Reaching us is a breeze. We're just a 5-minute drive from the A1 or M1 (junction 47) and a short walk from the mainline train station to both Leeds and York. Buses stop frequently within walking distance of the College, making your journey to us as smooth as possible. We also have an on site car park for those that wish to drive.
At SLP Junior Associates, we believe in your potential. Each step you take with us brings you closer to your dream of becoming a professional performer.
