EXCLUSIVE: The Guildhall School of Music & Drama, a top London drama school, had a racist culture in which multiple Black students were called the N-word and were “suppressed” by white tutors, according to an external investigation.
Guildhall, which counts Daniel Craig, Ewan McGregor, and Michaela Coel among its alumni, commissioned an independent review into discrimination experienced by students on its prestigious acting course following the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. A document was prepared for the school in 2021 and Deadline is reporting on its contents for the first time as part of our Drama Schools Uncovered series.
The 26-page report, compiled by Freshwaters Consultancy, found that graduates were “consistent and explicit” in their accounts of experiencing or witnessing racism, including “various incidents” in which the N-word was allegedly used during teaching exercises.
Salmon’s evidence, based on interviews with more than 30 alumni and Guildhall staff members, supports accounts given by Coel and Paapa Essiedu, the I May Destroy You stars who claimed that they were called the N-word by a teacher during their time studying at the school.
In a statement to Deadline, Guildhall said it had apologized to all alumni affected by the findings. The school added that Freshwaters Consultancy’s recommendations had been implemented, including anti-racism training and the launch of a more diverse curriculum.
The report, written by academic Maureen Salmon, found evidence that Black students experienced the worst forms of racism at Guildhall, but teachers also made anti-Semitic comments and were derogatory towards Asian students.
Guildhall’s culture was described by alumni as “unwelcoming” and teaching practices
