PQA Richmond

We’re proud to be a vital part of the local community, helping children and teenagers grow in confidence, creativity, and skill through the power of performance. Our team is made up of passionate industry professionals with years of experience across stage and screen. We believe in maintaining an environment that’s fun, inclusive, and inspiring, allowing every student to achieve their full potential. Performing arts offer countless benefits, both personally and professionally - and every student’s journey with us is unique. Some discover a love for performing, others build confidence or develop filmmaking skills, while many join our successful agency, Quirky Kidz, to pursue professional work in the industry. Our students have already achieved remarkable success, appearing in West End productions such as Kinky Boots, Mary Poppins, Mrs Doubtfire, Matilda the Musical, The Boy in a Dress, and Peter Pan & Wendy (Disney), as well as on Channel 4, ITV, Sky Atlantic, Warner Brothers, and CBeebies. We’re proud to offer a wealth of performance opportunities, from open-air Shakespeare at Ham House & Garden to shows at Richmond Theatre, Strawberry Hill House & Garden and The ACT Theatre. Our Film & Television students have also enjoyed red-carpet premieres and won awards at national and regional film festivals hosted at venues such as Cineworld Leicester Square, The BFI Southbank, and Cineworld Greenwich O2. We are privileged to run our academies from the brand-new performing arts building at Christ’s School, featuring state-of-the-art studios for dance, drama, and film. play_circle_filled
