Quotes from past students-

“I've settled amazingly in University. It's such a wonderful place and I love everything about it. The course is brilliant and I find myself far ahead of everyone else thanks to the IB Theatre diploma and the Theatre knowledge I learnt at Bexley Grammar over the last two years”

 “The IB Theatre course has shown me that there is so much more to the world of theatre (not just in England but across the world). This course is so different from the GCSE and I find myself enjoying picking up scripts to read for fun, to enrich my learning and feel more aware of the world of Theatre.”

 “I really enjoy the IB Theatre as it really challenges me, and also knowing I am able to develop my acting and directing abilities.”
