The North Wall

The pioneering North Wall Arts Centre is owned and managed by the School but runs a nationally-significant public theatre, gallery and artist development programme.

The award-winning North Wall Arts Centre at St Edward’s opened in 2007, built on the site of the School’s Victorian swimming pool. London Architects, Haworth Tompkins, were commissioned to design a building which would include a theatre, drama and dance studios and an art gallery.

The North Wall boasts a national reputation for the quality and scope of its prolific public programme. Over 100 performances and exhibitions by talented writers, actors, dancers, directors and artists from across the UK and Europe attract 20,000 visitors a year.

For pupils of St Edward’s, daily access to a working theatre and art gallery, and all the professional writers, directors, performers, technicians and artists who use the space, is an unparalleled opportunity unique in education. Teddies pupils have an excellent track record on stage and screen, and in the wider creative industries. Recent alumni include actors Emilia Clarke, Sebastian de Souza and Pippa Bennett-Warner.
