🌟 The Dream Team Is Back! 🌟

After an unforgettable 2025/26, we’re beyond excited to say that our entire teaching team is returning for another incredible year!

The same passionate, dedicated team who helped create award-winning moments, unforgettable performances, inspiring workshops and countless memories will be back to do it all again in 2026/27. We truly believe that consistency is key, and we’re so proud to have a team that shares the same vision, values and commitment to helping every student thrive.

We’re also delighted to welcome one new addition to the team… Jack K! 🎉

Alongside continuing to perform, Jack will be supporting our Songbirds and Drama sessions, bringing even more enthusiasm, creativity and encouragement to our students.

We can’t wait to get stuck into another year of learning, growing, performing and making memories together. If last year was anything to go by, this year is going to be even bigger and better!

Here’s to an amazing 2026/27… let’s make it one to remember! 💙✨

✨ Group 5 Summer Success ✨

Some of our Group 5 students have been living the dream over the summer, making the most of some brilliant opportunities at summer schools and training programmes. 🎭

Fliz and Connie even managed to bump into each other while attending the GSA Summer School — proof that the NAT gang really are everywhere!

Amelie spent a couple of days training at Emil Dale, while Eloise packed in a week at Italia Conti, as well as taking part in a week-long design course, exploring the creative side of theatre.

And a huge congratulations to Sofia, who successfully auditioned for British Youth Music Theatre (BYMT) and is currently performing in their new musical Sea Change at Birmingham Hippodrome!

What a brilliant summer of creating, learning and growing — we’re so proud of you all and love seeing you grab these opportunities with both hands! ❤️

🎭 SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT 🎭

📅 9th & 10th July 2027

We’re delighted to announce that the final production of our 2026/27 season will be Songs for a New World!

Performed by our talented Group 5, alongside some of our older Group 4 students and our wonderful Songbirds, this intimate four-hander will be transformed into a powerful vocal showcase, celebrating the incredible talent and storytelling of our young performers.

Songs for a New World is a contemporary song cycle by Jason Robert Brown, exploring the defining moments in life when we stand at a crossroads and take a leap into the unknown. Filled with powerful music, it celebrates hope, courage, change and new beginnings.

As our performers reach the end of another academic year and emerge from exam season, this production couldn’t be more fitting. After months of hard work and dedication, they’ll be celebrating their own new beginnings, making this the perfect way to close our 2026/27 season.

Join us on 9th & 10th July 2027 for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of exceptional vocals and inspiring theatre.

🎟️ Ticket information will be released later in the season—we can’t wait to share this special production with you!

🌟 Spotlight On… Group 5! 🌟

What a year for our Group 5 performers! This group have packed an incredible amount into the year, all while balancing the demands of school, GCSEs and A Levels.

✨ Performing in our February Showcase
✨ Some of the group taking part in the NANDA One Act Play Festival, with some fantastic award wins along the way! 🏆
✨ Taking to the stage in our production of Bonnie & Clyde
✨ Juggling rehearsals and performances alongside GCSEs, A Levels and everything else that comes with this stage of life
✨ Continuing to challenge themselves, build confidence and grow as performers

There’s a huge amount of talent in this group, and we’ve loved seeing them take on different challenges and opportunities throughout the year.

For some, this year has been about stepping into bigger roles and taking more responsibility. For others, it’s been about pushing themselves out of their comfort zones and discovering just how much they’re capable of.

We’re incredibly proud of this group and everything they’ve achieved, especially while managing such busy academic years alongside their performing commitments.

There’s still so much more to come from Group 5… and we can’t wait to see it! 💙🎭✨

🌟 Spotlight On… Group 4! 🌟

What a year it’s been for this brilliant bunch! Group 4 has absolutely thrown themselves into everything this year, and there is so much talent within this group.

✨ Taking part in the majority of our industry workshops
✨ Performing in both of our showcases
✨ Balancing rehearsals and performances alongside GCSEs for many of the group
✨ Developing new skills and pushing themselves outside of their comfort zones
✨ Growing massively, both as performers and as people

We’ve been so proud to see just how many of our Group 4 members have surprised themselves this year. Watching their confidence grow, seeing them take on challenges they may not have thought they could, and watching them develop into stronger, more confident performers has been amazing.

For some, September brings the exciting step up to Group 5… but for all of them, this really feels like just the beginning. 🚀

There’s so much potential in this group, and we genuinely can’t wait to see where they take it next.

The next chapter is going to be a good one! 💙✨

🌟 Spotlight On… Group 3! 🌟

What a fantastic year it’s been for our Group 3 performers!

With a mix of new and returning members, this group has given us so much to celebrate. Many of our Group 3 performers are also part of our Songbirds and Drama cohorts, making for some very busy Saturdays—but they take it all in their stride!

✨ Taking part in all four of our industry workshops
✨ Rising to every challenge with determination and enthusiasm
✨ Continuing to grow in confidence, skill and performance every week

This group has worked incredibly hard throughout the year, and it’s been amazing to watch them develop. They have so much to look forward to next year and are more than ready to take that leap to the next level.

We can’t wait to see where their talent and dedication take them next! 💙🎭
