“Redroofs is not just a school. It's a way of life!”



Established in London in 1947, Redroofs Theatre School moved to Littlewick Green, Maidenhead, in 1964 under the directorship of June Rose, Founder and Principal.  The house, previously the country home of the late Ivor Novello, had been the rendezvous for most of the greatest screen and theatrical artists of the era, and the inspiration for much of Novello's music.

Redroofs comprises: Day School, 2 year College Department (16+ years), a Post Graduate Department and a once a week school, and a thriving Agency open to all our pupils.

Our Day School is housed at 26 Bath Road Maidenhead where our facilities include a state of the art dance studio, multi purpose dance and drama spaces and classrooms.

We have two school theatres, one a beautiful 160 seater proscenium theatre with extensive facilities at Sunninghill, near Ascot, and the second an intimate 42-seater at Littlewick Green. Both are, of course, used extensively by our pupils and students. For our older students (16+) we also use additional hired studio space at Four Marlow Road. Our post graduate students are based at Littlewick Green.

The School prides itself on its ability to bring out the best in its pupils, and whether you are looking at Redroofs as a professional training ground or a once-a-week activity, Redroofs is a school where pupils are valued, where real confidence is borne and  harnessed, and where ambitions are recognised and encouraged.

Whilst careers in acting and, indeed, all areas of the performing arts are notoriously difficult to sustain, the School, with its own professional theatre and agency, offers a realistic way into the industry, encouraging a strong work ethic, adaptability and self-reliance.  Our student course is unique amongst drama schools in both considering students from 16 years and also in encouraging its students to gain professional credits whilst training.

Our "extended family" of ex-pupils working in the industry today include theatre producers; fully qualified dance teachers; directors; AD's; scenic artists; published writers; literary and theatrical agents; stage managers and educationalists; as well as many working actors, singers and dancers including household names, numerous BAFTA and Oscar nominees... and winners!
