Summary

NW1 Theatre School Limited is a performing arts education provider founded in 2016 by Christopher Campbell in Lancashire. The school has experienced remarkable growth from an initial cohort of four students to over 260 students across four sites in Lytham St Annes, Blackpool, Kirkham, and Preston. The institution provides comprehensive training in theatre, song, dance, and production, with programmes grounded in the prestigious LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) curriculum, while also offering training opportunities in television and film acting alongside radio presenting.

The five-figure investment enables NW1 Theatre School to expand its operations and enhance service delivery across its four locations. The funding supports facility improvements, equipment purchases, and operational expansion to accommodate growing student demand and programme diversification in the performing arts education sector.

“This investment marks a significant milestone in NW1 Theatre School’s journey. It will allow us to enhance our facilities and expand our program offerings, creating more opportunities for young people across Lancashire to develop their performing arts skills in an inclusive, supportive environment.”

Christopher Campbell, Director at NW1 Theatre School
