PQA Chichester offers weekend performing arts sessions for children in Chichester every Saturday at Chichester Free School, creating a supportive environment for young people to explore acting, singing, dancing and filmaking.  

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. At PQA Chichester, our weekly sessions include Comedy & Drama, Musical Theatre and Film & Television for children and young people aged 4-18.

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 Katy and an exceptional team of teachers, we strongly believe that the important life skills your child gains at PQA - like confidence, resilience and communication - will stick with them throughout life!
