Where did Kate Winslet go to college and high school?
Winslet attended St Mary and All Saints’ Church of England primary school. Living in a family of actors inspired her to pursue acting from a young age. She and her sisters participated in amateur stage shows at school and a local youth theatre, named Foundations. When she was five, Winslet made her first stage appearance as Mary in her school’s production of the Nativity play. She describes herself as an overweight child, who was called “blubber” by her schoolmates and was bullied for her appearance. She said she did not let this stop her.
Did Kate Winslet go to film school?
Winslet did go to a film school. At eleven, Winslet was accepted into the Redroofs Theatre School in Maidenhead. The school also functioned as an agency and took students to London to audition for acting jobs. She appeared in a Sugar Puffs commercial and was dubbed for foreign films. At school, she was made head girl, took part in productions of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and played the lead role of Wendy Darling in Peter Pan.
Winslet worked simultaneously with the Starmaker Theatre Company in Reading. She participated in over twenty of their stage productions but was rarely selected as the lead due to her weight. Nonetheless, she played key roles as Miss Agatha Hannigan in Annie, the Mother Wolf in The Jungle Book, and Lena Marelli in Bugsy Malone.
