About Elstree Screen Arts Academy
Love Learning. Make Magic.
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

The college worked out so well for my oldest son that I moved my youngest here too. It’s positive, constructive and diverse attitude to learning has definitely brought the best out of my children. It’s an environment where children with a vision want to be.
- Allison Robinson, Parents of KS5 StudentThe community at EUTC is unlike any educational community i’ve been a part of before. Staff provide a wonderfully calm and nurturing environment for students to grow in and in turn the students provide staff with a wealth of respect.
- Tom Golds, Production Arts Teacher“Achievement in some of the school’s specialist areas is good. Inspectors noted students’ good or exceptional achievement in dance, drama, creative writing, and theatrical hair and make-up. Students’ portfolios of work in art, media and graphics are of a high quality. Students are being prepared well for events to perform in front of audiences, and to pursue further learning and careers in these areas.”
