The Academy
The Boury Academy CIC is a Not For Profit Performing Arts School designed to increase access to Affordable Professional Training for children and young people aged 4-21.
At The Boury Academy we aim to provide the same, or often a higher, standard of training than many traditional stage schools while keeping our classes welcoming, supportive and accessible.
​
Our students train with experienced industry professionals and work towards high-quality productions that challenge them creatively and technically. We are incredibly proud that our work with young people has been recognised through multiple awards, but the real success is seeing our students grow in confidence, skill and ambition each year.
​
Performing arts develops far more than just stage skills. Through acting, singing and movement, young people build confidence, creativity, resilience and teamwork. They learn how to express themselves, support one another and push themselves outside their comfort zone.
​
The Boury Academy is also about community. Our students come from schools across Lambeth and beyond, forming friendships and connections that extend far beyond the rehearsal room. We aim to create a positive, constructive space where young people feel safe, inspired and excited to grow.
For some students this is the beginning of a professional journey in the arts. For others it is simply a place to belong, to be creative and to discover what they are capable of.
Both are equally important to us.
Mission & Vision
Our mission is to increase access to professional performing arts for young people by providing affordable training and career opportunities from our rehearsal studios in Lambeth. To increase diversity in the arts through that access and to build confidence, creativity, community cohesion and provide a safe place to be.
Our vision is of a world where there are no barriers to the performing arts, where Young People feel represented, valued and empowered.
We are committed to increasing access and diversity in professional performing arts by nurturing and developing young people with an empathetic approach that fosters their creativity and talent. We aim for excellence in performing arts by offering high-quality teaching and mentoring from industry experts.
At Boury Academy, we believe that a strong foundation of policies and guidelines fosters a safe, inclusive, and enriching educational environment for our students, staff, and parents alike.
