The School
We were founded in 1988 by English National Ballet to provide talented young dancers with the highest quality of training. Today the School exists as a separate entity but maintains strong links with its parent company, sharing its commitment to quality, accessibility and diversity.
We are the peer of the major ballet schools in France, the United States, Denmark and the UK and have trained countless dancers who are now working in major ballet companies worldwide. Currently a third of the dancers at English National Ballet are graduates of the School.
We have consistently achieved Outstanding by the UK Schools inspectorate (Ofsted) since inspections began in 2002 and have maintained a 100% graduate employment rate.

Supporting Us
We are committed to providing the highest quality of training to talented students irrespective of their background or ability to pay.
It costs £23,000 to train each student per year. The support of our donors is vital in keeping tuition fees affordable and accessible to all.
We depend on a broad range of generous donors. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us make far-reaching impact on the lives of our young dancers. So whether you are an individual, a company or charitable trust or foundation, we would like to hear from you.
In October 2012 we launched our new Supporters Scheme- a three tier programme designed to give you exclusive access and insight into our School whilst raising much needed funds for our scholarship programme.

Location
ENBS is situated in the heart of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in south-west London, very close to the famous and fashionable King's Road. The immediate area is residential with good shopping and restaurants near by and whilst a busy location, it does not have the stresses and congestion of London's West End.
The students have easy access to some of the most famous landmarks and institutions in London, like the Royal Albert Hall, Royal College of Music and Harrods.
London offers students a wealth of opportunities to enhance their cultural and artistic development outside the School curriculum. The capital city offers the most exciting and vibrant arts community with thriving world-class ballet, theatre, opera, art galleries and museums.
Cultural visits to galleries, museums and performances are organised by the School as part of the academic curriculum, and students are also strongly encouraged to visit these venues independently. Such opportunities and experiences serve to augment their future careers in the theatre and the arts.
The School is well served by London Underground transport and bus services and is within safe walking distance of the living accommodation provided by nearby recommended hostels.
