🌟At the end of term, we said goodbye and good luck to our wonderful Rafe!! 🌟

With us so long that they were part of the furniture, and long remembered for their outstanding performance as ‘Trunchbull’ in Matilda Jnr and amazing West End performances!

Rafe, you will be SO missed at PQA Leeds-Bradford and we are so incredibly proud to see the fantastic young person you have become! Go forward and show everyone how amazing, intelligent and hard working you are. You’re a superstar and we can’t wait to follow your journey as you move on from PQA! 🌟

Couldn’t miss a chance to get a photo with this absolute dream team on Saturday (minus lovely Poppy, who was stuck on a train)

The absolute luckiest to work with these amazing people, who always put our students first in everything we do. 🥰⭐️ Shout out to Jack & Charlie, who rehearsed FOUR different casts of leads for the show.

Thank you Team for yet again working your socks off all weekend. You’re all amazing! ⭐️

Woweee!!!! We are officially HUGE fans of Pantoland! 🧚⭐️

We were absolutely blown away by not one, but FOUR incredible shows on Saturday & Sunday (featuring 4 absolutely amazing casts!). Well done everyone. We had the most fun with you all.

Check out a couple of photos caught by Kimberley from the tech box in between cues (head to our Insta for a few video clips too). Amazing!

Special thanks to PQA RICHMOND for the awesome script, which ensured ALL our students had a role to play.

⭐️WE BELIEVE IN FAIRIES!! ⭐️
