PQA Wigan

PQA Wigan runs performing arts classes on Saturdays from The Deanery CE High School and Sixth Form College. Students aged 6-18 years learn a variety of performing arts skills across our three modules, Musical Theatre, Comedy & Drama and Film & Television. Students aged four and five experience an introduction to performing arts in our Poppets classes.

Principal note:

Here at PQA Wigan, our fantastic team of teachers and assistants are just as dedicated to inspiring, engaging and motivating each of our students as I am. Whether our young performers wish to gain confidence, make new friends, or pursue a career in the performing arts, our staff help make it all possible in three magical hours per week.

Our friendly academy takes places every Saturday morning from 09:45am to 13:00pm at The Deanery CE High School and Sixth Form College, Wigan
