The Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts is enrolling now in Bath!
PQA Bromley is a weekend performing arts academy based at the St Mark’s C.E. Primary School, offering a range of fun and exciting classes every Saturday for ages 6-18. To experience a taste of our academy, we’d be delighted to invite you to a free session this September.
What is PQA?
When Pauline Quirke MBE and her husband Steve opened the Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts in 2007, they aimed to help young people realise their full potential through a diverse spectrum of performing arts . With over 200 academies today, this ethos remains central at PQA every weekend.
At PQA Bromley we believe that all young people something unique to offer, and our aim is to bring out the best in each of them.
Confidence Boosting
Learning and practicing performing arts in a safe, encouraging environment helps young people build self-belief. Whether it’s practicing routines or performing in front of peers, family, and friends, our students learn to try new things. PQA Bromley supports and nurtures them, allowing their confidence to blossom naturally:
During their time with PQA Bromley, young people will have opportunities to perform in showcases, local performances, and even in London’s West End. You’ll love to see your child experience the thrill of performing, knowing they’ve built the skills to achieve great things on and off the stage.
An Outlet for Creativity
Creativity positively impacts mental health in many ways. It can help refocus thoughts away from worries, express oneself, release endorphins, boost self-esteem, and connect with others. Whether learning a dance routine, acting in a play, or pitching a film idea, our students use their imaginations and express themselves, fostering faith in their capabilities.
PQA Bromley’s Film & Television module uniquely nurtures creativity. Our young filmmakers learn all aspects of filmmaking, from casting and script work to directing and operating cameras and sound equipment, as well as acting for the screen.
Connecting with Others
Few industries rely on teamwork as much as the performing arts. Your child will learn to work within a group and interact respectfully. Sharing a common goal and working collectively provides a beneficial experience. Rehearsing, performing, or filming allows young people to connect with peers who share the same passions. By working together, they form strong bonds, deepen empathy, and develop compassion for the world around them.
We believe the performing arts can positively impact future generations. By nurturing these skills, young people benefit in all walks of life and into adulthood.
Find Out for Yourself
There’s so much included in our monthly fixed cost of £92 (£69 for siblings and £46 for ages 4 & 5). You even get your first t-shirt on us!
We also offer everyone aged 4-18 the opportunity to try a full session for free. PQA Bromley is open for 41 weeks of the year and you can enrol at any time.
