JUNIOR THEATRE ACADEMY

FOR AGES 7-10

JUNIOR THEATRE ACADEMY

For ages 7-10

 

Building skills, building friendships, building confidence.

The Junior Theatre Academy is where young performers really start to find their feet — and have an incredible time doing it. Designed for students aged 7–10, our Junior classes strike the perfect balance between structured training and genuine fun, delivered by professional West End and TV performers who know exactly how to challenge and inspire this age group.

We believe every child learns differently and every child deserves to feel included. Our Junior classes are a fully inclusive, neurodivergent-friendly environment where students are encouraged to be exactly who they are — and discover just how much they're capable of.

Across singing, dance, and drama, your Junior performer will:

  • Grow in confidence — on stage and in everyday life

  • Develop real performing arts skills — technique that grows with them

  • Build lasting friendships — in a team environment that celebrates everyone

  • Be challenged at the right level — pushed to achieve more, always at their own pace

 

With regular performance opportunities each term, Junior students quickly learn what it feels like to step into the spotlight — and love it.

 

All abilities welcome. Every child treated as an individual.
