PQA Aylesbury was established in 2008 and is run by Principal Kym Eden-Fry and Vice Principal Amber Dye.
We are lucky to have excellent teaching staff and assistance with a collective tenure of nearly 100 years! However, we are still a young, dynamic and vibrant team who strive to build your child's confidence through a collection of unique lessons, performing opportunities and student collaboration.
While performing on beautiful stages such as His Majestys Theatre in London or the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre is important to us, what matters most is unleashing your child’s full potential. Whether that be building confidence, honing skills, unleashing talent or introducing friends for life, we are passionate about ensuring your child can't wait to walk through our doors every Saturday.
We are lucky to have the most amazing school to operate in. Ashmead offers plenty of space for the children in a secure location with plenty of parking.
Students aged 4-6 take part in our 90 minute Poppets class:
• Poppets: an introduction to performing arts building skills and encouraging creativity
Students aged 6-18 take part in our unique three-hour sessions, exploring:

In addition to the exciting opportunities available at PQA, we also offer children the opportunity to delve into other creative aspects of the performing arts industry. Our team of industry professionals are here to help, guide and nurture your child on whichever path they choose – Comedy and Drama, Musical Theatre or Television and Film. Whether that be performing on-stage at His Majesty's Theatre in the West End to seeing your child's latest Film & TV work on the big screen - there's something for everyone at PQA.

I am thrilled to have been the Principal of the Aylesbury Pauline Quirke Academy since 2008 and have watched the children's performance and confidence grow immensely during this time. I have always loved performing, be it dancing or acting, and it is a huge part of my life. I now have 3 children, the oldest 2 are also members at the academy and love it! I have been dancing and acting since I could walk, and I now love watching other children fulfil their ambitions.
