We are working to build a more valuable, diverse and sustainable creative industry.

ELAM was founded in 2014, followed by London Screen Academy in 2019. Day One Trust launched to bring these two pioneering schools together, and since then they've both achieved remarkable success with students consistently going on to pursue outstanding careers.

We're expanding our impact through the Creative Educators network, developing innovative programs and partnerships with schools nationwide. Together, we've proven that creative vocational education can be done exceptionally well and make a transformative difference to the lives of young people.
