Ravenscourt Theatre School was founded in 1989 by Sir Robin Phillips following the closure of Corona Academy on the retirement of its principal. Corona was a very successful school running for some forty years in Hammersmith and producing top stars of stage and screen. Sir Robin ran the Corona agency for many years and most of the traditions of Corona were incorporated into the Ravenscourt Theatre School including the uniform and the teaching format with full academic studies in the morning and vocational training in the afternoon.

Ravenscourt Theatre School has a fine reputation in the performing arts built on the enjoyment of learning the techniques of dramatics, dance and singing skills. Our aim is to help each child to develop their talents and abilities and to cultivate practical and creative skills so that they may gain the experience they need to follow a career in the theatrical profession. This, coupled with an efficient theatrical agency, enables the pupils to receive both a well balanced education and an opportunity to gain practical experience in professional theatre, television and film productions, although the emphasis is on learning the technique first.
The aims and ideals of the school are to develop happy confident and caring children and to equip them with a working knowledge of all they will need to succeed in the profession. The school is based in Hammersmith and is one minutes walk from Ravenscourt Park underground station which is on the District Line.
