The latest chapter of the OAE's story began in September 2020 when we moved into Acland Burghley School in north London.

Our residency at this non-uniformed comprehensive in North London is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom.

The school isn’t just OAE’s landlord or physical home. Instead, it offers the opportunity to build on twenty years of work in the borough through our long-standing partnership with Camden Music – underpinning our core ‘enlightenment’ mission of reaching as wide an audience as possible.

Our residency at Acland Burghley was established with founding support from The Linbury Trust. The Trust continues to support our partnership, alongside The 29th May 1961 Charitable Trust, The de Laszlo Foundation, Dreamchasing Foundation, Peter Cundill Foundation, Skyrme Hart Charitable Trust and The Vernon Ellis Foundation.
