Description
THEATRE SCHOOL – SATURDAYS
Every Saturday during term time, children have the opportunity to immerse themselves in dance, drama, and singing—with lessons tailored to their age group. Through engaging classes, they’ll build performance skills, grow in confidence, make new friends, and work towards an exciting end-of-year showcase at the Miller Theatre (located within the RGS grounds).
Our 2026 showcase will take place at the end of the summer term (exact date to be confirmed). It’s a fantastic opportunity for students to shine on stage and celebrate everything they’ve learned.
Whether your child is passionate about musical theatre, hip hop, jazz, contemporary dance, scriptwriting, improvisation, vocal technique, or harmonies, Chimney Sweep offers a dynamic and supportive space to explore it all. We’re here to nurture every child’s unique interests and talents.
Who can come? All children aged 4 to 16 years. Whether your child has previous experience or wants to gain theatre skills, all are welcome.
When are the classes and how do they run? Each Saturday during school term time. Children are grouped together in school year age groups and rotate from class to class.
