   I graduated from the MA Acting course in 2024 and had the privilege of working with George Richmond-Scott. He created a supportive, safe environment that encouraged us to be the best versions of ourselves and grow as artists. The standards of teaching, actors and environment are second to none. It’s an incredible community to be a part of and learn from and I’m proud to say that I graduated from the MA course under George Richmond-Scott.

   I was lucky enough to train on the MA course 23-24, and I have to say George Richmond Scott was the most receptive, knowledgable and understanding course leader we had the fortune of being led by. He cares deeply about the course and the students and is so receptive and open to conversations and any issues. He’s continued to support us post graduation and shows up for his old students. He’s an absolute gem and a merit to the school.

   Excellent summer school - "Acting for Stage and Screen". A week long that focuses on skill building both in terms of acting and writing/composing their own short play. They also covered off various forms of media too. Lovely enthusiastic and welcoming teachers. They made my daughter feel welcome in unfamiliar surroundings from the first minute. She will be back next summer!

   My daughters did the summer courses this week (Jukebox musical and MT workshops) and both had a great experience. Inspiring and hard work but really friendly as well. It seemed like a really good atmosphere and they got a lot out of it. The musical was done from scratch with loads of input from the kids and they had a brilliant series of industry professionals running the MT workshops. Would definitely recommend!

   My daughter has been studying there for almost 2 years. What touched us the most was not only the educational side of it but the effort they make to make you feel at home even though she was away from her parents. Committed and brilliant teachers and staff. There is always lots of feedback, and the teachers are approachable. We would highly recommend it for dance and theatre

   Although it isn't cheap, ArtsEd musical theatre courses have been totally worth it. My 13 year old son happily goes every week and spends 3 hours (3 50 minute sessions with breaks) at Arts Ed on a Saturday morning with a dance, an acting, and a singing session. This term they performed Matilda and when I saw him perform I didn't recognise him. Everything had improved - acting, singing dancing, all of it. What's more, he really let himself go in a way he hadn't before and this can only be because of the encouragement and confidence given by his teachers.

   Applied in December. They could do virtual auditions like every other school but no, they decided to do self tapes (and you obviously have to pay for it). Applied before Christmas. Application said it will take 4 weeks (usually sooner) to get back to you. In the middle of February I asked whether they received my application because I didn't receive any response from them. Mind you, they didn't say they are sorry for that and they didn't ask to bear with them. Their only response was that they have a backlog with videos and they will be back within 2 weeks. They did respond today (7 days after the date stated in an email earlier) and they said that they have no place to offer me but I can always apply next year. Babe, I'm not going to apply to a drama school that didn't even bother to get back on their own to auditionees (who paid for this service) to tell them that they have delays in processing applications (aaand they were still late). The audition process goes to show much the school values your time and commitment. Luckily, I accepted a place at a different drama school but still wanted to get all my results just to see how it went. This was the last school to replay, way after other school. And remember that this is just a first stage of audition.

   I have recommended other parents to apply for Saturday classes here, although it's primarily an independent drama, dance, theatre and t.v.training 11- 18s day school. It was funded by Andrew Lloyd Webber in 2013 for a refurnishment programme taking on its founder Alicia Markova's mantle. Hammersmith Education Sept funds two bursaries a year to here. Getting a place is highly competitive.
