school. During their time at the school, Students are given the opportunity to

founded in January 1961, offering classes in Ballet, Tap, Modern and Ballroom,
to boys and girls from 3 years upwards. In 1999, the school changed its name to
the Beverley School of Performing Arts, with Drama and Jazz classes being added
to the curriculum. In 2009, due to popular demand, singing and street dance were
added to compliment the full range of performing arts. In 2021, the school
celebrated it’s 60th Anniversary. A memory book was presented to the founder
Miss Pear, a Virtual Show was performed and a party with invited guests was held
at the Queensbury Methodist Church Hall, where the School has held classes since
1961. 2022 promises to be yet another ground breaking year for the school, with
student numbers increasing and exciting new classes being introduced.
