The BRIT School is an exceptional educational institution where students achieve great things in academic, vocational and artistic studies.

The BRIT School is a one of a kind FREE Performing Arts and Technology School. It is an independent state funded City College for the Technology of the Arts, dedicated to education and vocational training for the performing arts, media, art and design and the technologies that make performance possible.

THE MOST IMPORTANT SUBJECTS

Mark Featherstone-Witty had been inspired by Alan Parker's 1980s film Fame to create a secondary school specialising in the performing arts. By the time he started trying to raise money through the School for Performing Arts Trust, he had refined a novel integrated curriculum. He approached Richard Branson to be the Project Champion who had agreed, but would only do so if other record companies chipped in. As it happened, the British Phonographic Industry were concerned with home taping and realised they had no political influence to bring the necessary pressure to bear. The Conservative Government needed to give impetus to their flagging City Technology College scheme.

THE HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL

I know that my school has music lessons, a school choir and is also has the possibility to do theatre actuations, but I would really like to have dance lessons. It could be an optional course for those who like dancing.

I would also like a drama lesson for everybody at the school, to know how to act in front of people and not to be embarrassed.

CHANGES IN MY SCHOOL

I loved the place...I wouldn’t have been prepared for what’s happening to me now if I hadn’t been to The BRIT School. Being there gave me the confidence I needed.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, on behalf of the school, for the wonderful improvement in her confidence. We are excited to see her developing not just skills but a character who is able to use those skills.

There is play and adventure within a rigorous learning framework”
