Why The BRIT School?
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.
Creativity is crucial to the future of our economy and
society. For over a quarter of a century, The BRIT School
has successfully nurtured creative skills in students from
every type of background alongside a robust and full
academic curriculum. And it does so for free.
If you chose 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 old meets the nurturing expertise of world-class
teachers.
The BRIT School revolutionises the lives of its students;
99% of all students who have graduated find work in
a huge range of creative industries, or enrol for higher
education. We are proud to be a Croydon school
and equally proud to have national and international
friends who support the school with professional and
unique opportunities. As the Good School Guide
articulates, “You’ll find BRIT graduates’ words, music,
performance, directorial and backstage talents just
about everywhere you look, from fashion shows to
musicals, national theatre to community arts, in the UK
and internationally.”
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 visit us, 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!"
