Career
Before being cast in Matilda, Ingram played a workhouse child in Oliver! at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. From November 2010 to January 2011 she played the title role in the Royal Shakespeare Company's Matilda the Musical in Stratford-upon-Avon. She was the only original Matilda transferred to the West End cast, where she shared the role with three other girls at the Cambridge Theatre. In April 2012, just after departing the show, she received an Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical. After completing Matilda, she played a small role in Tom Hooper's film adaptation of Les Miserables.
From 2013 to 2015, Ingram portrayed Shireen Baratheon in the third through fifth season of HBO's fantasy TV series Game of Thrones. In 2013, she appeared at the Doctor Who Prom as the Queen of Years, where she sang "The Rings of Akhaten" with Allan Clayton. Other roles include Lois Wren in an episode of Doctors, and a role in the BBC adaptation of Wolf Hall alongside Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis.

Ingram lives in Warfield with her mother, Sally, and her two siblings.[3]
She attended St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Bracknell, Berkshire, followed by Charters School in Sunningdale from 2010 to 2011[4] and Redroofs Theatre School[5] in Maidenhead. In 2013 she joined Hurst Lodge School in Ascot, Berkshire.
