Twenty-one year old Jade, who lives in Chiswick, graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in Acting following the completion of her three-year training. She has already scored success with a TV appearance in BBC1’s Doctors.

Mum Caroline trained at Arts Ed herself and is now Head of Acting, as well as completing a MA in Screenwriting. She will continue to teach at ArtsEd and has a number of script ideas in development.

Caroline commented: “Graduation Day is always a special day for parents. I’m so proud of Jade as both her mum and her teacher, it’s a special privilege to be able to share the day as a fellow student too!”

The ceremony took place last Monday (September 10) at St Michael and All Angels Church in Chiswick with guest speaker actress Martina Laird.
