Welcome to OSPA ACADEMY: Where Passion Meets Performance!

 

Founded in 2015 by visionary principal Danielle Looker and a dedicated team of educators, OSPA ACADEMY (One School of Performing Arts) emerged with a singular mission: to ignite the passion for performing arts in children across East and North London. We strive to create an environment that is not only fun and professional but also safe and inspiring.

 

From day one, our focus has been on nurturing confidence and self-esteem in our students through the transformative power of the arts. We believe in the importance of fitness and a healthy lifestyle and aim to equip young performers with essential skills that will benefit them in any path they choose. Our experienced instructors, who once walked the same path as aspiring artists, are dedicated to sharing their expertise and opportunities, following esteemed syllabi like IDTA, Acrobatic Arts, and ABRSM.

 

Since our inception, we’ve steadily grown and refined our offerings while seeking new avenues for student experiences, auditions, and achievements. We take immense pride in our talented, diverse, and qualified faculty, who are committed to delivering education in a fun, safe, and professional manner.

 

In just a short span, OSPA has cultivated a vibrant reputation that blends fierceness with friendliness, all while maintaining our cherished family ethos. Whether it’s dazzling audiences at our annual Christmas Carol recital, clinching top spots in national and international dance competitions, or ensuring our students achieve a remarkable 100% pass rate in their IDTA Dance and Acro examinations, every moment at OSPA is a celebration of talent and hard work. Additionally, our annual professional theatre show is a highlight of our calendar, showcasing the incredible abilities of our students. 

 

At OSPA, we’re proud to offer free workshops and camps during half-term and summer breaks to the children of Islington and Hackney, providing over 1,000 free spaces last year, while also supporting families and feeding children in need.

 

While we may not be the largest performing arts school, we excel in offering a diverse mix of styles, a devoted team, and meaningful relationships among staff, students, and parents. The personal touch we provide ensures that we love what we do and treasure our OSPA family.

 

Looking ahead, our commitment to innovation and excellence remains unwavering. We aim to enhance our competition success, continue our stellar 100% pass rate for IDTA Dance and Acro exams, and expand our burgeoning FOOTBALL ACADEMY, which is rapidly becoming an integral part of the Islington community.
