Jigsaw Performing Arts School Barnet

10 reasons your child might LOVE performing arts 🎭

At Jigsaw, we believe every child deserves to find somewhere they feel like they belong.

Some children walk through our doors dreaming of being on stage. Others come in feeling shy, unsure or simply wanting to try something new.

And then something happens…

They find their people

Here are 10 reasons your child might fall in love with performing arts:

1. They find their tribe
A place where they can be themselves, make friends and feel truly included.

2. Their confidence grows
Little by little, they become braver, louder and more confident in who they are.

3. They can be completely themselves
There’s no “right” way to be at Jigsaw. We celebrate individuality, personality and creativity.

4. They make friendships that matter
Performing arts brings children together, creating friendships through shared experiences, laughter and teamwork.

5. They discover something they’re brilliant at
It might be dancing, singing, acting… or simply making people smile.

6. They learn to express themselves
Drama, dance and singing give children a wonderful outlet to explore emotions, ideas and imagination.

7. They learn to work as a team
Being part of a show teaches children that every single person has an important part to play.

8. They have something exciting to look forward to each week!
A place where they can walk through the doors and know they’re going to have fun.

9. They learn that mistakes are okay
We encourage children to have a go, take risks and keep trying without being afraid of getting it wrong.

10. They find a place where they belong
Because sometimes the most special thing a child can find isn’t a stage… it’s a community that makes them feel seen, valued and accepted.

At Jigsaw, we’re not just teaching performing arts.

We’re helping children find their confidence, find their friendships and find their place.

Because everyone deserves somewhere to belong!

Could Jigsaw be that place for your child? 🧩

🌟 FROM JIGSAW TO PANTO! 🌟

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to our amazing Drama teacher, Joe, who has landed a very exciting festive job this year… 🎭✨

Joe will still be teaching our Jigsaw Barnet students throughout the term, before heading off to Rotherham Civic Theatre to take on the incredible role of Peter Pan in The New Adventures of Peter Pan! 🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️

How AMAZING is that?! 💚

We absolutely love that our students get to learn from teachers who are not only passionate about performing arts, but are actively working in the industry themselves.

To watch Joe teach each week and then see him take to the stage as a leading performer is such an inspiring example of where their own training, hard work and love of performing could take them one day. ✨

Dream it. Work for it. Perform it. 🎭

Congratulations, Joe… we are SO proud of you! 🥹👏💚

Keeping children busy and engaged over the summer doesn’t have to mean planning every minute of the day. ☀️🎭

In fact, some of the best moments can come from the simplest things…

🏰 A cardboard box becomes a castle

🎶Music turns into a family dance-off

Plus, sometimes, a little boredom can become the starting point for a brilliant new idea!

Here are a few simple ways to keep creativity flowing this summer:

🎭 Encourage imaginative play & let children create their own worlds and stories.

🎤 Put on a family performance, no perfect routines required! Let them choose the music, create the costumes and take centre stage.

📚Bring stories to life and ask “What happens next?” or act out a favourite scene together.

💃 Get moving to music! Dancing is a brilliant way to encourage self-expression, rhythm and confidence.

How are you keeping your children busy this summer? 🤭❤️

Retro vibes ✌🏻
