Open days at Birmingham Independent School of Performing Arts

Nov 8 2008 by Graham Young, Birmingham Mail

BIRMINGHAM’S first performing arts school is throwing its doors open for the next two Sundays to give the parents of prospective pupils with the ‘X’ factor a chance to look round.

Dubbed ‘The Flame Academy’, the Birmingham Independent School of Performing Arts will be based at The Old Fire Station, 287 Moseley Road, Birmingham.

Non-denominational and co-educational, students aged 11 to 16 will only be able to join after successful auditions. For students joining BISPA in years 7, 8 or 9 in September, 2009 the annual fees will be £6,995 (payable termly in advance), but it’s hoped bursaries will be available for under-privileged children with real talent.
