The Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts Sutton Coldfield

Unforgettable experience of an unprofessional, dragging and overall pretty rubbish experience. You are pushed with a lazy apathetic attitude that overall just stresses you out. This is portrayed as an industry but is rather a merry go round that you call acting. An example would be only participating in one show, out of being there for a whole year) that was directed terribly and more over last minute. £88 a month to go to an academy that simply doesn’t excel to its expected standards. If you want to find a place that will build your confidence and make friends, this is where to go to but if you are looking for something more professional, this is not the place to be looking at.( From a student who has been attending for a year)

My daughter has been attending for over a year, starting off in poppets" and moving up into "green group".We attended somewhere else beforehand that i wasnt sure about so i had some reservations but my daughter has a friend from school in the class so that helped guide us in.We love it at PQA

This is an amazing place. The staff are such lovely people, it has boosted my daughters confidence so much. They do amazing work and have great opportunities for children. I cannot recommend this place enough.

My 7 year old daughter started at poppets and has been attending now for 2 years. She loves it and the skills she is acquiring are so transferable and will really help her later in life. All the tutors are lovely but the Principal is exceptional, really hard working and genuinely cares about the kids.
