Welcome to the RCS Junior Conservatoire
For more than 50 years we’ve been encouraging thousands of young people to fulfil their artistic potential, develop essential life skills and explore a world of possibilities within the arts and far beyond.
Our Junior Conservatoire students are nurtured and empowered to be the best they can be in a vibrant, happy and encouraging environment where supporting young people is at the heart of everything we do. Our students access specialist training across the performing and production arts from world-class teachers and visiting artists who are leaders in their particular field.
Students study with us each week during the academic year and, as well as developing their artistic skills, they also meet other young people who share their passion for the arts, have fun and make friends for life.
Les Miserables Collaboration
Thanks to The Mackintosh Foundation, we welcomed musicians from London’s West End to work with our students on Les Misérables, during the 2026 Easter break.
Guided by members of the show’s own music team – and supported by our amazing staff and alumni – more than 100 students from Juniors Music, Juniors Stage & Screen, BA Musical Theatre and Musical Directing immersed themselves in the world of Les Misérables.
Watch some of the participants sum up this unforgettable experience in our video!
