🌟 Day 4 of Summer School! 🌟

What an incredible week our students are having! The studios have been full of energy, creativity and plenty of smiles as our talented performers have immersed themselves in dancing, singing and acting. 🎭🎶✨

Their confidence has grown every single day, and it has been wonderful to watch new friendships form while everyone works so hard, supports one another and, most importantly, has fun.

We can’t believe tomorrow is our final day! We are so proud of every single student and can’t wait to see what they achieve next. ❤️

Bring on the grand finale! 💫

🎓✨ Wishing Rosie the very best as she begins her next adventure! ✨🎓.

This week we say a fond farewell to our wonderful Poppets teacher, Rosie, as she heads off to university!
After joining the team at PQA Stevenage as one of our fantastic Poppets teachers, Rosie brought endless enthusiasm, kindness and creativity to our youngest students every Saturday. She has been an inspiring role model, encouraging our Poppets to dream big, grow in confidence and enjoy every moment on stage.

As Rosie says: “The last 4 years I have spent both as a student at PQA WGC and as a Poppets teacher at PQA Stevenage have been absolutely brilliant. I began my PQA journey with a love for performing but that love has grown into a passion. PQA has given me so many incredible opportunities such as performing twice at His Majesty’s Theatre, at a London Speakeasy and walking the red carpet at the PQA Film Festival at the BFI. As well as this, I have also created some of my closest friendships at PQA which I am so grateful for.
Transitioning from a student to Poppets teacher was an experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone but Louise and her brilliant team supported me every step of the way. I have had so much fun teaching Poppets and every week, they brought so much energy and passion for such a young age! I know they are all going to achieve their dreams and I look forward to seeing how they progress through their time at PQA. I am going onto study Media & Journalism at Falmouth University and the skills I have learnt through PQA have put me in the perfect stead for this. I am hoping to become an Entertainment Journalist so I look forward to interviewing you all on the red carpet one day!”

Rosie, thank you for everything you’ve brought to the academy! We are so proud of everything you have achieved so far and can’t wait to see where this exciting chapter takes you! We all wish you every success at uni and beyond! We will definitely be looking out for you on that red carpet!♥️
