Building update Our permanent building in Oxford Road, SW15 is currently being refurbished to provide an additional studio, a larger digital studio, and a lift to all floors of the building. The work will be completed by October 2009, which means that the school will continue to operate at its temporary site at 38 West Hill until the October half term, and will then move back to Oxford Road opening there on Monday November 9th 2009.
