Principal of PQA Wolverhampton, Julian Elcock, has been the driving force behind this superb opportunity for students. PQA Wolverhampton, PQA Swindon, PQA Derby and PQA Sutton Coldfield were all in attendance, demonstrating their student’s filmmaking skills, and watching the students’ imagination and creativity come to life on the big screen.
Students from all age ranges were part of the event and the winners from each category were ecstatic with their PQA Trophies!

PQA provides performing arts training for children and teens aged 4–18. Our Main Academy (ages 6–18) includes three core classes:
Some academies also offer Poppets (ages 4–6), an energetic 90-minute class introducing young children to singing, dancing and acting.
PQA welcomes all children, whether they’re complete beginners or already confident performers. There’s no audition needed to join.
At PQA students in Main Academy are grouped by age, learning with other children and young people at similar stages.
This depends on where you feel your child will be happiest. Some 6-year olds are ready to join the 6-9 age group in Main Academy, others will feel more comfortable starting in Poppets.
Your always welcome to discuss what’s best for your child with your local Principal before booking your free session.
