Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in joining our team.  This is a brilliant place to innovate, make and learn.  Elstree Screen Arts offers a unique education for students aged 14 to 19 specialising in the crafts, trades and technical disciplines that underpin the creative sector.  We provide core academic education alongside technical, vocational learning designed to develop learners to be creative, innovative and reflective.  We are also here to provide them with the necessary knowledge, skills and work experience to be employed in the film, TV and theatre industries, where there is currently a substantial skills shortage.

This is a creative college full of vitality and enthusiasm.  Our students are a credit to us and our campus is new and well resourced.  Our staff are passionate and industry credible.  ESA benefits from leading academic and industry partners.  We are a UK centre of Screen Excellence, a platinum artsmark accredited school and rated Outstanding by Ofsted in all categories. 

Our students are very engaged by the specialist education we provide here and the quality of student productions are often industry standard.  We have our own student led media production company who take on legitimate briefs for industry clients.  Our current showreel can be seen on our website - www.esaacademy.org.

ESA is a proud part of the Danes Educational Trust, more information about the Trust can be found here.

Thank you again for your interest in being a part of the team at Elstree Screen Arts Academy and working alongside our creative and curious learners.

Yours faithfully

Chris Mitchell

Principal
