FAQS

Can I book a trial anytime during the term?

We are happy to welcome new faces throughout the majority of the year. The only time we would advise waiting a few weeks to book your trial is if we are just about to perform a show, otherwise we will always make it possible for you to come along for a taster. Students are welcome to enrol onto our classes at any stage throughout each term - fees will be calculated on a pro-rata basis from the students start date.

I am not intersted in performing as a career, will your classes still suit me?

Absolutely! The biggest benefit of performing arts classes is the confidence they give you to be yourself. Our classes give you the skills you need to be your best self in all areas of life, and prepare you for whatever path you choose. If you ARE interested in a performing arts career we have specific classes that will prepare you for that, otherwise our ethos is to just have fun and feel confident!

do you offer sibling discount?

Yes -  our sibling discount ranges from 20-50% depending on which classes you are booking.

 

how many students will be in my class?

Our class sizes vary, but we try to keep numbers below 15 so we are offering our students as much contact time as possible.

how many shows will I perform in each year?

Each Academy produces two performances per year; usually a showcase in the Summer Term and a cabaret in the Autumn Term. We use the Spring Term to focus on new skills and let our hair down in between the two performance terms. Even when we are in a performance term we keep our classes relaxed and fun, and no student is ever asked to participate in any performances if they do not feel comfortable doing so.

Student Consent Forms

At West End Theatre Academy, the safety, wellbeing and individual needs of every student are extremely important to us.

To help us provide a safe, supportive and appropriate environment for all students, we require a completed

Student Consent & Information Form before a student enrols onto our classes.

Parents and legal guardians are responsible for ensuring that the information provided is accurate and kept up to date, particularly where there are changes to medical, welfare, emergency contact or other relevant information.

If any information changes during a student’s time with us, the form can be updated at any time by re-completing and submitting a new form. The most recently submitted form will replace the previous information held on record.
