PQA Wirral

PQA Wirral is a dedicated performing arts Academy at the Birkenhead High School Academy, with classes for children and young adults in Comedy & Drama, Musical Theatre (singing & dancing) and Film & Television.

Principal note:

Every Saturday at PQA Wirral our students have the opportunity to express themselves and showcase their talents through performing arts.

We offer our students the chance to be whoever they want to be, and provide them with the support and guidance they need to reach any goal they want to achieve.
