Principal note:

PQA Worcester opened its doors for the first time in May 2015 to an excited crowd of young people from across Worcestershire and Herefordshire, who participated in an action-packed performing arts taster day in the accessible, state-of-the-art performance space at the King's School, Worcester, WR1.
Eight years on and 150 students from a wide range of primary schools, secondary schools and academies in Worcester, Hereford, Droitwich Spa, Stourport and Kidderminster are members of PQA Worcester.
