On Saturday 24th of February, PQA Worcester students took part in an amazing British Sign Language session as, for the first time ever, they will be including sign language in their big summer Musical Theatre production!
The students were excited to welcome Maria to the academy and to begin learning sign language for the musical number ‘It’s The Hard Knock Life’ for their musical ANNIE Junior.
Our Green Group students Penelope, who is deaf, and her sister Violet are already amazing at signing, and they will both be leading their fellow students in the piece when it is staged in July. Well done everyone on learning this new skill and we can’t wait to see all our students putting it into practice in the summer show.

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.
