CAPA College is a trailblazing Creative and Performing Arts College for 16-19 year olds located in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. We have five specialist pathways offering professional training and education in Dance, Drama, Musical Theatre, Film & TV and Production over two years of full-time study.
We are proud to be the highest performing DfE-funded Free School in the country with 100% A*-C results and ranked in the top 1% for student progress. Our graduates have secured places at prestigious universities and Arts conservatoires including RADA, LAMDA, Guildhall and Rambert School as well as forging spectacular careers in the Arts as West End performers, Hollywood actors, leading choreographers, international designers and award-winning film producers.
CAPA College is Exceptional in All Areas!
This achievement belongs to our whole CAPA College community. It reflects the passion, dedication and belief of the generations of students, staff, trustees, governors, alumni and supporters who have helped make our vision a reality. Together, we work to ensure that our core values of accessibility, collaboration and excellence are not just aspirations but lived experiences for every student.
While we are proud of how far we have come, we’re excited for what’s next. We look forward to building and continuing to provide exceptional opportunities for young people to thrive.
