CAPA College Information

CAPA College provides FREE, post-16 education in the Arts across 5 pathways: MUSICAL THEATRE: Performing Arts, DANCE: Contemporary and Commercial, DRAMA: Stage and Screen, PRODUCTION ARTS: Technical and Creative Theatre, FILM and TV: Cinematography and Performance. We train and educate the next generation of performers, directors, script writers, technicians, critical thinkers, digital innovators and creative entrepreneurs. CAPA College is proven to transform young people's lives, improve life chances and address socio-economic and north/south inequalities. 64% of our students are from areas where young people are least likely to progress to university and 70% come from areas where young people have little engagement with the Arts. Despite this, 99% of last year’s graduates gained places at university and Arts conservatoires. Our students progress to incredible careers, from West End performers to Hollywood actors, from international lighting designers to leading theatre, film and television producers. In September 2022 we moved into our new, purpose-built, state-of-the-art facilities in the centre of Wakefield. This new facility is a national beacon of excellence in Arts, creative media and digital education and also a vibrant, cultural hub in the heart of Wakefield. Are you a business that is interested in supporting young people to reach their potential? We have a range of CSR and sponsorship opportunities available to help you enhance your profile, access new customers, and access a wider pool of potential new employees. CAPA College are honoured to have won two Sixth Form Colleges Association awards for 2021, both the award for ‘Governance’ and ‘Covid Above and Beyond’. CAPA College is part of Enhance Academy Trust, an exempt charity. Contact fundraising@capacollege.co.uk for further information.
