Message from the Head Girl and Head Boy

Leah West

Joining Tring Park in the Lower 6th is the finest decision I have made. The most exciting feeling was knowing that I would be working alongside others who were just as passionate about a career in the performing arts as I am.  The wide range of academic subjects offered gave me reassurance that my academic studies would be sustained to a high level.

The vocational training at Tring Park is outstanding. I have learnt so much about myself as a performer, and I am still learning today. The staff are supportive and passionate about their craft, which is incredibly inspiring for a developing performer.

As a boarder I have experienced the great pastoral care given to each individual student. Everybody is welcomed and cared for with great support, and along with the staff, you know you will build up such strong relationships with friends that you will treasure forever.

Having the privilege of being Head Girl allows me to contribute and become fully involved in this individual and incredible school.

After joining Tring Park in the Lower 6th as a day pupil, it took me a few days to fully realise what an incredible place I was in. I'd never been part of a place that had such a wonderful energy and love for the Performing Arts.

Tring Park is very well known as a vocational school, but apart from this we have a very sucsessful academic department and wonderful pastoral care. I am on the Drama Course and take a BTEC Diploma in Performing Arts. Both of these have helped me develop and improve as an actor, and the course, as with every course at Tring Park, caters for each individual student.

Although Tring Park has no formal sport (e.g rugby, cricket, etc) we have just started the School's first football team, playing competitive matches with other local schools, aided by the teachers who help with the coaching. I think this is a perfect example of how the School is constantly adapting to the needs of the students.

I came to Tring Park to develop my acting, but pupils train in all three vocations in order to give them a thorough grounding across the Performing Arts. Students are given so much support, evidence of which can be seen in the sheer number of performances and the high standard of them!

Being Head Boy is a huge privilege and it allows me to help contribute to this amazing School as it develops and grows.
