Director's Welcome

BRIT Kids Kings Cross launched in January 2024 in partnership with Westminster Kingsway College. Welcoming children and young people from North London including Barnet, Brent, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and Tower Hamlets. Since launching we have students joining us from across London and beyond due to the excellent transport links.  BRIT Kids was set up by The BRIT School to offer Performing and Creative Arts classes to the local community on a Saturday. BRIT Kids is a place for children to explore their creativity, to challenge what they think the performing arts and creative arts can give them. However, for me, the most important part of BRIT Kids is the community feel on a Saturday. It is through this energy and creativity that the children find a way to build confidence, make new friends and gain a feeling that they belong to something really rather special.

BRIT Kids is different to other Saturday schools on many different levels. Firstly, we cater for all the Creative arts from Theatre to Art, Street dance to film-making. This unique mix of classes offered really does mean there is something for everyone. Alongside this we are proud to be part of The BRIT School, following it’s  ethos for creativity and inclusion, challenging our students with bespoke plays, contemporary art classes and high teaching levels with specialist equipment.

Over the course of the year there are shows and exhibitions, collaborations and events. This allows the children to show off their experiences and new skills to family and friends. However, the real work happens every Saturday in the classrooms, and I am lucky enough to have witnessed this energy over many years now.  I have witnessed shy, under-confident children join us and find a voice for themselves. I have spoken to parents that say BRIT Kids is the most treasured part of their child’s week.  In short, BRIT Kids has made a difference to so many children, in so many different ways, and I am very proud of this.

Whatever your reason for joining us - a creative outlet, to meet new friends, to be part of something - there are plenty of diverse classes to choose from. We will expect you to work hard, we will expect you to be challenged, and we will expect you to enjoy every minute of the journey!
