Classes run in line with local school terms, typically around 12-week per term. Fees are paid per term, and children are welcome to join during any term.

Lower Primary

Parents love our Lower Primary classes

Our sessions blend imaginative, purposeful drama activities with structured skill-building, from vocal expression and teamwork to self-confidence and early stage presence.

Core Skills

Children build clearer speech, expressive storytelling, and growing independence as they begin to shape ideas and share them confidently.

Classroom Experience

In every class, we explore voice, movement, and character through storytelling games, drama activities, and group collaboration.

Confidence in Action

Parent’s notice their children speaking up more, joining in scenes with peers, and proudly sharing their ideas in front of others.

The Learning Journey

It all starts with children finding their voice, using drama to explore emotions, build confidence, and connect with others. Each term builds on the last, developing vocal clarity, creative teamwork, and early stage confidence. At the end of each term, families are invited to see what their child has been working on in a showcase.

Here’s what the journey looks like, from autumn to summer.

Autumn Term

Children begin exploring speech, movement, and storytelling in a safe, structured space that encourages self-expression and participation.
