Dance star Emma won a coveted place to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow just three years after taking up ballet and also achieved 5 Grade 9s, 2 Grade 8s and 2 A*s at GCSE.

“I was thrilled to get these amazing grades when I’ve been working so hard on my ballet,” she smiled. “KEHS has been incredibly supportive and my friends and all the teachers have been really pleased for me. I’ve enjoyed taking part in the Dance Productions at school as a relaxation from the ballet training. My parents are very proud but just a bit anxious about me going away to study at the age of 16. Ultimately I’d love to make it as a dancer in a professional company in Britain or abroad.”
