Championing Accessibility
Learn more about our commitment to a more inclusive industry and how through expansion, we can create opportunities for even more talented individuals.
We must ensure that geography, disability, or financial background are not obstacles to entering the creative industries. The lack of fully accessible student accommodation at the school and nearby, has posed challenges for individuals with disabilities. As part of the NFTS’s long-term commitment to disabled talent, we have appointed a dedicated disability lead, introduced and new Accessible Living Bursary, and through expansion, will be able to build new fully accessible studios for students to live on-site, meaning they can have the very best experience we can offer.
This transformative initiative will directly support the School’s goal to increase enrolment from disadvantaged and underrepresented groups by 10% by 2028 and ensure that talented individuals with physical disabilities have equal access to world-class education, training, and career pathways in the screen industries.
Meet Hamish Thompson, our Disability Advocate, to hear more about how this transformational new initiative and how it will really make a difference to future students at the School.
