Welcome from the Principal
I’m delighted to introduce and welcome you to BOA Stage & Screen Production, an exciting new academy which seeks to prepare students for a career in the world of film, TV and theatre.
Welcome to BOA Stage and Screen Production Academy – a place where creativity meets skill, and passion is transformed into professional potential.
At BOA Stage and Screen, we believe that for every moment of magic seen on stage or screen, there is a team of skilled professionals behind the scenes bringing it to life. From set and costume design to lighting, camera work, and production management – the opportunities in the creative industries are vast, dynamic, and growing rapidly. And yet, too often, employers struggle to find the talent they need. That’s where we come in.
Situated in the heart of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter, our academy offers an industry-led curriculum for 16-19-year-olds passionate about working behind the scenes in film, TV, theatre, online and live event production. Our unique approach combines rigorous vocational training with real-world experience, delivered by expert teachers and seasoned professionals from across the creative sector.
Our students don’t just learn in classrooms – they work on live briefs, engage with employers, collaborate with artists and technicians, and build a portfolio of experiences that prepare them for further education, employment, or entrepreneurship in the creative and digital economy.
As part of the wider BOA Group – and in partnership with organisations like Birmingham City University and the Ormiston Trust – we’re proud to be shaping the next generation of makers, doers, and innovators. Our mission is simple: to equip students with the skills, confidence, and connections to thrive in an industry that values creativity, technical excellence, and collaboration.
Whether you're a prospective student, parent, or industry partner, I invite you to explore what makes BOA Stage and Screen truly exceptional. Here, we don’t just imagine the future – we build it, one production at a time.
We look forward to welcoming you.
