KIC Academy

KIC Academy gives young people hands‑on experience in media, music and digital production, delivered from our KIC Studios in Pelsall.

Our programmes support young people across the Midlands by developing confidence, communication, teamwork and digital skills - all through real creative projects. The programme provides personalised, flexible creative experiences that meet the needs of a wide range of learners, including SEND and those who benefit from practical, hands‑on environments.
