Donate to ELAM
As a sixth form Academy, we receive funding from the Department for Education. However, this funding only covers the core curriculum costs. However, in order to provide the best in-class, specialist education that is accessible for all, we need to raise additional money.
Screen Academy Foundation
We are supported by the Screen Academy Foundation (SAF) that raises vital income each year to supplement our Government funding.
SAF receives funding from likeminded industry partners, foundations and individuals. This funding covers a range of programmes and initiatives, including but not limited to:
Industry-standard equipment and world-class facilities
An in-house Industry team who actively engage with organisations and individuals who can provide opportunities for our Trainees and Alumni within the Film and TV, Music and Gaming industries. This team also supports the most promising young artists as they navigate conversations with record labels.
Dedicated Outreach teams who proactively engage with secondary school students from hard-to-reach communities and socially deprived areas to encourage them to apply to ELAM, ensuring those who would most benefit from two years studying at ELAM have the opportunity to apply
An enhanced Pastoral Care and Mental Health Programme for our diverse Trainee population, including those with Special Educational Needs and/or on EHCPs
Travel bursaries to ensure there are no financial barriers to studying at ELAM
Subsidised nutritious, healthy catering and free breakfasts
Enrichment activities to increase students’ cultural capital and wellbeing
