🎭A well done to this talented bunch! More than 40 young performers from Penkhull-based Pauline Quirke Academy (PQA) of Performing Arts took to the stage at London's iconic His Majesty's Theatre.
A total of 43 youngsters from the school performed in Across The Line. It's part of an ambitious series of 26 West End performances, featuring thousands of young performers from across PQA’s nationwide network.
🗣️Carrick Stimson-Machers, principal of the Stoke-on-Trent branch, said: "The PQA Stoke-on-Trent students were incredible. Performing in the West End was an amazing opportunity and one that our students will remember for the rest of their lives. I can’t praise our students enough, they’re not just great performers but they’re also kind and support each other every step of the way. Thank you to the parents, PQA HQ and the PQA Stoke team for making this possible."

High-octane cardboard car racing, strict judges, and brushes with the law?! Must be a Green Group film 🚔😂

We have two more sessions before we break for the summer ☀️

Over the next two weeks, we will be putting the finishing touches on the first set of films screened as part of our VUE project. The students have worked so hard - we can’t wait to see their ideas come to life on the big screen 🎬

Please ensure your child continues to bring their costume ❤️

See you Saturday!

Congratulations to our ‘Performer of the Week’ winners 🏆

A special shoutout to our appliance of the week: The air conditioner unit 🙌😂
