Upper Primary
9 to 11 years
Our Upper Primary is ready for more challenges, and we’re ready to meet them there! Our Upper Primary programme encourages children to take ownership of their voice, creativity, and their role in a team. It’s where confidence moves from developing to thriving. Our classes run in line with local school terms, typically over 12 weeks. Fees are paid per term, and students are welcome to join at any point in the year.
Want to see if it’s the right fit?
Try our two-week trial for £20 per student. If your child joins for the full term, we’ll deduct the trial fee from your total cost.

Their Learning Journey
It all starts with supporting students as they grow to be expressive, confident performers, developing vocal clarity. By exploring communication styles and stepping into different personas.
We begin in the autumn term and develop key skills across the year, including character development, and collaborative performance. At the end of the summer term, students showcase their progress in a final performance for family and friends.
Here’s what the journey looks like, from autumn to summer.

What they say
Parent – North London
“In school assemblies and plays, my son, was usually relegated to the background. He was bright but lacked the confidence to speak up and be heard. Since being at the academy, he has bloomed and consequently had major parts in each successive school assembly. Thank you so much for instilling in my son the confidence to let his voice be heard and his presence be felt.”
