Fun, Creative Performing Arts Classes.

We strongly believe in giving every child the opportunity to explore their creative side and have fun. We’ve created a unique place where they can learn new skills and feel safe and supported, all whilst exploring the performing arts. 

Our project-based learning approach offers a whole host of exciting opportunities, with plenty of ways to showcase their new-found skills and amazing work. We encourage them to dive deeper into all aspects of the industry, not only on stage, but behind the scenes as well.

Our teachers and industry professionals guide and inspire them to discover what they’re passionate about. Whichever path they go on to choose, whether it's drama, musical theatre, film or something else entirely, we truly believe that the skills your child gains at PQA – in confidence, creativity, problem-solving and teamwork – will help them to achieve whatever they wish for.

Our fantastic venue offers drama and dance studios, plus a 200-seater theatre for rehearsals and shows.
