The school trains pupils to Act, Sing, Dance and Perform through carefully structured, professional classes. We also offer workshops in additional subjects such as recording, microphone technique, stage makeup, directing, costume & set design which enables our pupils to learn the various techniques and disciplines required for a career in the Performing Arts industry.We hope that through these regular classes, workshops, activities, games and performances our pupils will gain confidence and learn new skills which they will be able to use throughout their lives.
