Above all, our classes are fun!
All Principals and teachers have undergone extensive training in Helen O'Grady curriculum and teaching methods. All are CRB checked. Principals visit classes regularly, monitoring children’s development and providing ongoing support for the teacher. Each lesson stimulates students to be fully involved and motivated.
All students attend a one hour lesson, each week of the school year. The Helen O’Grady curriculum is structured in such a way children may join classes at age five and stay until they are seventeen and never repeat a lesson!
Classes are held throughout the week in different locations

What some parents say:
"Just a quick note to say how proud we were watching Joey perform and how grateful we were to you for the good start you have been giving him in drama. We could hear every word he said and that is down to you!"
"Many thanks for enthusing our children!"
