🌭☀️ **The perfect way to end another fantastic year at PQA Croydon!** 💙

After an amazing final Academy day, our team came together for a well-earned BBQ and team-building afternoon at Principal Natalie's house. It was the perfect opportunity to relax, laugh, enjoy great food and celebrate everything we've achieved together this year.

Of course, there were a few discoveries along the way... 😂

🤓 We discovered that **Oliver (Film & TV)** has a habit of taking off his (many) glasses whenever the pressure's on... (see the photo! 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣)

💪🏽 And we also learned that **Rebecca** is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to assembling flat-pack furniture. If there's ever a speed-building championship, we know who we're entering!

The afternoon was also bittersweet as we said a heartfelt goodbye to **Athena**. Thank you for everything you've brought to PQA Croydon. You've been a valued part of our academy, and we wish you every success and happiness in your next adventure. You'll always be part of the PQA Croydon family. 💙

To our incredible team of 2025-2026 —thank you for another year of hard work, laughter, resilience and unwavering dedication to our students. Here's to an even bigger and brighter year ahead! ✨

🌟 **Celebrating Dedication, Commitment and Growth!** 🌟

One of the most rewarding parts of being at PQA Croydon is watching our students grow year after year, developing not only as performers but as confident, kind and resilient young people.

This term, we were delighted to present our **Tenure Awards** to three incredible students in recognition of their commitment to our academy:

🏅 **Kyla** – **2 Years** of being part of the PQA Croydon family
🏅 **Sorieya** – **3 Years** of dedication and hard work
🏅 **Anna** – **4 Years** of commitment, passion and growth

Each of you has contributed so much to our academy, and it has been a privilege to watch your confidence, skills and friendships flourish over the years. Your enthusiasm, perseverance and love for performing arts inspire those around you, and we couldn't be prouder.

Congratulations on reaching these fantastic milestones! Here's to many more years of making memories, taking on new challenges and shining on stage and screen. 💙✨

Please join us in congratulating **Kyla, Sorieya and Anna** on their amazing achievements! 👏🎉

💙 **Creating memories, building confidence, and having fun together!** 💙

Our **Bring a Parent to Academy Day** was such a special experience, giving our PQA Croydon families the chance to step into the studio and see exactly what our students enjoy every Saturday.

From acting and dancing to teamwork, games and creative challenges, it was wonderful to see parents and children learning, laughing and supporting one another side by side. ❤️

At PQA Croydon, we don't just teach performing arts – we build confidence, friendships, resilience and lifelong memories. Seeing our families actively taking part reminded us just how important it is to celebrate these moments together.

A huge thank you to every parent, grandparent and family member who joined us. You embraced every challenge with enthusiasm, and we loved having you as part of the PQA family for the day! ✨

We hope you had as much fun as we did!

What an amazing day at our **Bring a Parent to Academy Day!** 💙✨

The best part? This routine was taught and learned in **just ONE session!** 🤩

Watching our parents throw themselves into the challenge with such enthusiasm, laughter and commitment was incredible. It gave them a real taste of what our students achieve every week through teamwork, confidence, creativity and plenty of fun!

We're so proud of everyone who took part – children and grown-ups alike. Thank you to all our families for making it such a memorable day. 💃🕺

Who do you think nailed the choreography? 👀👇

The PQA Croydon Performance Troupe’s dedication is absolutely inspiring. Balancing exciting preparations for the His Majesty's Theatre with voluntary community performances at local fairs truly reflects the courage, effort, and support that Pauline Quirke Academy, Croydon is all about.

The students' hard work and 90s-themed performances have been a massive hit! This level of commitment builds exactly the kind of resilience and self-belief the academy strives to foster. It is brilliant to see the troupe going the extra mile to showcase their talents across the community while gearing up for the bright lights of the West End. BRAVO to all the students and the dedicated teaching team led by Principal Natalie!

With plenty of space to truly showcase their routines, they gave it their all—and what a performance it was! Athena and I were so incredibly proud. Every single performer absolutely smashed it and wowed the crowd on the day.

We had so many lovely comments from parents and visitors, especially about our fantastic **'90s-themed performance**, with so many people telling us how much they enjoyed it.

A massive congratulations to these phenomenal young performers. Your hard work, dedication, and talent shone through, and you should all be so proud of yourselves. We can't wait to see what you achieve next! 💙⭐
