Welcome
The BRIT School is free to attend and open to everyone and is celebrating 30 years of unrivalled teaching and student achievement .
We believe in creativity and that young people of all backgrounds should be able to develop their creative talent and craft and make a powerful contribution to society . If nothing else the pandemic has proved that the qualities and values of The BRIT School matter . The world needs creativity and the creative industries more than ever before ; digital solutions , imaginative ideas , art , entertainment . It needs polymaths who value science , history , maths and art all at the same time . It needs original , responsible and ambitious young people - like you - to make the world work . And it needs a more inclusive society where everyone matters . We are proud at our 30th year milestone to have successfully nurtured creative skills in students from every type of background , alongside providing a robust and full academic curriculum to be the person and citizen they want to be . We will give them a future and a path to further training as well as the tools and the industry knowledge . Nearly 100 % of all students who have graduated find work in a huge range of creative industries , or enrol for higher education .
If you choose to come here , you will be given the tools to carve out your career , the space to think and the environment to be you . This is a playground with professional boundaries where the raw talent of 14 – 19 year olds is nurtured by experienced world-class teachers . There are five qualities we want our students to take on when they come here : originality , responsibility , ambition , inclusivity and kindness . This means you will find your space here to unlock your creative potential , be your own person , be kind and act responsibly to others and yourself , and you will be accepting of the diverse community of artists you will work with every day . You will experience powerful assemblies on mental health , Black History and LGBTQ +, watch and participate in fantastic productions and exhibitions .
There are industry standard facilities in our studios , classrooms and theatres thanks to , amongst many , but specifically Andrew Lloyd Webber , Nile Rodgers , the Utley Foundation , YouTube Music , Royal Bank of Canada , Netflix , Tim Cook at Apple and the Arts Council , all who have worked to support this School . We have an impressive Board of Trustees and an active BRIT Parent Community .
Parents and carers - your child will be happy here , they will learn to be who they are , with skills and kindness . You will see for yourselves their work on show and you too will be welcomed as part of the BRIT Community . This is a hardworking , fun , passionate school packed with dedicated individuals who love the creative and performing arts and recognise the importance of a thorough and robust education in all subjects . We believe in developing well rounded , articulate , kind and dynamic young people and want to encourage you to read this prospectus with excitement and see if this is the right place for you .
" My children have blossomed at The BRIT School . It has been truly wonderful watching them excel in their chosen courses of Dance and Visual Arts and Design . The thing that has impressed me the most , however , and that you don ’ t know about when you read the prospectus , is the amazing pastoral care and support the students receive . I honestly consider BRIT as our extended family !"
