Autumn Term 2021 will take place in person in our Bellfield venue in Portobello and outside in the Bellfield garden, weather permitting. (Film classes and Drama Hub will remain online).

There is a one-off £5 (separate from your taster fee) Covid supplement charge for all new and returning students to cover the extra cost of cleaning and staff throughout the term.

Masks in Class: Students age 12yrs and up will be required to wear a face covering (unless exempt) and maintain 1m distance, in line with the guidance in schools. Please talk to you child about this before booking.
