We are an internationally renowned centre of excellence for the performing arts, providing outstanding vocational training for talented young artists. Degree students can choose between our exceptional triple threat Musical Theatre training or our contemporary and inclusive Acting training which is split 50:50 between training for stage and screen.
Our highly skilled and dedicated staff share their expertise, as well as their passion for performance, with pupils, sixth formers, undergraduates, and postgraduates. All with a unique energy and joy, in our welcoming west London home. Our exceptional teaching, outstanding pastoral care and world-class facilities give all our students a flying start, nurturing talent and embedding the core skills that enable fulfilling careers in the performing arts and beyond.
A core part of every student’s education is public performance. They are able to demonstrate their considerable talent in our annual season of shows in our beautiful in-house performance space, the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation Theatre. Our third-year degree shows are outstanding and regularly sold out to audiences of agents, industry professionals, family, friends and the local community.
The success of our approach has led to ArtsEd graduates playing a key role in the success of the UK’s creative economy for many years and achieving remarkable success in the industry. They include leading choreographers, directors and producers alongside performers ranging from Dame Julie Andrews, Dame Darcy Bussell and Samantha Barks to Tuppence Middleton, Omari Douglas, Jessica Brown-Findlay, Lashana Lynch and Leo Woodall starring as Bridget Jones’ love interest in the upcoming film Mad About The Boy. It is with immense pride that we can say that whether you’re spending an evening at the cinema, a matinee at the theatre or a cosy night at home you can spot an ArtsEd alumnus.
Our high standard of training, results in a large cost for several reasons, the simplest being the level and quality of contact teaching hours our students receive. We want to keep our fees low to remain inclusive.
Situated in the heart of west London, just two minutes from Turnham Green Underground station, we welcome a variety of people to the building throughout the year. Our building is open every evening, weekend and holiday, welcoming people, young and old, to our own courses and to classes with groups that hire our wonderful spaces. Industry professionals, including agents, casting directors and producers regularly attend all of our degree shows.
There are many ways you can support us from being an event sponsor, production sponsor or major sponsor. Please contact development@artsed.co.uk to discuss these opportunities in more detail.
