ArtsEd (Arts Educational Schools, London) is one of the UK's foremost centres for performing arts education, with a rich heritage of innovation, excellence and impact. Its roots trace back to Grace Cone and Olive Ripman, who in the early 20th century pioneered a vocational training approach that combined academic education with specialist training in dance, drama and music. In 1939, they joined forces to form the Cone Ripman School, later renamed Arts Educational Schools. From its earliest days, ArtsEd has shaped the UK's cultural landscape, providing the founding talent for what became the English National Ballet and training generations of performers who have gone on to national and international acclaim. The school continues to innovate while honouring its heritage. Under visionary leaders, and with the support of figures such as Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, ArtsEd now offers outstanding programmes across its Day School & Sixth Form, Higher Education courses in Acting and Musical Theatre, short courses and wider participation activities. The Day School & Sixth Form is widely recognised as the UK's leading school of its kind, with a value-added score in the top 1% nationally. Graduates achieve exceptional outcomes: nearly all Musical Theatre graduates and over three-quarters of Acting graduates make their professional debuts within six months, while many others progress to Russell Group universities across a wide range of academic disciplines. ArtsEd combines the artistic excellence, academic rigour and strong industry connections required to educate, inspire and prepare young people for creative and professional success.

ArtsEd (Arts Educational Schools, London) is one of the UK's foremost centres for performing arts education, with a rich heritage of innovation, excellence and impact. Its roots trace back to Grace Cone and Olive Ripman, who in the early 20th century pioneered a vocational training approach that combined academic education with specialist training in dance, drama and music. In 1939, they joined forces to form the Cone Ripman School, later renamed Arts Educational Schools. From its earliest days, ArtsEd has shaped the UK's cultural landscape, providing the founding talent for what became the English National Ballet and training generations of performers who have gone on to national and international acclaim. The school continues to innovate while honouring its heritage. Under visionary leaders, and with the support of figures such as Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, ArtsEd now offers outstanding programmes across its Day School & Sixth Form, Higher Education courses in Acting and Musical Theatre, short courses and wider participation activities. The Day School & Sixth Form is widely recognised as the UK's leading school of its kind, with a value-added score in the top 1% nationally. Graduates achieve exceptional outcomes: nearly all Musical Theatre graduates and over three-quarters of Acting graduates make their professional debuts within six months, while many others progress to Russell Group universities across a wide range of academic disciplines.
