At PQA Preston, we’re based at Penwortham Priory Academy and offer a range of immersive weekend performing arts classes. Alongside singing, acting, and comedy & drama, we also have loads of fun with TV and filmmaking projects for kids and young adults.

Creative and Fun Performing Arts for Children.

At PQA Preston, our wish is for each of our students to feel a valued member of our academy as they journey through the world of performing arts. We do this by creating a friendly and inclusive space for them, in which they are encouraged to make friends, try something new and pick up some important life skills along the way. 

We offer a range of unique classes in which our supportive teachers encourage students to take on a variety of activities under their expert direction and tuition. By offering a full range of projects in drama, theatre and film, your child will find out what they like best, whether it’s being on stage or behind the camera. Without even realising, they will be learning key skills in team building and problem-solving! 

PQA Preston is located in Penwortham Priory Academy, which is fully equipped with everything we need for our weekly classes, including a dance and drama studio with sound and lighting, a projector and stage curtains. There is also full disabled access and on-site parking.

To see if it’s a good fit for you and them, we offer all children a free session. Simply select your preferred time and book today to learn more about how the performing arts can enhance your child’s life.

I have worked for PQA for the last 8 years initially I started my PQA journey as a Film and TV teacher. I very quickly fell in love with making wild films on my weekends, and helping to tell our students hilarious stories through the art of cinema. I found teaching young people about film, camera, storytelling and working as a team to create something was incredible. Seeing the students grow in confidence and see their ideas on the big cinemas screen was something I loved!
