A Word from

Actor & Past student

“The most important thing is that you enjoy it. That’s what NPAS is about and why my time there was so important. The students are on their own individual journeys, whether it’s through Dance, Drama, Singing or Acting ….
NPAS provides them with a fantastic outlet for it all.”

– Colin Farrell

What parents are saying…

“I would like to congratulate you on an absolutely incredible show. We went to both shows and enjoyed every moment. There were so many talented children on stage and every class piece was outstanding. It meant so much to us that you cast our daughter as a narrator. She was so delighted to be cast and had such a wonderful experience during all her rehearsals and finally on stage in the Olympia. It was an incredible experience for her.

I never saw her happy as she was on the stage in the Olympia. She never stopped smiling. For the past few days she keeps telling me how much she misses the show. For months she has been talking about the show morning, noon and night. I think she has probably driven her teacher at school demented telling her about the show every day.

The NPAS has been a huge part of our family’s lives, our older boys have such happy memories of their time there. 

Our girls look forward all week to their classes on Saturday. They absolutely adore their classes with their amazing teachers and love meeting the wonderful friends they have made there. It is such a happy place and the girls always come out smiling and full of chat about the wonderful day they have had with NPAS.

I am so grateful to you all for what you have done for all my five children.

Overall though what makes NPAS so special is the people there. Thank you all so much!”

“I want to drop you guys this line about Louis’ 11am Musical Theatre class this morning.  My daughter  attended from our living room.

The class was fab and Louis’ energy was contiguous (even to me, from the kitchen). She had a great time and her 2 siblings, when they arrived home 10 mins before the end were agog with envy at what the class had built up to over the course of an hour.
 I know that it must be incredibly challenging to teach a bunch of kids online.  He really did a brilliant job and please pass along our commendations on how awesome we  think he is.
Obviously we would much much prefer to be having the class in person and are looking forward to when that will happen again. However one advantage of this is that I can see how the class unfolds and this insight is actually gorgeous.
Well done on creating a product that is just fabulous, in circumstances that are, to say the least, less than ideal.”
 Many thanks

“My 3 older kids went through this school and it was always a huge part of their lives. My eldest son is 20 soon and is still friends with the kids he met when they were only 7. My other 2 child the same. So it came as no surprise when my youngest daughter joined and loved it as much as they did. She does musical theatre, singing, tap, hip hop & contemporary & that’s just a few of the classes available. She is bouncing out of bed on a Saturday morning, super excited about the day ahead. The teachers are amazing and really make everyone feel like a super star. It’s learning how to sing and dance with your friends in the most fun environment. The day after her last day this term she said if there was going to be summer camps she could go to. I really cannot recommend this school highly enough. It’s magic to see your child grow in confidence every week.”
