Drama Kids Academy Testimonials

We get fantastic business support alongside a unique curriculum which is so much fun to teach. We are lucky to have a network full of ideas to always continue growing our business. It also allows me to have a good work/life balance, being able to raise a family and do a job I love. Working with the students is the highlight of each day, seeing them grow in confidence over the years is so rewarding.

Katie Anderson, Principal, Gloucestershire

I have been Principal for 10 years now. Before this I was a teacher at the academy for 2 years. Every year feels fresh and exciting as ever, with updates to the classes and welcoming new faces. I still teach students now from when I first started and it's been special seeing them grow. Our TA used to be a student too, as she's never wanted to leave. It really feels like a family.

Andréa Wright, Principal, St. Helens & North Cheshire

Being a franchisee for Drama Kids means I can support my family by doing what I love! Nurturing children, helping them grow and develop in confidence and creativity.
