We’re so excited to share that ZAPA has been nominated for the Southport Business Awards! 🩵🏆🏅

We’re SO proud to receive this nomination! Creating a welcoming, supportive environment where young people can grow in confidence, make lifelong friendships and develop a love for the performing arts has always been our number one priority and we’re thrilled this is being recognised in the community 🥹🫶🏻

A huge thank you to our amazing students, families and teachers. This nomination is as much yours as it is ours, and we’re so grateful to have such a wonderful bunch of people behind us.

WOW SCHOOL OF ROCK CAST 2026! 🤩🎸🤘🏼🎤🥁

4 days later and we are still SO blown away by your performances last weekend at Ormskirk Civic Hall 😍

There’s something about every ZAPA show that makes us teachers more and more proud each time and we are seeing such a huge growth in all students 🩵

Performing brilliantly and putting on a sensational show is always a fantastic goal to have and we LOVE that you all put 100% into the shows. We’re seeing pupils become more confident exploring deep characterisation fearlessly and it’s nothing but a joy to watch.

More importantly than this though (in our opinion), our favourite thing is watching what happens BACKSTAGE… in the wings… in the rehearsals leading up to the show. This time more than ever, we’ve seen huge amounts of support between students and teachers, championing each other and helping each other out, giving each other praise and confidence… the list is endless!

There were so many moments over the rehearsal process and show weekend where we found ourselves just standing back and smiling because of how lovely you all are. 🥹

Talent is wonderful, and we’re lucky to have so much of it at ZAPA. But what makes us proudest is the atmosphere you’ve all helped create. A place where people support each other, encourage each other, celebrate each other and genuinely want each other to do well.

That’s not something we take for granted.

So thank you, ZAPA family! Thank you for your hard work, your trust, your enthusiasm, your kindness and for making us laugh A LOT along the way 🩵
