What it’s like
A weekly theatre school where 7 to 17 year olds train in acting, dance and singing, building towards real performances.
This isn't a one-off workshop, it's a proper term-time commitment. Saturdays are split into two sessions, morning and afternoon, and your child picks one three-hour slot to attend across the whole twelve weeks. In that time they're doing acting, dance and singing classes, plus work on auditions and building towards actual performance opportunities, so it's aimed at kids who want to take it seriously rather than just try it once.
£360 for the term works out at £30 a session, which they'll take termly and you can spread with Klarna if that helps. If you've got two kids doing it, the second one gets 50% off, which softens the blow a bit. It's not pocket change for a Saturday class, but three hours of proper tuition a week for twelve weeks is a decent chunk of training.
Given the age range runs 7 to 17, you're looking at anything from a nervous first-timer to a teenager who's serious about performing arts as a next step. The two session times mean you're not locked into one age group either, worth asking which slot suits your child's stage best.
The office keeps fairly standard term-time hours if you need to ring and sort out the details, Tuesday to Thursday during the day and a shorter Friday. Worth getting your query in before the weekend session if you can, since that's clearly when everyone's actually there doing the classes.

What ages is this for?
Classes run for ages 7 to 17, with two separate Saturday sessions so you're not squeezing a seven-year-old and a seventeen-year-old into the same room.
What do the kids actually do?
Acting, dance and singing classes, along with audition prep and chances to perform. It's proper training rather than a drop-in session.
