Ellise Shafer The BRIT School, a free performing and creative arts school in South London that has spawned the likes of Adele, Amy Winehouse, Tom Holland, Jessie J and Raye, has earned an outstanding rating from the government agency Ofsted.

This comes at a time when the school is in urgent need of funding to continue to provide world class training to the U.K.’s young creatives.

After a November inspection, the BRIT School was determined to be “outstanding” in all five categories, including quality of education, behavior and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and sixth-form provision. “Pupils love to learn here,” Ofsted said in a statement. “From the moment they begin at BRIT, pupils respond positively to the school’s very high academic and behavioral expectations.

The school helps pupils to learn together and to develop leadership skills. These qualities are role modeled by students in the sixth form, who exhibit responsibility, teamwork and empathy.
