A new Brit School North is to open in Bradford, serving as a specialist college to 16- to 19-year-olds across West Yorkshire and the North.

Aiming to make the creative industries more accessible for young people from all backgrounds, the school’s plans in the north of England have been approved officially by the Department for Education (DfE). 

With a curriculum offering performance and skills-based subjects across music, theatre, musical theatre, dance, film and TV, interactive digital design and production arts, the school will open in 2026 or 2027; the final site in Bradford is yet to be confirmed.
