The Government has approved plans for a new Brit School in Bradford, based on the renowned creative college in south London.

Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin said: ‘This is a fantastic win for the north and supports our ambition to ensure opportunities for all, no matter where you’re from or where you live.’

The free school will offer more than 500 students aged 16-19 the opportunity to study a creative curriculum, with subjects such as dance, music, theatre and production arts.

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI), which represents record labels in the UK, has said that it hopes to open the school in 2026.

The leader of Bradford Council, Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe, said: ‘This is brilliant news for the Bradford district and will help cement our place as a creative powerhouse.

‘There is a huge creative and cultural buzz around Bradford right now. We are preparing to be the UK’s City of Culture in 2025 and will soon celebrate the opening of Bradford Live, a new 4000 capacity live music venue in the old Odeon cinema.

‘I am delighted that the BPI has decided Bradford would be the perfect location for their new school. It is a great decision on their part. There is enormous talent in our young, energetic, diverse population and this can bring them life-changing opportunities.’
