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:

• Comedy & Drama: devising, improvisation, and script work

• Film & Television: screenwriting, storyboarding, filming, and acting for camera

• Musical Theatre: singing, dancing, and acting for stage.

All our staff have an enhanced DBS, first aid, child protection and online safety training. You're definitely in safe hands with us allowing your child to be their amazing selves!

Principal
Kym Eden-Fry

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.
