Discover a whole world of performing arts at PQA Chislehurst & Sidcup, where we welcome young people from the Chislehurst, Sidcup, Bexley, Bexleyheath, Welling and Eltham postcodes. Held at Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School on Saturdays, kids aged 6-18 dive into our creative classes in drama, acting, filmmaking and musical theatre (singing and dancing).
At PQA Chislehurst & Sidcup, our mission goes beyond teaching technical skills in performing arts; we’re dedicated to helping young people discover their true selves and build enduring self-belief.
We believe each child’s journey is unique, and we are passionate about supporting them every step of the way. Our academy is led by a team of working actors and directors whose professional credits span Hollywood feature films and the West End stage, offering students hands-on experience and real-world insight into the performing arts industry.
Through projects ranging from cinema screenings to performances in the West End, we give each student the opportunity to shine and become the best performer and individual they can be. Whether they're aiming for the stage, screen, or simply growing in confidence, every class is designed to nurture creativity, foster growth, and build skills that will serve our students for life. At
PQA Chislehurst & Sidcup, we’re not only creating talented performers—we’re helping to shape confident, resilient young people who believe in themselves.
