Our amazing Trainees never fail to impress us. In 2024 our Games Design, Film and TV, Music Production and Music Performance Trainees managed to achieve the best set of results in ELAM’s history. This was no mean feat as our Trainees and Alumni have traditionally achieved incredibly high results. However the 2024 cohort have worked and collaborated hard to raise the bar even higher. We are so proud of them - they deserve it!

ELAM is rated ‘Outstanding’ by OFSTED with inspectors finding, “Learners, known as trainees, love their time at ELAM. They are embedded in a culture of inclusiveness and respect. Trainees learn, create and perform in a safe environment using high-quality, industry-standard equipment. They have everything they need to find their creative voice.”
September - the management company, record label and music publisher whose clients include Rex Orange County, Glass Animals and Adele, - has confirmed that it will partner with East London Arts & Music college (ELAM).
The partnership will involve a donation to enable ELAM to provide a range of programmes, with the aim of supporting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to fulfil their potential as creatives in Music, Games Design or Film & TV. September’s staff are also taking part in ELAM’s Industry Engagement programme by mentoring students and delivering masterclasses.
“ At ELAM we believe that all children should see themselves reflected in UK culture. Our programmes ensure that we attract young people who would most benefit from studying at ELAM, we remove financial barriers to their participation, connect them with the creative industries and support them in their industry-related next steps. We are incredibly grateful to September for their support which will help to change the lives of our Trainees.’’
~ Matt Sheldon- Principal
