About us

ELAM is a world-class 16-19 Academy which offers young people everything that they will need to lead successful lives within the music, games design and film and television industries.

For a long time it has been evident that many creative young people - particularly those from marginalised communities - miss their calling due to a lack of industry opportunities, low-level recognition of their talents and a failure to develop sector relevant skills. We do not believe that circumstance should ever be a barrier to any young person’s ability to realise their potential and we have made it our mission to show how talented young people can thrive and succeed in the creative industries.

ELAM was founded as a result of a deep and genuine partnership between devoted and visionary educators and professional creative industry collaborators. We are supported by and collaborate with a range of other organisations and individuals - such as Universal Music, YouTube, Sports Interactive, Creative Assembly, Sony Playstation, Microsoft, Space Ape Games and Chucklefish - who share our commitment to talented young people who might not otherwise get the chance to shine. Together, we are able to push pedagogical boundaries and create a truly world-class educational experience for our learners.

ELAM is not your typical school. We combine incredibly high standards with compassion and care, we aim to be more industry than school. We are looking for innovative, outstanding and dedicated individuals to help us prepare our talented students to thrive in the world they face tomorrow. We can build a learning environment that is rigorous, personalised and always ‘plugged-in’ to the real world.

We genuinely believe that, for the right candidates, this is a rare chance for passionate and creative professionals to become part of the ELAM team as we continue to design, build and deliver our vision for increasingly representative creative industries. If you deeply believe in the potential of talented young people and the possibility of radically changing access routes to the creative industries, please do join us on this journey.
