Anna Fiorentini Theatre & Film School is a part-time stage school, based in London. The school's founder and Principal is Anna Fiorentini.
The school was established in 2001 as a Prince's Trust Business. Since then, it has won three Business of London Awards and has a growing reputation within the performing arts industry.
Students aged 7 to 18 follow a time-table of Drama, Film, Singing, Dance & Musical Theatre. These classes are taught by leading professionals, and the school currently has a branch in Camden, Greenwich, Hackney and Docklands. The school also offers Fiorentini Weenies classes for students aged 4–6 years old.
Every year the school puts on a Variety Performance at the Hackney Empire. All students have the opportunity to take part in this show. Students are also encouraged to take part in competitions such as Fiorentini's Got Talent and Destination Dance.[1]
To support children from low-income families that may struggle with fees, the school set up the Fiorentini Foundation to help provide bursaries and scholarships. In 2014, Anna Fiorentini set up Stage & the City, an adult performing arts school, to raise money for the Fiorentini Foundation. All profits from Stage & the City go directly to the charity.[2]
