Gotham City has a new protector, and it’s not who you think.

Yesterday at holiday club, our students stepped behind the camera (and in front of it) to bring their very own Batman film to life. Capes on, scripts learned, scenes shot. Gotham was never safe, but it’s in good hands now.

We can’t show you everything yet. The Bat Signal is lit, the villains are plotting, and the full film is coming soon.

Watch this space…

Day one of our Big Screen Holiday Club is officially in the can 🎬

Chairs in a circle, one very unimpressed headmistress, and a room full of brave faces trying to stay on her good side. Can anyone guess what our young filmmakers were bringing to life yesterday?

We’ll give you a clue… there’s a strict teacher who’d rather you were seen and not heard, a classroom full of kids who know better than to answer back, and a story about proving that different can be brilliant.

Every performer has a story. This one is about ours.

We’re so proud to share “My PQA Journey”, a look at what it really means to grow up in our community. From first day nerves to standing ovations, from shy hellos to lifelong friendships, this video captures why PQA is more than just classes. It’s a place where young people find their voice and never look back.

Exciting news! Following on from us being named a finalist for the Class Business Awards, we were invited to chat with The Class Business podcast.

Full episode dropping soon, stay tuned!

We are so excited to announce our first ever BAFTA Day here at PQA Truro, taking place on Saturday 5th September!

This one is double exciting, as it also marks the start of our West End journey.

This is your chance to bring a friend along to PQA and show them exactly what we are all about. At PQA, we believe every child has a story to tell, and we give them the stage, screen and confidence to tell it. Our students train across musical theatre, filmmaking and comedy and drama, all in a warm, supportive environment where confidence, creativity and friendship come first.

Spaces are limited, so head to our website to book your spot:
