The Performing Arts Company has been created to provide Drama and Creative Arts to school aged children. Our aim is to try and make the arts more available and accessible to all school children. We at The Performing Arts Company believe that drama isn't just about 'acting' but also provides an outlet for self-expression, it develops imagination and artistic awareness, it increases social and mental freedom, fluency of speech, self-respect, self-confidence and above all it's FUN!
 

Drama gives children the opportunity to learn how to co-operate with others, aids orderly thinking and the ability to organise. The benefits do not only accrue through children participating actively in dramatic activity, they also learn through observing others.
 

The Performing Arts Company will provide what we hope you will see as the perfect balance of education, play and stimulation. We run to a carefully planned curriculum paying equal attention to ALL our students needs. We are committed to a 2 way communication process with our parents to ensure that we have total understanding and support.
