Sylvia Young Theatre School, Rossmore Road, 2006.

Sylvia Young Theatre School is an independent school in Marble Arch, London, England. It is a specialist performing arts school named after its founder and principal, Sylvia Young OBE.

Outline

The Sylvia Young Theatre School was founded in 1972 with part-time classes in east London. It was established as a full-time school in 1981 on Drury Lane and, due to expansion, it moved to a former 1880s church school building in Rossmore Road, Marylebone in 1983. The school moved premises once again in 2010 to a converted church in Nutford Place, Westminster.

Students either attend the full-time school (students aged 10 to 16 years), the part-time school on Thursday evenings and Saturdays (students aged 4 to 18 years) or holiday schools (students aged 7 to 18 years). Tuition fees for full-time schooling (as of 2022) are £15,000 per annum for day pupils, £25,000–30,000 per annum for boarding pupils. (Day pupils outnumber boarding pupils by a factor of five to one.)

Students from the Sylvia Young Theatre School have appeared in television, film and theatre productions, including main roles in EastEnders, Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean, Matilda, Billy Elliot, The Lion King, The Bodyguard, Les Misérables, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The school has been described as "Eton for the Pop Idol generation" and is renowned for producing soap stars, pop stars and TV personalities.
