Amelia Minto

"Being at home is a lot different. Being able to have the flexibility to when you do your work to an extent, and it's all in one place. It's almost like being able to take all of my school with me. It's ten times easier to learn from home. I found that all the teachers are so lovely. It's great being able to email them if I have a concern about a lesson or tell them I need to catch up. They are all really nice and genuine. It's easy to get support if you need it because the teachers are much more accessible."

Maxwell Whitelock

“The difference in him is just amazing. I wake him up in the morning when I'm home, and before I even ask, he's logged on and ready. He knows his schedule and is very in tune with that. There's never any ‘I don't want to do this. I don't want to do that. It just gives us so much flexibility. If he gets an audition in London, that would've been a full day off school ordinarily. Whereas now, he can sit on the train and do his work.” - Maxwell's mum

Omari Mcqueen

16-year-old Omari McQueen is no stranger to breaking records, from earning the title of “Britain’s youngest TV chef” to starting his own vegan food company.

“[The teachers] understand that I have dyslexia. I’m able to message them to ask exactly what they want me to do for a task, and they’ll explain everything.” - Omari

“We’ve got a rule at home: If Omari wants to film, our deal is that he has to do his lessons during lunchtime, after filming, and on the weekend. He’s got the flexibility to catch up on lessons and do it at times that work for him." - Omari's mum

Cole and Bastian Fuentes

Bastian made global headlines when he was cast in Jurassic World: Dominion at just eight years old, and Cole has impressed in major projects like Batgirl. But while their film careers are on the rise, the Fuentes brothers are living proof that you don’t need to choose between dreams and education – at least not when you have the right school behind you.

Bella Ramsey

Actor Bella Ramsey starred in the HBO hit series Game of Thrones as Lady Lyanna Mormont and as the lead in CBBC’s Worst Witch series. They joined King's InterHigh because they didn’t enjoy mainstream school.

"King's Interhigh is, in my opinion, one of the best things the internet can be used for. It’s great. I love it and recommend it to everyone."

Maddie Evans

Maddie Evans’s biggest acting credits include HBO’s House of the Dragon, a Game of Thrones prequel. She has nothing but praise for the show’s cast and crew, and is grateful to have told what she believes is a monumental story. Her other roles include the hedgehog Mary Mary in the DreamWorks and Netflix show Rhyme Time Town, and a young Britney Spears in Pieces of Britney.

She says learning at King’s InterHigh lets her be her real self, and helps her to avoid the stresses and distractions of physical schools.

“With online schooling, you can be yourself without the judgement of other people, which is refreshing. This is my third year at King’s InterHigh and I’m loving it.”

Lillia Turner

“Joining King’s InterHigh was such a good career move because it really did help me balance everything so much better. With King’s InterHigh, it’s all so flexible and everything is constantly updated online, so I can just pick it up when I’m at work whenever I need to." - Lillia
