SLP College is an independent, co-educational performing arts college based in Garforth near Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. In 1974, Sandra A. Reid founded "Sandra A Reid, School of Ballet and Theatre Dance" It initially offered classes for young children and was held in a small Church Hall before Miss Reid purchased the first Studio La Pointe premises in around 1983.'Studios La Pointe', was the predecessor of today's SLP College. Initially, it was a part-time dance school teaching children of pre-vocational age. In 1991, the studios moved to a former chapel closer to the centre of Garforth, and a full-time performing arts course was established, which become known as SLP College. The college is now recognised as one of the leading performing arts schools in the United Kingdom. It is accredited to the Council for Dance Education and Training, and is one of the 21 specialist performing arts schools selected to allocate government funded Dance and Drama Awards. The college is based in a converted chapel, which has been extended twice in 2005 and in 2008 and houses state of the art facilities.
