PQA Brentwood is a performing arts school, located in Becket Keys C of E School, offering performing arts sessions which combine acting, singing, dancing lessons, filming and comedy, every Saturday. 

Our weekly sessions include Comedy & Drama, Musical Theatre and Film & Television for children and young people aged 6-18. At PQA Brentwood, we are committed to 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.

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

Led by Principal Stephen and and a talented team of teachers, we pour passion into every session. And we firmly believe that the confidence, resilience, and communication your child gains at PQA will make a lasting impact!

Sharing smiles and warm hearts every week, and nurturing the confidence and talents of all our wonderful students, is a fabulous thing to experience each week.
