Northern School of Contemporary Dance is a unique dance training institution offering a select group of students the opportunity to develop and excel as dance artists in a conservatoire environment. Based in Chapeltown, Leeds, NSCD offers specialist, conservatoire-level dance training in an intimate and bespoke setting. Our mission is to provide an inspirational learning experience, from first contact through into the profession, enabling aspiring dance artists, regardless of background, to shape the future of dance. We appreciate our diverse staff and student body that enriches and broadens the learning experience available here. We also recognise the importance of inclusivity in our learning environment, with staff working together to effectively support students' individual development as aware and creative dance practitioners, ready to contribute to society through their art and good citizenship.

Our secondary school in Leeds is for 11-18 year old students. Our outstanding sixth form welcomes students from our school and new students from the surrounding areas. We firmly believe in opportunity and achievement for all and are proud to provide a first class education which aims to equip all students with the confidence, competence, knowledge, skills and understanding to fit easily and actively into a rapidly changing society. We aim to ensure that all students enjoy learning and achieve their potential, not only in their studies but also in sporting, creative and practical endeavours. We encourage hard work, courtesy, good behaviour and service to our community. We provide many opportunities to develop these attributes both inside and outside of the classroom. This is a good school. Ofsted described the majority of aspects of school life as ‘outstanding’, ‘excellent’ or ‘exemplary’ (Ofsted report December 2013).
