We’ve already helped a child like yours
My daughter (11) has recently started attending all classes at PWA. She has been made to feel incredibly welcome, with support and encouragement from all of the staff who work there. As a teacher, I have noticed the extra special touches which make PWA stand out, such as personalised postcards and videos which motivate the children. The communication and admin side has also been impressive, everything has been responded to clearly, in a helpful and timely manner via email, messages and phone calls. In a month, my daughter has already made progress in her dance and flexibility skills and most importantly, looks forward to the classes and comes out very happy as she has had fun and made friends. We are looking forward to all of the other opportunities that PWA can offer, such as performances, adjudication and formal exams.
Matilda started PWA 5 years ago and it's the best decision she ever made ! It's a family ! All the instructors are so encouraging and supportive. Matilda has grown in confidence and her performances just get better and better ! She loves helping out with the younger students and recently became an ambassador which was her dream when she first started ! I highly recommend PWA
Our son has not only developed so many skills since becoming a member of PWA, he also enjoys every moment he spends there, which is a lot of moments!
My daughter attends Peploe-Williams Academy for over 4 years. She is 8 years old and she loves her Musical Theatre lessons. During pandemic they had online lessons and she never missed one single lesson. She took part in shows, LAMDA exams, ISTD exams and all of this helped her to build her confidence and to love performing on stage. This year she is taking part in a charity project and she will perform at Wycombe Swan Theatre. This achievement means so much to her and Miss Emma and all the teachers from Peploe-Williams Academy helped her to be courageous and go to auditions. I highly recommend Peploe-Williams Academy, it is the best decision you could make if you want your child to be trained by a very professional academy, in a fun and friendly environment.
Our daughter has been attending the Peploe-Williams Academy since she was very young - she attends Musical Theatre and dance classes weekly and loves every aspect of the experience at the academy. She loves to perform and her time at the academy has helped her to express her creativity, develop her skills and a level of confidence that will prove invaluable throughout her life.
Really friendly and welcoming! My daughter can be quite nervous when starting something new but everyone made her feel so at home, she absolutely loved it! Ive never seen such a huge smile on her face. Not only is it doing something that she loves but the class also teaches her great values
My daughter absolutely loves her dance classes with Peploe and its been wonderful to watch her grow in confidence.
My son started at PWA almost 3 years ago. It was the best decision I’ve made sending him there. Emma and her team have been fantastic. My son has developed and matured in every way. They give him the confidence and encouragement to go out on the stage and give it his all. The outstanding training he has received from Peploe Williams Academy has resulted in him being offered a place at both of the performing arts sixth forms he auditioned for. The support and guidance he has received from pwa has been invaluable and I can’t thank them enough for everything they have done for him. I highly recommend PWA.
We have had the pleasure of adjudicating several times for the Peploe Williams Academy. Not only do we consider this school the best place to bring your budding enthusiasts to train in the performing arts but also we believe there is nowhere quite like this academy where your children are trained properly. The training is apparent in every child, from their technique, to their posture and strong performances. It’s always a delight being invited to adjudicate for this academy as we know everyone will be amazing in every discipline in the performing arts.
My daughter attended PWA from the age of 5 until the end of Secondary school. She thoroughly enjoyed her time there and gained a huge amount in the development of her performance skills. The opportunities offered by PWA to students are superb, with high quality shows produced, dance events, adjudication and industry recognised qualifications such as LAMDA and ISTD, as well as specialist additional training such as classical voice. This has all contributed to building a positive foundation for what she hopes to do in her future career. Thank you to Emma and the team.
My daughter has been going to PWA since she was 5 and has gone from strength to strength. She is noticed, nurtured and encouraged and she feels safe to be her self there. I can highly recommend PWA and am grateful for their personal approach to teaching. For me it’s the right balance of stretch and safety to allow a child to try things and not be scared to make mistakes.
My daughter loves her class… learning great routines with the support and encouragement from her fantastic teacher. Thanks PWA
Every Saturday my daughter leaves her PWA classes with a beaming smile. She loves to sing and PWA allows her to practice and grow her passion for it. The teaching and management of PWA has the perfect balance of professionalism and nurturing for young people. I would highly recommend it.
