Introducing Our New charity CEO

As Bristol Old Vic Theatre School approaches its 80th anniversary, we are delighted to welcome Tom Beasley as our new Charity CEO, joining us at a moment full of exciting change and opportunity.

Tom brings a wealth of expertise in leadership, strategic development, and community engagement. His previous role as CEO of Active Gloucestershire, combined with extensive experience supporting cultural and arts organisations, positions him perfectly to guide the School into its next chapter.

With Tom’s expertise, we look forward to strengthening our charitable partnerships, deepening our community connections, and championing new initiatives to enrich the school and our community.

“It’s a great time to be joining Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, with its long history of training the world’s best actors. It’s a privilege to work here. I’m enjoying learning more about the school’s current work and strengths, and I’ve already learnt a lot during my first few weeks. As we approach the school’s eightieth year, it’s exciting to look to the future and the opportunities ahead.”
