London Screen Academy was set up with the mission to diversify the screen industries. As such, we are looking for interested young people who understand the value of this mission and want to uphold it in the work they do during their time at the college and beyond. The vision of LSA is to create stories that change the world and the students who show passion and excitement for storytelling will thrive at the school.
We are looking for passion and love of stories, filmmaking and creativity! We don't expect you to have previous experience in any form of filmmaking, editing, VFX, costume design/making, hair/makeup... we just want to know that if you are offered a place at LSA, you will soak up every opportunity that comes your way. Show us that passion and we will be sure to offer you an interview!
Students need a minimum of 4 GCSEs at grades 4-9, or other Level 2 equivalents. LSA expects applicants to have achieved grades 4-9 in English, Maths or both. If you do not achieve a Grade 4 pass at GCSE in either English or Maths, we offer intensive support in preparation for retakes. You will not be able to enrol if you do not pass both English or Maths at GCSE.
