PQA Cirencester is a weekend performing arts school for children offering Comedy & Drama, Musical Theatre and Film & Television sessions every Sunday at Watermoor C of E Primary School, providing a creative space for young people. 

Our weekly performing arts sessions welcome young people aged 6-18. At PQA Cirencester, we are passionate about providing children with 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 experienced Principal Marie and a talented 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!

Hi, I’m Tom and I am the principal at PQA Neath. As a child I was captivated by musical movies: The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins and The Wizard of Oz. This is where my love of theatre began. Performance has always been part of my identity; therefore it was an easy decision after leaving school to attend Trinty St David’s where I gained my BA. As part of my course, I spent time studying Dance and Musical Theatre at California State University, a life experience I will cherish and never forget.
