Facilities at TMS

TMS boasts fantastic studio spaces and technical facilities, all housed across three floors of a building brought back to life with imagination and repurposed materials.

The Margate School is a highly progressive and egalitarian institution, where you immediately feel welcomed, valued and useful. It is a buzzing community of passionate and talented people and it’s an inspiring and exciting place to work.
