You will be required to upload a recent headshot within your application form. Professional headshots are not necessary, and images can be taken on a mobile device. The headshot is for internal purposes only and will used so our Admissions Team and audition panel are able to identify you. Please ensure your image:

• Is in portrait orientation
• Is taken within the last 6 months
• Is in front of plain background (ideally white)
• Shows your full face clearly e.g. hair tied back
• Shows head and shoulders clearly

You will be required to submit a personal statement as part of the application form. Your personal statement should reflect who you are as a person and you can submit this in a way that feels most accessible to you.

For more information on the personal statement requirements and different ways in which you can submit, you can download our personal statement guidance below.

All applicants (unless you are a member of the Assisted Application Scheme) are required to pay a £60.00 application fee.

Once you have reached the end of your application form and clicked ‘Submit’, you will be redirected to a shopping cart where you will need to pay the application fee.

Please note, we are unable to process an application unless payment has been received. Should you have any concerns about the application fee, please contact admissions@csbschool.co.uk
