We're a school with a mission

Our aim at CCTS is to encourage the next generation’s creative side to bring about a positive outlook on life.

A decade of excellence

CCTS was founded in 2014 and is an award winning Theatre School. Providing professional training in Musical Theatre, Singing, Dancing, Acting and LAMDA. Offering our students from ages 3 - 16+ the chance to grow in confidence and gain the skills to perform.

"There is an open and positive culture around safeguarding that puts children's interests first. Parents speak extremely positively about the camp, children enjoy the activities staff provide and are very keen to return" - Ofsted Inspection 2024

CCTS prides itself on being an inclusive company whilst adopting a nurturing approach. Enhancing the opportunity to utilise our classes as an outlet from a therapeutic perspective. Our students benefit from being taught by qualified industry professionals, working towards a yearly production.

In 2015 our sister company Candice Conway Theatre Camps became an Ofsted registered company and in 2018 we were officially rated as "Outstanding" in all areas by Ofsted.

Near those who need us

Candice Conway Theatre Camps, a vibrant hub of creativity and passion, has been actively raising funds for two incredibly worthy causes: Great Ormond Street Hospital and the British Heart Foundation. Through a combination of captivating professional showcase performances, engaging raffles, and fun-filled fundays, the camp has managed to raise close to £20,000, a testament to the dedication and generosity of its participants and supporters. These organizations hold a special place in the hearts of the camp community, representing the unwavering commitment to improving the lives of children and families facing challenging health circumstances. The showcase performances, featuring the raw talent and hard work of the young and professional performers, have captivated audiences and inspired donations. Raffles, filled with exciting prizes, have provided a fun and engaging way to contribute, while the fundays have brought the community together for an evening of fun and fundraising. Every pound raised brings hope and support to those who need it most, making Candice Conway Theatre Camps not just a place for artistic growth, but also a beacon of compassion and community spirit.
