Millennium Performing Arts

Around 5 -10 years ago Millennium had a poor reputation. They had a couple of bad OFSTED reports for their Level 6 diploma provision and as a result lost the funding for that course. They also failed to satisfy one of the requirements for their degree accreditation and lost that (This was around 2019 ish).
They have since got degree accreditation from another university. I havn't really heard much about them since so I don't know their current standards/reputation.

My DD is currently a 2nd year at Millennium. It is a small college but has an excellent faculty and very comprehensive training. I was worried about the previous OFSTED/funding issues but they are now fully accredited by the University of Worcester. The website was appalling but is being revamped.
Don't expect the big flash studios that some schools offer but the quality of the teachers more than make up for it and being in central London is a real plus.
Their alumni are everywhere in the industry. Moulin Rouge, Hercules, Chorus Line to name just a few. They have amazing contacts throughout the industry and offer an intimate college where they know your name.
This was my DD 1st choice after auditioning at some of the larger colleges as she preferred the more personal feeling of the college. She is a singer who can dance and appreciates the mixture of training she receives. It is hard work and long hours but she loves it.
Good luck on your Musical Theatre training journey.

Thank you. This is reassuring. We have since heard that the teaching is excellent (from someone currently working in the industry) so it is good to see that this has been your DD’s experience too.
Initially my DC was looking at larger schools but it seems that there are many benefits to a smaller school. Millennium is now DC’s first choice.

Hiya
How did you get on with your daughter’s application? I hope everything went well for you.

All went very well thank you and DC was really pleased to get a conditional offer and has made Millennium their firm.
DC’s happy so I’m happy!

I'm struggling to find any info about this Millennium Uni. What is the audition process like? I am a singer/actor, I can dance but it's not my strongest feature. Is this somewhere I should consider applying to for 26 entry? How many dance classes do they offer a week? I'm looking for a school that doesn't do too many classes but enough that I can improve. Any advice, reviews etc would be much appreciated! Thank you

Hi, my daughter is currently at Millenium and loves it. She wasn’t a dancer mainly singing and acting, but she has really embraced the dancing and has come on a long way, with loads of support. It’s small and personal, we went to watch a show at the weekend and all the staff really knew my daughter. She gets to work with people in the industry, so lots of different teaching. She auditioned at all the big drama schools, but I really feel she made the right decision. So far we are super impressed. They have acquired new premises now which look fantastic.

Hi… do you mind me asking about accommodation for the school? I guess it’s private rentals but is there a specific area the students favour please? Thank you

Hi, most apply for uni accommodation at Wembley Park. So Unite, IQ, fenders etc. My daughter has been really happy living there and they tend to travel in, in groups. If you are going there next year I’m sure they would be able to answer any questions you have. Let me know. H x

Thank you so much for this info; my daughter has her recall (day in the school) on 28th so she’s excited for that 🤞🤞🤞- I’ll let you know x

Hope it all goes well. It really is a lovely school. Let me know, if she decides to go or has any questions I can get my daughter to contact her. Xx
