Centre Stage School of Performing Arts

My daughter has been at Centre Stage for 3 years and she has loved every minute. She has performed in some incredible shows and we look forward to many more. The staff are friendly, supportive and encouraging of every child.

Words cannot really describe how much of a special place Centre Stage School of Performing Arts is. My eldest son has been attending for 14 years and is sadly finishing his time as a student this year. My other son has been attending now for 5 years. I initially sent both of them to help with their confidence and the outcome is beyond what I had hoped for. Fantastic teachers provide care and encouragement, in a fun environment, which nurtures both talent and life skills. Life long friendships have been formed, along with a love of the performing arts. The Centre Stage family are about to celebrate their 20th anniversary and long may they continue!

To say Centre Stage has changed my son's life is an understatement. Having realised at a very early age that my son's passion was the dramatic arts we were lucky enough to be recommended to Centre Stage which he joined, 9 years ago, at the age of 7 - and he has never looked back. Carole and her incredible team have supported and encouraged his dreams, to the point that he is now pursuing a career in the performing arts. However, more importantly, he considers Centre Stage, both the students and staff, to be his family. As you can imagine, I cannot recommend Centre Stage highly enough for your child. Whether it's to give an incredibly high standard of tuition for a child that has a passion for performing arts, or simply to build confidence in a child that is shy then you will not go wrong in entrusting your child to the fabulous team at Centre Stage .

Our decision to send our son to Centre Stage was probably the best decision we have ever made. At the time I was very ill and unable to participate in the usual father and son activities (football) and so we decided to send our shy and insecure son to Centre Stage in the hope they would help him gain some much needed confidence. Today, we have a confident, outgoing and happy child who is hoping to persue a career in the performing arts. Without any doubt none of this would be possible without Carole, her fantastic team and the wonderful friends he has made at Centre Stage. I would unreservedly recommend Centre Stage to any parent or child. We consider them part of our family and will always be grateful for all they do.

My daughter has been at center stage for five years she loves dancing , singing , drama and all the shows . My son on the other had no interest but started a year ago. He didn’t have confidence to be on stage or to speak out . Centre stage has helped all that.
Center stage is like a family and the kids make long time friends.
The whole team help with anything you want to ask and the kids look up to them so much.

Centre Stage is home from home, it's a place that enriches the lives of children and young adults. I have 2 sons that have been a part of Centre stage from the age of 4, my eldest is now in his late twenties and my youngest has recently turned 16. Centre stage has been an amazing platform for them both, they have developed with confidence not only in the world of Performing Arts, Dance, and music, but knowing who they are and striving to be their better self. I'm proud as a parent to be a part of Centre Stage family, none of this would be possible without the owner Carole Oshea, she has a carefully selected dedicated Team / staff you makes every child feel worthy and able irrespective of race, colour, disability etc. Her Team are an absolute inspiration to our children, their patience and passion for what they do so well is a testament to their commitment. Every child takes front of stage and has an important part to play. I would encourage any child to be a part of such a unique establishment.
I'm a parent that has witnessed the talent that has be born from Centre Stage many moving on to Television, Theatre, etc. both in the UK and abroad, I myself have sat in the cinema and watched my son on the big screen. None of this would have been possible without Centre Stage.
I would like to thank Centre Stage for the love, kindness and nurturing that so many children have been afforded during the many classes and productions which they have taken part in, our children have received a true blessing and will go on to be positive children of the future.

My daughter has loved every moment of her time at Centre Stage from the age of 7 (she is 15 now) and it continues to be the favourite part of her week. She has made wonderful friends over the years and had incredible teachers who have help shape her both as an actor and a person. Centre Stage we love everything you do, your inclusivity, your support, encouragement and creativity.

My daughter has been part of the school for over 4years and absolutely loves it. Centre Stage gives the opportunity to shine and her confidence has grown so much. My son also joined recently and absolutely enjoys it. The staff are friendly and warm. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a friendly environment, with no pressure for a child to excel.
