👋 HELLO & WELCOME TO NYP! 💜
We’ve had a fair few new parents and followers join us recently, so I thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce myself and, over the next few posts, introduce you to the wonderful team behind NYP Academy!
I’m Freya, Founder & Principal of NYP Academy. I started NYP back in 2015 because I wanted to create somewhere young people could not only learn to sing, dance and act, but somewhere they could build confidence, make friends, feel supported and truly belong.
More than 10 years later, that is still at the heart of everything we do. 💜
As a mum myself and someone who has spent my career working with children and young people, creating a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment is incredibly important to me. Alongside my performing arts and teaching qualifications, I’ve continued to train in safeguarding, SEND, wellbeing, first aid and child development so that the children in our care are supported as individuals — not just as performers.
My absolute favourite part of NYP is watching a child walk through our doors unsure of themselves and seeing them gradually find their confidence, their people and their place on the stage. ✨
Whether you’ve been part of NYP for years or you’ve only just found us — welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.
Keep an eye on the page over the next few days as I’ll be introducing the rest of our brilliant team so you can get to know the people behind NYP. 🎭🎤💃
Freya 💜
Founder & Principal, NYP Academy
