Help nurture the next generation of world-class dancers

90% of students rely on financial support to attend the School, with 25% receiving 100% fee support. Our commitment to needs-blind recruitment means that talent and potential, not financial circumstances, determine who has the opportunity to train here.

Your donation helps make this commitment possible and supports the School’s distinctive model for excellence, grounded in the belief that great artists are made by investing in the whole person. Through exceptional artistic training, academic education, specialist healthcare and pastoral support, and whole-person care, we give young dancers the foundations to flourish, both on stage and beyond.

Your support enables us to:

  • Seek and nurture young dancers with outstanding potential from the UK and around the world, regardless of background or circumstance
  • Transform potential through world-leading education, training and whole-person care to develop exceptional individuals
  • Empower exceptional individuals to shape the future of ballet and the arts through artistry and creative innovation.

 

Every gift sustains the School’s commitment to artistic excellence, innovation and accessibility in the performing arts. Together, we can ensure that the beauty and tradition of ballet continue to inspire audiences for the next 100 years.
