We’ve got something special going on. We know we’ve got it right. So we teach it. We teach and we learn, until the world thinks like us.

Chickenshed was the first centre to teach inclusive performing arts. Today, we still lead the way. Since 1995, we’ve extended our work to formally train some of those young people, and some who are not so young, in the art of inclusive performance.

Our courses – at BTEC, Foundation Degree, and MA level – are nationally recognised and accredited by both Edexcel and Middlesex University. We have flexible course entry requirements. This approach works. Recent BTEC successes include 100% retention rates and achievement. In a recent intake, 98% passed with a full Diploma and OFSTED gave us a rating of 1 – Outstanding.

So we know we produce outstanding results. We do it by inspiring people who have often been outstanding in their previous lives – but often for the wrong reasons. At Chickenshed, everyone stands out for the right reasons. Because Chickenshed is for everyone.
