Al’s Drum School Named “Independent Education Provider of the Year” by Business Awards UK

We’re proud to share some exciting news hot off the press…

Al’s Drum School has just been named “Independent Education Provider of the Year” in the Business Awards UK 2025!

This recognition is a huge honour and another major milestone for our team. Following our recent success in the SME News Awards, this second award is another reminder of how far we’ve come - and a reflection of the hard work, passion, and belief that drives everything we do.

What This Award Means to Us

To be recognised as Independent Education Provider of the Year is more than just a title. It celebrates the work we’re doing not only in our Portslade studio but across the South of England - where we now proudly deliver drum tuition in 11 schools (with more joining soon) and support over 150 students every month.

We’ve always believed in the power of music education to inspire confidence, creativity, and joy. Our mission from day one has been to make drumming accessible, engaging, and tailored to each learner’s goals - and to now have that mission recognised on a national level is something we’re incredibly proud of.

A Team Effort with a Community at Its Core

This win isn’t just for us - it’s for every student who shows up with energy and enthusiasm, every parent or carer who supports their child’s musical journey, and every school that trusts us to bring rhythm and education together in a meaningful way.

We’re so grateful for the continued support from our community and inspired by what lies ahead as we keep growing, evolving, and sharing our passion for drumming with even more people.

Here’s to What’s Next

This award energises us even more to keep pushing forward: developing new teaching methods, working with more schools, and building a space where students of all ages and backgrounds can thrive behind the kit.

Thank you again for being part of this journey. Let’s keep making music together.
