Students attending a Bolton theatre school which only opened its doors at the start of the new academic year are already landing roles on prime time television shows - including Coronation Street and Waterloo Road.
Taylors Theatre College opened in September last year and already its students are appearing in hit dramas.
Cameron Nicholls, Neo Leach and Skyler Kempt are all studying at Taylor’s Theatre College - juggling their studies with their acting roles.
Cameron has featured on Coronation Street and has appeared in scenes with character Sally Webster, played Sally Dynevor, and has also been on Waterloo Road.
Neo has also been on BBC's Waterloo Road and Skyler has appeared in scenes of Brassic and Waterloo Road.
Stacey Taylor and Julie Taylor, principals at Taylor’s Theatre Academy and Taylors Theatre College, said they decided to open the college to support creative children across Bolton.
Stacey said: “We knew we had to do something to support our creative children in Bolton.
“At Taylor’s, 417 Crompton Way, we introduced our BTEC Level 3 in Performing Arts last year, and successfully enrolled 13 students.
“Our first years are currently studying Monday to Wednesday between 9am and 4pm.
“At Taylor’s Theatre College we offer a BTEC Level 3, with an option to take a musical theatre pathway or a dance pathway.
“The courses are fully funded for students aged between 16 and 18.”

Stacey said as well as teaching students, they work to give them some of the best opportunities.
She said: “Some of our students are currently working a lot on TV including on Waterloo Road, Coronation Street, Brassic and more.
“We have auditions coming up on February 11.
“We can’t wait to get started with our second years in September and welcome a whole new cohort of first years.
“Taylor’s Theatre College are in partnership with SCL education and SCL creative, where we offer a full resit of maths and English GCSES should you happen to not hit your targeted grades.
“If you want to level up your training, whether it be to work in the industry or gain places at prestige colleges, then this is the place to be!”
