PQA Southport offers high-quality performing arts classes every Saturday morning  at Greenbank High School, our venue which gives us a brilliant venue with a wide variety of facilities including separate Dance and Drama studios.

Our weekly sessions include Comedy & Drama, Musical Theatre and Film & Television for children and young people aged 4-18. At PQA Southport, 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 Sarah and 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!

Hi, I'm Sarah, I started working at PQA as a teacher in 2013 and became Principal of PQA Southport in 2015, before opening PQA Bolton in 2016. So, I have been a part of this amazing family for nearly 10 years. Everything that PQA offers children and young people, watching my pupils grow in confidence and the enjoyment they get from expressing their imaginations, makes me love what I do.
