Amazing morning filming with Poppets today! Well done Mila poppet of the week 🌟
A blast from the past our first ever musical theatre tutor popped in to teach our AM academy. It was wonderful seeing Hayley again.
Reminder to use the ghandi building main entrance please.
Hi all please note from next week we will be using the Ghandi buildings main entrance which is on the left hand side if you are facing the venue, as the side entrance will now be magnetically locked.
We are in the main school hall today. So please take extra time and care when arriving as today will be busy.
Let’s grow our community! If you think others would enjoy being part of PQA share this post with them. 😊

So proud of our PM academy students performing with the Opera Boys. They absolutely smashed it well done all. One very proud principal 🥹 😊🤩
Calling all PQA film enthusiasts! 📽️
Most films that we see on the big screen feature heroes, heroes that make us feel that anything is possible and that we have the power within us to overcome some of life's challenges.
That's why we're challenging our students to make a 90 second short film, with the theme 'A Hero's Journey'.
We want to see films that inspire us. Films that show us your version of heroism. 🌟
Full challenge details can be found here 👉https://pqatv.com/news/a-heros-journey-short-film-competition/

⭐️ AWESOME ACTING OPPORTUNITY! ⭐️
From BBC Studios Casting Team, shooting in Newcastle over the Summer holidays, looking for actors to fulfil the roles of:
HARMONY
Female. Aged between 11-14 years.
We would like to cast a child who is neurodivergent for this role. A chaotic force of nature and door slammer extraordinaire! Harmony and Phoenix are sisters. She loves her sister and is aware that when the dust settles, she can often spoil things for the both of them.
PHOENIX
Female. Aged between 8 – 11 years.
The younger sister of Harmony, fiery but not quite in the same league as her big sister. She can get away with murder as her older sister will always get the blame!
SAMMY
Male. Aged between 11-14 years.
Sammy arrives at ‘The Dumping Ground’ as a refugee who has been in the country for a few months. He still maintains his accent from his home country and we are open to whatever accent this may be.
He is a creative ball of mischief in the house who often tells fantastical stories to the group of how he arrived in the UK.
VINNY
Male. Aged between 6-7 years.
The Dumping Ground is a big change from what young Vinny is used to. Cheeky and chatty, he tends to say whatever is on his mind.
TESSA
Female. Aged between 12-15 years
Tessa is more affluent than the other kids in the Dumping Ground. Life has been easy for her so far, so arriving here is very different from the usual luxury that she is used to.
HOW TO APPLY
Please send the following to [email protected] with the subject ‘CHILD’S NAME / THE DUMPINGGROUND-Child’s Name-Child’s Age-Where they are based. (Must be within two hours of Newcastle)-A recent photograph-The role they are interested in. Please note, we can only accept submissions from Parents or Guardians and are unable to process any directemails from those aged 16 or under.

When Pauline Quirke MBE and her husband Steve opened the Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts in 2007, they wanted to help young people realise their full potential through a unique variety of tuition. Today, with over 200 academies, we’re proud this ethos continues to be central to the skills taught at every weekend! 🌟
From the moment they step through the door of one of our academies, we teach our students performing arts skills that boost their confidence and encourage them explore their creativity, all in a warm and welcoming environment. Developing these important life skills can help contribute towards a child’s physical and mental wellbeing and we're glad to support Children's Mental Health Week 2024 – which is all about empowering children and young people by providing them with the tools they need to express themselves. 💛
Here at PQA, we believe that the performing arts do just that and have a hugely positive impact on the lives of future generations. By nurturing these skills, our students will benefit in all walks of life and into adulthood! Find out just how on our website and in our blog at www.pqacademy.com and
