Tring Park School for the Performing Arts is an independent co-educational school specializing in dance. Originally known as the Arts Educational School, Tring Park, it was founded as the sister school of the Arts Educational School, London. In 2009 it became independent of the London school and was renamed Tring Park School for the Performing Arts.
Tring Park School for the Performing Arts is an independent, co-educational boarding and day school for pupils aged 7–19 years. It comprises a preparatory school, secondary school, sixth form and further education at a professional level. It is a specialist provider of vocational training in the performing arts, with a syllabus that includes Dance, Drama, Music, Musical Theatre and Theatre Arts. Vocational studies are supported by a full academic syllabus from Key Stage 2 to A-level standard. As one of the leading schools for the performing arts in the United Kingdom, it is one of only twenty-one schools selected to allocate Government funded Dance and Drama Awards, a scholarship scheme established to subsidise the cost of professional dance and drama training for the most talented pupils at leading institutions. The school also offers a community outreach programme known as Reach4Dance and has a part-time pre-vocational dance and performing arts school known as the Junior Conservatoire programme.
The school was first founded in 1939 and was originally known as the Cone-Ripman School. It was formed as a result of a merger between the Cone School of Dancing founded in 1919 by Grace Cone, and the Ripman School founded in 1922 by Olive Ripman.
