ILKLEY Grammar School is celebrating the success of one of its sixth form students.
Harri Pitches has been accepted into RCS - Royal Conservatoire of Scotland - in Glasgow, to study a BA in Acting.
The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is a national and international centre of excellence for performing arts education. Building on their roots in 1847 as a national academy of music, they are now one of the world’s most multi-disciplinary conservatoires, offering specialised and intensive teaching in dance, drama, music, production and screen.
The establishment boasts an impressive alumni, including Robert Carlyle, Alan Cumming and Tom Conti.
Head of Drama, Lara Ramrattan, was thrilled with Harri’s success.
She said: "Usually the Conservatoire take older students who have applied year on year, or students from drama schools. It is a fantastic achievement for Harri to be offered a place. Harri had a starring role in last year’s school production of Oliver, for those of you who were lucky enough to catch the show...you saw him here first."
