College Sponsorship £1,120,000

Since 1998, working closely with the Specialist Schools Trust, MSF has successfully sponsored 23 schools to become Performing Arts colleges. It is the major sponsor in every case and still remains the largest single schools sponsor in this sector.

MSF is delighted to have helped so many schools achieve this significant change and it maintains a constant interest in all its schools, and wherever possible is represented on the Board of Governors. All applications for MSF sponsorship must be made through the Specialist Schools Trust (Bidding Support Department 0207 802 2300) in the first instance, as initial recommendations are taken from them.
