They all really enjoy the classes and I love the personal touch the staff give. The JK staff are always happy to report back how the class went and make you as parents feel very much included. I always look forward to the end of term show."

Summer Workshops this August!

"Encouraging creativity & communication in young people"

Every year, Summer workshops are held in August during the school Summer holidays. At the end of every workshop, participants put on an entertaining musical show for parents and friends which showcase the drama, dance and singing learnt during the workshop week.

This is a great opportunity to not only learn new performance skills but to make new friends and have a fantastic time in a nurturing, engaging and fun packed environment. Workshops are open to all and no prior experience is necessary although an enthusiasm to explore drama, dance and singing within a creative team is a must!

Places are always in demand so please book early to avoid disappointment. To book and for further information please contact the school director Kim on 07504 059640 or email info@jktheatrearts.com
