About us

SLP College is a specialist performing arts college in Garforth, Leeds, offering professional training in musical theatre and dance. Established in 1991 in a converted chapel, we’ve been providing quality training in the North of England for over 30 years, welcoming students from a wide range of backgrounds who show potential, passion and commitment.

Alongside our professional diploma routes, we now offer an undergraduate BA (Hons) Musical Theatre (Performance) (with optional Foundation Year), awarded by the University of Chichester. Our teaching is practice-led and industry-facing, with specialist staff and regular guest teachers supporting students to grow in skill, confidence and professional habits.

What makes us different

  • A Northern training base with a professional culture: A focused environment built for daily training, rehearsal discipline, and consistent progress.
  • Facilities designed for performers: Including dedicated dance studios, specialist acting/singing spaces, and a 100-seat studio theatre with lighting and sound.
  • Teaching that stays current: Specialist faculty supported by regular visiting guest teachers, bringing fresh perspectives and up-to-date industry practice into the studio.
  • Individuality matters: We actively aim to preserve and develop each student’s individual creative identity, not produce clones.
  • Support built into the experience: A visible care and welfare structure that recognises the intensity of full-time vocational training and supports students to sustain it well.
