Children can develop their enthusiasm, confidence and creativity through one of the world's largest drama schools.

The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy holds sessions at Newton Community Centre every week for children between the ages of five and 12.

The classes, which run during school term times, follow a curriculum that has been developed over 28 years. In the summer term students in the academy begin rehearsing a scripted play which is later performed to an invited audience.

All of the academy's teachers are CRB checked and are full trained by Helen O'Grady teaching methods.

Classes take place on a Friday at the Park Lane South centre between 4.15pm until 5.15pm.
