Bridge House

14 Round Church Street, opposite the Round Church, five minutes from King’s. Undergraduate courses, the Graduate School, art and design Foundation, student services, and the canteen. The main door.

Sturton Street

Performing arts, and the first year of the Extended Diploma. Fourteen studios — seven with Harlequin floors. A theatre of more than 1,800 square feet, seating a hundred. Recording studio, photography, dance, a café. Renovated in 2023.

Graduate Centre

Friar House, in the heart of the city. MA, Graduate Diploma, Pre-Master’s. iMacs, gaming PCs, photography, stop-motion, a student lounge — and the workshops across the other buildings still open.

Studios

Built to look like the rooms you will work in.

A studio of your own. Latest equipment, processes and programmes. Extensive access — including evenings and weekends.

Under 18

Dedicated under-18 halls. Professional house parents. A monitored environment — and still a house of working artists, not a locked corridor.

Over 18 · Batim House

University-style halls for older students. Safe, with on-site welfare, and the company of the same college. We recommend staying in. The city is then ordinary, not a commute.

A considered next step

Ānanda Academy is the education concierge. CSVPA is the college. We sit with the family until the year, the pathway and the file can be read.
