Heatherleys School of Fine Art, Chelsea (London)

I just finished an animation degree from University of Westminster. I am starting a continuing studies course at Heatherleys School of Fine Art.

have any of the members been to the school? What you think about the school? How is the reputation of the school in the art community?

I would be very grateful if you could help me with my queries.

i did a week-long life drawing course there last summer and it was fantastic. It's not that well known since you don't get a degree, just a diploma (not that i believe that's a reason to avoid it). The best thing you can do is go to a show of student work. Reputation of the school doesn't matter, generally speaking, it's what you can do at the end of it that speaks much more loudly.
I know a number of people who do or have studied there and all have really loved it. One thing, i have a feeling it's not particularly intense, like you're not pushed too hard so you have to push yourself as they're a little bit too "nice" sometimes if you know what i mean. i could be wrong, just my experience.
