In May 2023, the annual Phyllis Haylor Scholarship was awarded to Amy Coulson. On receiving the scholarship, Amy said:
"I very much look forward to continuing my training within the ISTD learning from the best teachers in the industry continuing my development and understanding. I look forward to working closely with my teacher Yvonne Taylor-Hill whom I have enjoyed studying with and who has helped me to achieve the marks I got in my most recent exam and who has helped me to become the teacher I am today.
