What matters at Chets is talent not background or ability to pay - 90% of students receive up to full funding through the Department for Children Schools and Families (DCSF). This is made possible by the government's Music & Dance Scheme, designed to enable young, talented musicians and dancers to receive full time education and training at a specialist school irrespective of parents' financial means.
More information can be found on the Financial Assistance page.
