ArtsEd originated from two schools, one founded in 1919 by Grace Cone and one in 1922 by Olive Ripman. These two women were ground-breaking educational pioneers who believed passionately in the value of combining a general academic education with a specialised
training in dance, drama, music and art, preparing young men and women for professional careers in or related to the theatre.
ArtsEd has developed over the years and today our musical theatre training is recognised as the best in the UK. Our acting for film and TV training has been praised for its innovation and our day school is the highest ranking performing arts school in the UK.
In recognition of the quality of our training ArtsEd was awarded a grant of £3,544,200 by the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation to fund a major refurbishment project. The money was spent on improving four key areas: the main theatre, costume storage, the School of Film and Television and the school’s access facilities. ArtsEd’s new theatre is now a state-of-the-art 21st century performance space enabling students to more closely experience West End conditions.
