History

Established in 2014, ELAM is for students aged 16 to 19 who wish to pursue a career in music, games design or film and TV.[2][3]

In April 2017 ELAM moved into its permanent home in Bromley-by-Bow, East London. Prior to this ELAM was based at School 21 in Stratford.[4]

In May 2017 ELAM was graded Outstanding in every category by Ofsted in its first full inspection.[5]

Academics

ELAM does not have set grade boundaries for prospective students, however each applicant is assessed on a case-by-case basis. The course structure of ELAM requires all students to study an Extended Diploma in Music, Games Design or Film and Television in addition to English and Mathematics courses (ranging from GCSE to A-level grade depending on the student's previous achievement).[6]
