A soap star will officially open a new performing arts school for children in Kingsbury next month.

Kellie Bright, who plays Linda Carter in Eastenders, will be the guest of honour at the launch of 360 Arts which is based in St Robert Southwell Primary School, Slough Lane.

360 Arts currently has a popular sister branch in Barnet, and is aiming to repeat its success when it opens its doors on April 18.

The school, which encourages creative children to express themselves and shy children to blossom, will be hosting a free day for children aged from six to 11 this Saturday (21) from 10am – 4pm.

Booking is essential and can be done by emailing 360arts@outlook.com.
