ArtsEd: Top London Drama School Settles Legal Battle With Teacher Who Blew Whistle On “Culture Of Fear” Chronicled In Deadline Investigation
ArtsEd, the drama school backed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, settles legal dispute with teacher Matthew Bulmer, who blew whistle on a "culture of fear."
In a statement quietly published on its website, ArtsEd’s board said it regretted the “distress and disruption” caused to Matthew Bulmer, who was fired after raising concerns about the leadership of former principal Julie Spencer. Bulmer was appointed as the head of ArtsEd’s Day School and Sixth Form (DSSF) in January 2022 but was let go in August last year, resulting in him taking the institution to an employment tribunal. It is our hope that this statement makes clear the contribution Matthew has made to our institution and that it enables him to move on from this challenging period to achieve the leadership successes he deserves.”
