What we do
PQA is a weekend performing arts academy providing tuition for children and young people from 4-18 years. Students spend three hours with us, rotating through hour-long sessions in comedy & drama, musical theatre and film & television. Students are split into groups according to their age and are taught by specialist teachers.
Our Mission
By working with people we believe are outstanding in their field, we aim to provide our students with a constantly evolving experience – something that is fresh, exciting and bang up-to-date. We want to instil the benefits of the performing arts into a new generation of young people, helping them to realise their potential, grow as individuals and become the people they want to be as they learn skills valuable for everyday life, not just the performing arts. And if our students have the ambition, we want to teach them the skills and give them the support to make it happen. Above all, we encourage our students to be amazing, just by being themselves.
How we do it
The PQA model has been put together by people who work professionally in the performing arts, entertainment industry and education sector. It means our classes deliver high educational value combined with realistic industry practice and our students get the best possible experience.
Your local academy is run by an experienced, dedicated professional who has proven to us they have the passion, drive and dedication to deliver a really different performing arts education. We do not charge franchise fees to own a PQA because we place most value on having the right person in charge and would rather those people used their resources to invest in the Academy, rather than pay us. All staff undergo a rigorous recruitment procedure (naturally including an enhanced CRB check) and we provide support and training enabling them to work at the top of their game so they can help your children reach the top of theirs.

Evening all, Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow! Can I just remind everyone that we would like to keep PQA a “nut free zone” as we do have some students who have severe allergies. Thank you for your support with this.xxEvening all, Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Watching all of your work for the next showcase (letters to be issued soon but keep the 13th July in the diary!) start to come together made us all very proud. Always makes my heart burst to see how much care, support and friendship you show each other. We’re very lucky as a staff team to have all of you here with us. Well done and thank you for making this a fabulous Saturday. 💕🌟
