Guildhall is an institution that knows it has to be connected to the outside world - that's the key thing. It's not a bubble. It has roots in the city and in the world.

One minute you could be playing in the Guildhall Studio Orchestra with jazz musicians, the next you could be playing in the opera pit, then the next minute you'll be with actors doing the musical and then playing a symphony in the orchestra.

I had the opportunity to play percussion with the Guildhall Studio Orchestra which gave me the chance to learn from, and play alongside, amazing senior players, as well as to perform with the incredible Liane Carroll.

At Guildhall, they don't hold your hand, but they're going to push you to become the actor that you want to be.

It's the scale of productions that really makes Guildhall stand out. It gets to the point where you think, wow, this is massive. In other places, you just wouldn't have that opportunity to learn on the job.

Equality Duty

The Equality Act 2010 introduced the Single Equality Duty for public bodies:

  • Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Act.
  • Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
  • Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.

The general equality duty covers the following protected characteristics: 

  • age (including children and young people),
  • disability, 
  • gender reassignment,
  • pregnancy and maternity, 
  • race, religion or belief, 
  • sex and sexual orientation
  • marriage and civil partnership

The specific duties of the Act require each public body to:
1. Publish information to demonstrate its compliance with the general equality duty; this information to include information relating to people who share a protected characteristic who are its employees and other people affected by its policies and practices.  

2. Publish one or more objectives that it thinks it needs to further the aims of the general equality duty. The objectives must be specific and measurable.

Published information


Members of staff of the School are employees of the City of London. Information about the City of London’s commitment to equality and diversity in the workforce can be found at the City of London’s equality and inclusion webpage, which includes the City's Equality Objectives, Equal Opportunities statement and Equality & Inclusion Performance Report. 

Read the profile of the School’s establishment staff (including Junior Guildhall and the Centre for Young Musicians) as at August 2020.

The equality profile (2019/20) of the School’s higher education students is reported to the School’s Board of Governors annually.

Equality monitoring summary information on student applications, offers and enrolments for 2018 entry and student assessment outcomes for the 2018/19 cycle can be found in the Academic Board’s annual report 2018/19 to the Board of Governors.

For previous monitoring summaries please see the Academic Board or Teaching & Learning Board report in the agenda pack for the November meeting of the Board of the Governors in the relevant year.

Following a period of staff and student consultation, the School will be reforming its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee in spring 2021, and a new Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy is expected to be published as an output of this committee.
