Theatre & Drama
Acting, voice, movement and stagecraft, from improvisation to full productions.
Who it's for
Children can begin training from Grade 1. Every child develops differently. Our coaches assess each learner's interests, readiness and abilities to recommend the right starting level and training pathway.
Drama games are designed so that quieter learners can build confidence at their own pace.

Questions
Who is Theatre & Drama for?
Children in partner-school programmes and academy groups. Children can begin training from Grade 1. Every child develops differently. Our coaches assess each learner's interests, readiness and abilities to recommend the right starting level and training pathway. Drama games are designed so that quieter learners can build confidence at their own pace. Adult classes are arranged on request.
How is progress measured?
Coaches assess voice, movement, characterisation and ensemble work against defined criteria. Progress is shared with families through coach feedback and term reports.
Where does it run?
At partner schools, academies and communities. Tell us where you are and we will confirm what runs near you.
Will my child perform on stage?
Performing is part of the pathway, but it builds gradually from games and small scenes to productions, so learners are ready when they get there.
