Pauline Quirke Academy - Aylesbury

My children adore PQA! It is the highlight of their week! My eldest has now left & gone on to study Musical Performance at Uni, thanks to the support she received. They have so many wonderful opportunities from film premieres to West End Show performances & the team are fabulous! Highly Recommended.

My daughter absolutely loves attending PQA; she looks forward to it every single week and always comes out the doors at the end of the session with a big smile on her face. She has grown in confidence tremendously and gets to experience exciting new things every week. The staff are fantastic and she has made some amazing friends. If your child wants to get involved in performing arts, I would definitely recommend PQA Aylesbury.

My daughter has attended PQA Aylesbury for 7 years. She has loved every second. She’s performed in the West End twice and had numerous other opportunities along the way and also has some amazing friends as a result. She has learnt diverse skills about production ( including filming and editing) - it’s not simply musical theatre. Kym is a very professional Principal and is always encouraging but also very fair and has built up a fantastic team of teachers. It’s money I’ve never regretted spending - try it out!

Such a great performing arts academy. Gives the children such confidence. A chance to perform in fabulous shows , sometimes up in the west End and around your local summer schools fetes. Great friends are made in the sessions and carried over to outside daily . Would definitely recommend to all.

My boys (ages 15 and 11) have been part of the PQA family now for over 3 years and what a 3 years it has been! Every Saturday they have their own little sanctuary where their ideas and inner talent is brought to life by the most incredible people in a safe and nurturing environment. They have been part of a West End show, they make multiple short films, they have masterclasses and workshops with real life actors who want to share their genius, and they are part of something, which I think is important for young people to feel.
PQA has fostered their growth as people, it’s expanded their minds unlocking brilliance they didn’t know was there and they have made real, solid friendships with children on their wavelength who they never would have met otherwise.
I cannot recommend PQA highly enough and I can’t imagine life without it now.

Our daughter has been attending for 2 years and really enjoys her time. They are quite strict but in a constructive way which helps to get the kids minds in the right place and all the kids come out really excited each session to tell their parents what they did!

My son has been attending the Poppets class for some time. He loves the classes and the team. It is a friendly, welcoming and safe environment and his confidence has grown enormously. The performances he has taken part in have been relaxed and enjoyable - a great opportunity to perform in front of a small audience with no pressure. I would definitely recommend!

PQA is such a brilliant academy! My daughter is thriving there and is really enjoying the experience that PQA has to offer. Her confidence has grown and she loves learning and developing her skills each week with the best teachers. Would highly recommend.
