Empowering and Creative Classes.

PQA Northampton is dedicated to helping explore the exciting world of performing arts. Our classes in drama, musical theatre, and film are crafted to nurture creativity and growth within a safe and welcoming environment. Here, young people find a supportive community where they can express themselves freely and build lasting friendships.

Principal Alistair has been a part of PQA since 2013, starting as a Comedy & Drama teacher and opening PQA Windsor in 2015. By 2017, he joined the team at PQA HQ, supporting academies nationwide. His deep understanding of the impact PQA has on students’ lives shines through in his leadership.

Our students have many opportunities to showcase their work through performances and projects, gaining hands-on experience in the industry. Guided by dedicated professionals, your young person will learn valuable life skills like confidence, teamwork, and creativity.
