Our Musical Theatre classes nurture confidence and self-esteem through the exciting disciplines of acting, dancing, and singing, helping children grow into well-rounded performers.
Designed to be fun, engaging, and inspiring, these classes provide a structured yet creative environment where students develop essential performance skills, teamwork, and stage presence. Whether your child dreams of the West End or simply wants to build confidence and make new friends, our sessions offer something for everyone. Children perform in two shows annually.
Led by top industry professionals, our expert teachers bring real-world experience, ensuring students receive the highest quality training in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. Children are grouped by age (Juniors, Inters, and Seniors) and work towards a Graded Qualification each term—included in the termly fee.
Our Broadway Dance programme follows a structured syllabus created by I-PATH—a globally recognised exam board founded by our Principal, David Stinson. This world-class syllabus is delivered worldwide, ensuring students receive the highest standard of dance education.
Students are placed in age-appropriate or level-based classes to ensure the best progression. When ready, they will be entered for a Graded Exam, leading to an Ofqual-regulated qualification. From Grade 6 onwards, students earn UCAS points, making this an excellent pathway for those looking to pursue dance professionally or academically.
