Escape Studios Visits ELAM

Yesterday Escape Studios Visited The East London School of Arts & Music (ELAM), one of London's leading schools for the arts - and the source of a good deal of talent at Escape Studios.

ELAM describes itself as  "a full-time Industry Academy for 16-19 years olds interested in pursuing a career in Music, Film and Television Production and Games Design." 

In other words, a perfect fit for Escape Studios. Many ELAM students apply to Escape, and are accepted onto our undergraduate courses.

Back to the BRIT School - Home of The Creative Arts

This week I was fortunate to return to the BRIT school, talking to 6th Formers about UCAS applications, life in the animation industry - and why BRIT students might want to apply to Escape Studios.

the BRIT school is a secondary school in Croydon with a special focus on the creative arts - including digital media. Some of our most talented Escapees have begun their studies at the BRIT school. 

Amy Winehouse was an alumnus, as is Adele, Jessie J, and the actor Tom Holland.

What is the Brit School?

Brit School, Croydon

At last week's Creative Workshop at Escape Studios, we had four applicants from a single school. They were classmates, who had applied to Escape Studios together.  Unusually, all of them had excellent portfolios.

Since it's not that common for us to have a large number of very high quality applicants from one institution, it made me want to know more about the school, and who is teaching there.

The school they are studying at is called the Brit school, and it has a special focus on the creative arts.

So, what is the Brit school, and what is it that they are doing to produce students of such high calibre?
