 Our summer Schools give children aged from reception age to 16 years old the chance to take part in all aspects of putting on and performing in a fully produced show in a week.  Rehearsals begin on Monday and the show takes place on Friday

With Lots of parts for everyone  - Girls, Boys, younger and older students.  There are speaking, singing and dancing parts for all ages and abilities so everyone has plenty to do big or small.  The script is lively and the songs catchy and especially adapted for the children taking part.

This year the week will be directed by Penny Lambert together with our team of teachers and guest teachers - all highly experienced and qualified in their field - all are CRB checked and hold a current first aid certificate.  The staff are assisted by x-students who are studying performing arts at University or at vocational colleges.

 Children rehearse from Monday to Thursday and then on Friday we have our dress rehearsal in the afternoon followed by our very popular sausage and chip picnic supper before their big performances.

Many friendships are made and children of all age groups return year after year to see each other. Our summer school is open to everyone not just WATA Students and last time we welcomed children from France, Spain and New Zeland! Please bring your siblings along too !!
