PQA Beverley is a weekend performing arts academy which offers classes each Saturday. The academy is based at East Riding College and offers our student excellent facilities. We welcome everyone aged 4-18 from Beverley, Walkington, Cherry Burton, Wawne and everywhere in between.

Our weekly sessions include Comedy & Drama, Musical Theatre and Film & Television for children and young people aged 4-18. At PQA Beverley, we are passionate about delivering first-class performing arts sessions giving children the space to learn new skills, make friends, build self-belief, all in a safe and welcoming environment while they explore the world of performing arts.

Led by Principal James and Vice Principal Natalie, along with an exceptional team of teachers, we're passionate about what we do, and we strongly believe that the important life skills your child gains at PQA - like confidence, resilience and communication - will stick with them throughout life!

The best part, there is no need to pick just one class, PQA's weekly three-hour sessions explore:

•    Comedy & Drama class: your child will learn creative play, Improv and scriptwriting
•    Musical Theatre class: your child will learn to sing, dance and act for theatre
•    Film & Television class: your child will start to storyboard, screenwrite, film and act for television
