All children are encouraged to work towards examinations although it is not compulsory. Pupils are entered for examinations at the discretion of the principals and their class teacher.

We couldn’t be prouder to add to our alumni headshot wall with more incredibly talented performers who began their training journey with us at Jill Stew’s. ❤️

From those early classes and auditions, to successfully gaining places at prestigious vocational training schools, these performers have gone on to fulfil their dreams and build exciting careers in the industry.

Many are now performing professionally around the world, choreographing, teaching and creating careers they once only dreamed of.

Seeing their headshots together is a wonderful reminder of where passion, dedication, talent and the right training can take you.
To every Jill Stew’s student who has taken that leap and chased their dream — we are so proud of you! ⭐️
And to those just starting out: keep learning, keep believing, keep working hard. Your journey starts here. 💫
