The school opened in 1981 in Drury Lane and in 1983, due to expansion, moved to its present premises, a former church school built in the 1880's. The solid, plain buildings have been adapted to provide such facilities as a library, a studio theatre, rehearsal rooms, showers and cloakrooms. There are approximately 150 pupils on roll. The school is non-denominational.
The school is well served by public transport and is a five minute walk from Marylebone station. Our central position affords easy access to other main line railway stations.
There is a happy family atmosphere at the school. Our objective is to provide a balanced education, with attention to individual needs in a well structured and caring environment. We are keen to develop individuality, confidence and social ease whilst encouraging pupils to achieve the skills necessary to succeed in public examinations. We aim to prepare pupils for GCSE examinations, to cultivate an interest in the theatre and to encourage a high standard of professionalism and self discipline in achieving skills associated with the performing arts. We expect participation and involvement in all areas of school life.
All pupils are members of our Agency and may have the opportunity to work professionally in films, theatre and television.
