Report – A Class Act – The Sutton Trust – November 2024

At a time of change in the sector, as well as in the wider political landscape, this report is the first by the Sutton Trust to look in detail at access to the creative industries. It includes new analysis of Labour Force Survey (LFS) and Higher Education Statistical Agency (HESA) data from academics Professor David O’Brien, Dr Orian Brook and Dr Mark Taylor on social mobility within creative higher education courses, alongside work carried out by researchers at the Sutton Trust, looking at the educational backgrounds of elite and ‘high-profile’ figures in television, film and music.
