What is ELAM ?

ELAM is a world-class 16-19 Academy which opened in September 2014 in one of the most deprived areas of the UK. ELAM offers young people everything that they will need to lead successful lives within the music, games design and film and television sectors – the Recognition, the Access and the Relevant skills to become, what we call, ‘Industry Ready’. To be Industry Ready is to have all of the technical and personal qualities that allow young adults to progress into the workplace, or onto university.

Reflecting our ambitions, ELAM’s Programme focuses equally on developing ‘Expertise’ and ‘Personal’ skills areas. Trainees build the broadest possible set of musical and digital skills across business, performance, design and technology. These are accompanied by core skills in Mathematics and English, as well as professional mentoring and work placements. Everything that ELAM offers is practical, relevant and plugged into the real world; a foundation for our Trainees’ futures. This is all achieved by working closely with key organisations that share our Vision and Values, and our aspirations for the Trainees.

Underpinning the development of our Trainees, and the practice of our staff are ELAM’s Values of Collaboration, Excellence, Innovation, Integrity and Drive. These Values align ELAM with our partner industries and are embedded at every level of the school as a signpost of the behaviours and characteristics that we strive for.

Why do we exist ?

The rationale behind establishing ELAM was two-fold:

  • To address the abundant supply of young creative talent across East London which is often not realised

  • To address a growing demand within the UKs creative sector for talent

In Britain today, children from low-income backgrounds are significantly less likely to achieve highly at school, progress to university or take up fulfilling employment.

For the many creatively gifted young people within this group, opportunities to pursue a creative talent have become highly restricted. In general, creative education fails to develop meaningful opportunities within the sector for talent from low-income backgrounds - a sector in which networks, facilities, and additional expertise contribute so heavily to entry.

In a recent study, 60% of music chart acts had been educated at a private school compared with 1% at the same point twenty years previously. With only 7% of our children attending private schools this is a concerning statistic; unfair for many talented young people from low-income backgrounds and evidence of a clear wastage of talent and lack of diversity within the music industry.

It has been shown however that when real collaboration occurs between professionals from within both the creative and education sectors, opportunities can exist for young people of all backgrounds to realise musical potential and successfully pursue careers within the creative industries.

Many of the young people growing up in Tower Hamlets and its neighbouring boroughs of Islington, Hackney, Newham, Lewisham, Southwark, City of London (“Target Boroughs”) grow up at a socio-economic disadvantage. Of 2011’s Key Stage 4 leavers, 40% of children claimed Free Academy Meals, with Islington experiencing the second highest rate of child poverty in the capital, and Tower Hamlets the highest in the UK.

The UK creative sector is employing at double the rate of the economy as a whole and by 2018 will employ more people than our financial sector. It directly employs 675,000 people itself and around 1.5 million further in creative roles across all sectors and has been highlighted by the Prime Minister as an important growth area in rebalancing the economy.

Our growing music and creative sector is seeking youth, diversity, innovation and enterprise. This is an opportunity waiting for the communities of East London where music is a cornerstone of youth culture. East London has become internationally synonymous with modern British music through successful recording artists including Plan B (Forest Gate), Dizzee Rascal (Bow), Professor Green (Hackney) and Tinie Tempah (Plumstead). In their footsteps is a generation that feel passionate about the movement; connected to a thriving music scene and looking for opportunities to become a part of its future.

ELAM will equip its Trainees with the right expertise and the right personal qualities to move into excellent destinations with the creative sector. At the same time we will work with these industries to increase the access routes into these positions across the sector.

What do we focus on day to day ? (Strategic Objectives)

We have three strategic objectives (Access, Recognition and Skills) which link to the outcomes we believe will provide Trainees with the opportunity to achieve our mission and vision.

2. Access

In order to achieve our vision, ELAM Trainees, Industry experts and employers engage frequently and meaningfully.
