Auditions for the K-Factor are being held on Thursday, July 7^th in the drama studio at 3.30pm and four acts will be sent through to the town-wide competition.

A group of Year 11s are running the auditions - Ross Chester (pictured), Jamie Docherty, Ryan Ollett, Chloe Stolarski, Ellie Warren and Karolina Zeissel, who are returning to KSA in September to study A Level Performing Arts.

They are encouraging comedians, actors, clowns, dancers, magicians and musicians to audition.

Ross, who has just finished a GCSE in Performing Arts, said: "I think the hardest thing will be deciding who should go through to the show from the auditions.

"We're looking for variety and something that we might not have seen before.

"My advice to the acts would be not to be nervous and to take this opportunity and just go for it."

Other acts will be invited to perform at the Inter Sales show in Kettering's Market Place on July 9th.
