Filmed in Manchester, the focus of Britannia High is a contemporary British performing arts school where the super-talented characters strive to achieve their dreams of musical, theatrical and dance success.  
The drama series sees the students, Claudine, Lauren, Danny, Lola, Jez and BB learn how to make their mark on the world. They're working to be the best they can be in every discipline, but also gain knowledge of life and the obstacles that have to be overcome.
The series follows the trials, tribulations, highs and lows of the group who are ambitious, intelligent and charismatic. They are bursting with talent and vying for centre stage particularly when it comes to the school's end-of-term showcase as each of the students will perform for an enthusiastic audience at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. There's also cameo appearances from some of the UK's top recording artistes – Girls Aloud and Boyzone plus special guest appearances by Coronation Street's Ryan Thomas, ex-Busted and I'm A Celebrity winner, Matt Willis, Eastenders and Hollyoaks actress, Gemma Bissex and comedian Richard Blackwood.
Sapphire Elia plays Claudine, who has show business in her blood. She's determined to make it as a singer and performer by any means necessary.
Georgina Hagen stars as Lauren, who hails from a small town and a close knit family and initially feels lost amongst the huge personalities at the school.
Mitch Hewer is Danny, Britannia High's exceptionally talented all round entertainer, who brims with wit and charm.
Rana Roy plays Lola, whose eccentricities and naive optimism make her hugely popular with her friends. She also happens to be a phenomenal dancer.
Matthew James Thomas stars as highly intelligent and quick-witted Jez, who finally finds a sense of belonging when he enrols at Britannia High.
Marcquelle Ward is BB, who considers himself to be the UK's answer to 50 Cent, but is actually the most grounded and mature of all the students.
Also starring are Mark Benton as Principal Nugent, Michele Austin as eccentric landlady Mrs Troy, Lorraine Pilkington as music mentor Anna and Adam Garcia as athletic dance teacher Stefan. All have an important impact on the student's lives, guiding them as they discover who they are and become who they want to be.
