SWAP SCREEN TIME FOR STAGE TIME 📱➡️🎭
There has been a lot of discussion this week about children, young people and the amount of time they spend online.
Sometimes the simplest alternative is giving them something in the real world that they genuinely look forward to.
At Stagecoach Medway, Saturday mornings are about singing, dancing and acting — but they’re also about talking, laughing, making friends, working as a team and having the confidence to stand up and have a go.
💛 Real friendships. Real conversations. Real confidence.
Perhaps it’s time to swap a little Screen Time for Stage Time.

🎭 She joined Stagecoach Medway as a little girl. She stayed for 15 years. Look where that journey took her... ❤️
From Early Stages to Main School and Further Stages, Ellie quite literally grew up with Stagecoach Medway.
Along the way came wonderful friendships, LAMDA Distinctions, Disneyland Paris, West End performance opportunities and countless memories that will last a lifetime.
Swipe through the photographs and you can see that journey unfold. From a little girl taking her first steps in performing arts to the confident young woman she is today. 🧡
Today, Ellie has graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and is beginning an exciting new chapter as Ruma, having recently released her first two songs, Pigeon and Angelina. 🎶
We couldn't be prouder to have been part of her journey.
Not every Stagecoach student will choose a career on stage, nor do we expect them to.
It's about giving young people the confidence and courage to discover where their own journey might lead.
Perhaps your child's journey is only just beginning. ✨

25 Years. Thousands of students. Countless memories.
This month was incredibly special as I was honoured to receive my 25 Year Award from Stagecoach Performing Arts.
When Lisa and I opened Stagecoach Medway all those years ago, we simply wanted to create a place where children could grow in confidence, make lifelong friendships and discover a love of performing arts.
Twenty-five years later, seeing our students performing on one of London's most iconic stages at the Shaftesbury Theatre made receiving this award even more meaningful.
This recognition isn't just for us.
It belongs to every student who has walked through our doors, every family who has trusted us with their children, and every amazing teacher who has helped inspire the next generation.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
Here's to the next chapter. ❤️

🌟 WHAT A NIGHT! STAGECOACH MEDWAY OPENED THE SHOW IN LONDON’S WEST END! 🎭
What an incredible experience for our Stagecoach Medway students as they took to the stage at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre! 🧡🖤
Eight Stagecoach schools came together for a fantastic evening of performance, and we were incredibly proud and honoured that Stagecoach Medway was chosen to open the show.
Our students certainly rose to the occasion, bringing energy, confidence and enthusiasm to the stage with their performance of My School Musical. From the opening moments to the final number, they performed with commitment, teamwork and huge smiles.
Experiences like this are about so much more than one performance. They are about rehearsing together, supporting one another, overcoming nerves, growing in confidence and creating memories that will stay with our young people for many years to come.
We could not be prouder of every student who represented Stagecoach Medway. You worked incredibly hard, supported each other brilliantly and brought fantastic energy to that West End stage.
A huge thank you must also go to our wonderful teachers, Emma and Chelsea, who chaperoned and supported the students throughout the day. From hairstyling and make-up to costume adjustments, encouragement and all the many jobs that happen behind the scenes, their help was invaluable. Thank you both. 🌟
And, of course, thank you to all our parents and families for your continued support and for helping to make opportunities like this possible.
We are incredibly proud of you all, Team Medway. What a wonderful achievement and what fantastic memories! 🌟🎭

✨ Shaftesbury Theatre, here we come! 🎭
We are incredibly excited and proud to wish our wonderful Stagecoach Medway students the very best of luck as they prepare to perform on the stage of London’s Shaftesbury Theatre this Sunday!
They have worked so hard in rehearsals, showing commitment, teamwork and a real passion for performing, and now they have the fantastic opportunity to take all that hard work onto a West End stage.
For some, this will be their first experience of performing in a London theatre. For others, it is another exciting chapter in their Stagecoach journey. For every one of them, it will be a day to remember.
We hope you enjoy every moment, take in the atmosphere, support one another and, most importantly, have the most amazing time on that stage.
We are already incredibly proud of you all. Go out there, enjoy yourselves and show London what Stagecoach Medway can do! 🌟
Good luck, everyone! We cannot wait to see you shine.

Where self-doubt turns into self-belief
Sometimes all a child needs is the right environment to grow.
At Stagecoach Medway, we help children build confidence, resilience, communication skills and friendships through fun, engaging classes in singing, dancing and acting.
For many parents, the biggest change they notice is not just performance skills.
It is:
• improved confidence
• greater independence
• willingness to try new things
• happier social interaction
Our Early Stages classes are designed especially for children aged 4–6, giving them a safe and supportive space where they can grow at their own pace.
Children can still join our classes this term, and we are currently welcoming new students.
