ArtsEd: Principal At Andrew Lloyd Webber-Backed Drama School Resigns After Bullying Investigation
ArtsEd, the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Backed drama school, has published barrister-led review into bullying and misconduct claims uncovered by Deadline.
Julie Spencer, the principal at Andrew Lloyd Webber-backed drama school ArtsEd, has resigned citing health reasons after an independent investigation concluded that she presided over an “unhealthy environment” and brought the institution into disrepute. It disputed any suggestion that the school had a “toxic” environment and said the claims were of a historical nature, arguing that they related to matters dealt with in a previous barrister-led review by Rebecca Tuck KC in 2021. Deadline’s reporting on ArtsEd formed part of a Drama Schools Uncovered series, which revealed that revered acting institutions are breeding grounds for sexual misconduct, racism, and bullying.
