Half a term already… WOW! 🤩
We can’t believe how quickly the weeks have flown by since opening our doors.
A huge THANK YOU to all of our amazing PQA’ers for the energy, enthusiasm, creativity, and smiles you bring every single week — you make our academy such a special place to be! 🌟
We’re already counting down the days until we see you all back at academy on 6th June, ready for even more fun, friendships, and fantastic performances. 🎭✨
Until then, here are a few highlights from today! 💛🖤
5 weeks in and watching these friendships blossom is honestly everything 💛
Our PQA’ers are growing in confidence week by week, and seeing them find their people, their place, and their sparkle is something truly special. From those first phone calls with parents saying “they just haven’t found where they fit yet” to hearing laughter fill our Saturdays… it’s a feeling we can’t quite put into words.
Finding friends who match your energy changes everything ✨ Feeling very grateful for this little community we’re building together

It’s Mental Health Week, and this year’s theme is ‘Action’, a reminder that we all have the power to take small, meaningful steps to support our mental health and the wellbeing of those around us.
Whether it’s checking in on a friend, trying something new, or simply giving yourself permission to pause… every action counts. At PQA, we see first-hand how powerful the performing arts can be in supporting mental wellbeing. Through acting, singing, and dancing, young people don’t just learn skills, they build friendships, resilience, and have a safe space to grow. Our academies are warm and inclusive, where young people are encouraged to be themselves and feel supported by those around them. 💛
💭 What’s one small action you can take this week to support your mental health, or someone else’s?
