PQA is a dedicated performing arts school with classes for children and young
adults in Comedy & Drama, Musical Theatre (singing & dancing) and Film &
Television.OUR STORY Pauline and her husband Steve opened their first Academy
when they couldn't find anything that ticked all the boxes for their son,
Charlie. They wanted to be able to provide performing arts tuition that was
enjoyable, fun and would build children’s confidence. More importantly, they
wanted to help young people to pursue their life's dreams, whatever those dreams
may be, using drama to help children realise their potential and blossom into
confident young people. To Pauline and Steve, the performing arts is more than
just singing and acting and they wanted to reflect that at PQA. They therefore
created a performing arts school that covers the entire arts spectrum, including
lessons in Comedy, Drama and of course Film & TV. When 130 students turned up
for the opening of the first PQA Academy, they knew they were onto something!
Over 15 years later, PQA has more than 200 Academies nationwide and is the
largest provider of Film & TV education for young people in the UK.
