What to expect:

The spring and summer terms are used to rehearse for our summer show. We will supply short reports to you every term so that you can keep up to date with your child’s progress. As we will only have two terms this year, we will be doing demonstrations at the end of the spring term and a smaller scale show at the end of the summer term. As well as all of this you can expect VIP masterclasses and fantastic opportunities including a West End Performance! We are a school focussed on nurturing confidence, inspiring creativity and promoting positive self esteem. We believe every child has the ability to......Shine!
