The BPI (British Phonographic Industry), which represents the UK’s recorded music industry, has revealed proposals to launch a specialist creative school in the North of England. The provisionally titled ‘BRIT School North’, would bring the successful model of Croydon’s BRIT School to the city of Bradford.
The BPI has submitted a bid for funding for the new school via the Department for Education’s free school funding process, Wave-15.

If approved, the school would be projected to open in 2026.
