Welcome to PQA Leicester!

We are a fun and welcoming performing arts school based at The City of Leicester College. Every Saturday our students join us for exciting, hands-on classes in Musical Theatre, Comedy & Drama and Film & TV.

Confidence Boosting Classes for Teens and Kids.

As proud Principal of PQA Leicester, it’s my aim that children and teens leave our filmmaking and drama school each week, with a massive smile on their face, and bursting with tales from their classes!

We have so many theatre, filmmaking and acting opportunities for young people: as well as our amazing weekly classes, we have regular masterclasses with industry professionals, the chance to perform an original show on a West End stage, cinema screenings of students’ work, and so much more.

Whether you're looking for acting classes for kids or self-esteem building activities for teens, you’ve come to the right place. We’re excited to welcome you to the Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts in Leicester!
