Nirvana Jamieson, a pupil from Beckley Primary School, will be leaving East Sussex in September to study ballet full-time at Elmhurst School for Dance – a prestigious vocational and associate school of the Birmingham Royal Ballet.
She was awarded the government-funded music and dance scholarship for the most talented dancers in the country, one of very few handed out by the top four chosen ballet schools.
