Tring Park School or Tring Park School for the Performing Arts is a co-educational, independent day and boarding school in Tring, Hertfordshire, England. The school combines academia with vocational courses in the performing arts for pupils aged 8–19. All prospective pupils are required to attend an audition to determine admission, with the exception of those in the Prep School. Around 1 in every 7 applicants are successful.[1]
The school comprises a Prep School, a Lower School, a Middle School and a Sixth Form. Originally known as the Arts Educational School, Tring Park, it was founded as the sister school of the Arts Educational Schools, London. In 2009, it became independent of the London school and was renamed Tring Park School for the Performing Arts.
Tring Park School charges up to £48,093 per year (£16,031 per term, with three terms in the academic year).[2] However, it is one of only twenty-one schools in the U.K. selected to allocate Dance and Drama Awards and one of eight schools selected to allocate Music and Dance Scheme Awards, both government funded scholarship schemes established to subsidise the cost of professional dance and drama training for talented pupils at leading institutions. The school also offers its own scholarships awarded exclusively in recognition of talent during auditions.
