PQA Putney is a friendly and welcoming performing arts academy nestled in the heart of Wandsworth. We pride ourselves on providing top-quality performing arts training in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment. Not only do our pupils get to explore their passion for performing, they also build confidence, develop lifelong skills and forge wonderful new friendships. 

Every Saturday morning during term time, pupils aged 6-18 get to explore our three unique modules:

PQA Putney runs at Ark Putney Academy, where we have access to not one but two theatre spaces. The school also happens to be in close proximity to the bustling Putney high street - perfect for indulging in coffee and cake whilst your children are creating! PQA Putney is led by Principal Izzi and a team of trained performing arts professionals, all of whom are DBS-checked and full safeguarding compliant. 

Whether they dream of the stage, spend all day drafting story ideas or simply want to try something new, PQA Putney has something for everyone.

In addition to the exciting opportunities available at PQA, we also empower children to delve into other creative aspects of the performing arts industry.

I grew up attending Saturday performing arts academies and I am delighted to be able to share this passion with the next generation of performers, directors and filmmakers. Having worked as an actor, a creative producer and a drama practitioner, I enjoy sharing the skills I learnt in the industry with our wonderful pupils. I am thrilled to share my vision with a dedicated team of professionals who bring such enthusiasm to our academy each week.
