We are specialists in the Content Creation Arts, Entertainment Crafts and Media Technology.

We are a UK Centre of Screen Excellence educating young people aged 14 to 19 in media and production arts, crafts, trades and creative technical practice to prepare our leavers for Trainee-level roles in the Film and TV industries.

We develop our learners to break new artistic ground and be truly original; to challenge industry norms, behaviours and stereotypes; to be accepting and compassionate to folks from all backgrounds; and to discover through experimentation.

Based in the heart of the UK’s Film & TV production network.
