The Barbara Speake Stage School was opened on 10 February 1945 and remains one of the longest established stage schools in the world. It is an independent school, and was initially set up as a dancing school, by the present principal Miss Barbara Speake, MBE,〔()〕 and located in East Acton, London. The school is fee-paying but non-selective in its admissions. In 1961, June Collins (mother of musician Phil Collins) joined forces with Barbara Speake to become the school's agent. Collins supplied the entertainment industry with children for every major production in the West End, TV and Theatre. Due to the success of both the agency and dancing school in 1963 the decision was made to turn their successes in to a full-time educational establishment for the performing arts. Collins discovered Jack Wild playing football and decided that he was a child with potential, and persuaded his family to let him attend the full-time school. Wild went on to receive an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of "the Artful dodger" in "Oliver".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wichita Eagle: Search Results )〕 Over the years, Collins had an eye for talent, and with Speake, the school has helped to develop some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, including Phil Collins, child actor, drummer and lead singer of Genesis and solo artist,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Barbara Speake Stage School & Agency )〕 child actor and television presenter Keith Chegwin, actor, singer and presenter Brian Conley,〔 Naomi Campbell, super model,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Naomi Campbell )〕 David Parfitt, film producer,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=David Parfitt )〕 actress and singer Michelle Gayle,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michelle Gayle )〕 Mark Summers, casting director,〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/movelikemichaeljackson/about/marksummers.shtml〕 and actor and playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kwame Kwei-Armah )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Queen's birthday honours list 2012: OBE )〕 One of its founders, Barbara Speake, went on to receive an MBE from Queen Elizabeth II in the New Years Honours list of 2007, for her services to the arts.
