as much as possible from the excellent training that Bodens offers.

   Bodens has enabled me to flourish as a performer through its excellent teaching staff and encouraging peers. In an extremely competitive industry, Bodens has found the balance between nurturing and pushing their students. Due to the smaller class sizes, your teachers gage a better understanding of your skillset and areas for improvement which can then be used to set personal targets. Industry professionals frequently come in to workshop classes, channeling passion and motivation which inspires the likeminded students at Bodens. I’m so appreciative of all the opportunities given at Bodens and have thoroughly enjoyed my time since my very first day. I feel as if I’ve grown so much in both my craft and myself and I cannot wait to apply all I’ve learnt in the future!

   Bodens is by far the greatest place and family I could have ever come across, it is a uniquely brilliant community that has brought out the best in me and will not only provide incredible, detailed training but also be somewhere you are valued and able to learn and grow as yourself. It has undoubtedly made me passionate and obsessive about the work whilst having the greatest 3 years of my life.

   Bodens has helped me grow not only as performer but also as a person. The teaching and level of education is so high, personal and unique, and I feel as I’ve learned more in three years than I have at any other point in my life in education. Forever grateful for all the memories, lessons and training Bodens has provided me with.

   I've been training here on the third year foundation course for just over half a term now and honestly could not be happier. Training in fully equipped studios just a couple of minutes away from west end theatres that we have already taken trips to see shows at is something I feel so lucky to be able to do. At Bodens, I've been challenged and stretched by teachers more than I ever have in my education so far, but in a way where I feel supported in everything I do and recognised for every success. Having come from a huge secondary school and sixth form college, it's brilliant to be in small classes where I feel that every tutor knows me and wants me to do well-be it in taking my next steps towards my future or improving on what I performed last week. There's a brilliant sense of community here with staff and students alike and I look forward to coming in every day. I could not be more thankful to be training here :)

   Joining Bodens College of Performing Arts, was the best decision I ever made. Over the 3 years, I received extremely professional Actor training from qualified teachers, including industry professionals, that were always extremely willing to share their passion and help young students, who didn't choose the A level route, grow to their full potential. I admire the extra time they put into every student and the number of doors the open, offering the best opportunities possible. The moment I walked through the front door at Bodens, it felt as if I had gone from home to home. The effort in making sure everyone knows one an other, in the intimate space they provide is so special, even 4 years down the line. Thank you Bodens, for everything. x

   My time at Bodens has been incredible. The training is the best i’ve gotten anywhere and I have also been taught so many life lessons. This college allows you to be yourself and to collaborate with so many other creative individuals. Bodens has helped me get into Drama School first time round and I 100% would not have been able to do it without the training and endless support i received from the teachers and students. I have gained so much confidence and feel as if I am ready for my future in the entertainment industry and I only have Bodens and the teachers to thank :)

   Our daughter has thrived at Bodens like she would have never thrived anywhere else. We not talking just academically but as a human being. She has thrived because the school has given her the space to develop and work hard with incredibly talented and committed role models, and most importantly, a space to be herself. And when she is herself, she is the best. As parents we will be forever grateful for the school's dedication to helping her be the best version of herself. We let our daughter follow her heart, and now thanks to Bodens she is following her dream. I would really recommended to those who are willing to work hard.

   I’m currently a year one student at bodens, and deciding to audition for the school has been such an amazing decision for me. The knowledge that we are learning here is great, the teachers are great, and the whole school is just a really great community. If you’re interested in performing arts then this is the place for you.

   I am currently in my second year of college at Bodens College of Performing Arts and my past year at the college has been an absolute joy! From devising a piece of Theatre in Education to performing in a theatre with a capacity of 400, I have done it all. All the teachers present are extremely helpful and make me feel at home in a safe environment in which I feel I can grow and develop in Performing Arts. Any student looking to go on to drama schools, there is no other place I would recommend as Bodens provides the top acting training for up and coming performers.
