I&#8217;ve been with Drama Kids for over a year now as a Principal. Being in the classroom is where I belong, and it is when I can be myself &#8211; just like I encourage the children to be! As a primary school teacher and support staff for 8 years, I have seen the huge impact a creative activity, like Drama, can be for children. As an autistic individual, Drama Kids has allowed me as a Principal to find the place I belong, and the place I can shine. I love being the loudest person in the room, but our classes allow each child to shine in their own unique way! I am proud to be the Principal of an amazing community that allows children to feel supported, celebrated and inspired. I cannot wait to welcome you into our class at Drama Kids!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                            \n\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"justify-center flex-wrap text-button flex gap-4 h-fit flex flex-wrap mwb-buttons\">\n                        \n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"tel:07547 262 693\" target=\"\" \n   class=\"flex justify-center gap-2.5 items-center btn black py-3 px-6  \">\n            <i x-html=\"MWBIcons.telephone\" class=\"flex w-5 h-5 max-h-full max-w-full fill-white \"><\/i>\n        <span class=\"font-bold tracking-[1.09px] text-white\">07547 262 693<\/span>\n    <\/a>\n                        \n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"mailto:aylesbury@dramakids.co.uk\" target=\"\" \n   class=\"flex justify-center gap-2.5 items-center btn transparent border-b-2 border-t-0 border-x-0 rounded-none px-2 border-black py-2 underline \">\n            <i x-html=\"MWBIcons.email\" class=\"flex w-5 h-5 max-h-full max-w-full fill-black \"><\/i>\n        <span class=\"font-bold tracking-[1.09px] text-black\">Email me<\/span>\n    <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n                                                                <ul class=\"flex justify-center gap-4 md:mt-12 md:hidden\">\n                            \n                                <li class=\"\">\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DramakidsAylesburyandLeightonBuzzard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"flex items-center justify-center text-link text-tertiary text-3xl\" title=\"Follow us on \">\n                                        <i x-html=\"MWBIcons.facebook\" class=\"w-8 h-8 fill-tertiary\"><\/i>\n                                    <\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n\n                            \n                                <li class=\"\">\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dramakidsaylesbury\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"flex items-center justify-center text-link text-tertiary text-3xl\" title=\"Follow us on \">\n                                        <i x-html=\"MWBIcons.instagram\" class=\"w-8 h-8 fill-tertiary\"><\/i>\n                                    <\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n\n                                                    <\/ul>\n                       \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"showtestimonials mwb-block\">\n        <div class=\"relative flex justify-center w-full\">\n\n            \n                \n                <div class=\"carousel-container w-full\">\n                    <div class=\"carousel full-width\">\n                        <ul class=\"flex flex-row flex-wrap fade-inactive-slides\"\n                            data-slick='{&quot;arrows&quot;:false,&quot;adaptiveHeight&quot;:false,&quot;dots&quot;:true,&quot;infinite&quot;:true,&quot;slidesToShow&quot;:1,&quot;slidesToScroll&quot;:1,&quot;mobileFirst&quot;:true,&quot;appendDots&quot;:&quot;.testimonial-slick-dot-cont-block_f6c172959be66786c8335eb8236e708e&quot;}'\n                            data-slick-arrow-prev=\".arrow-prev-block_f6c172959be66786c8335eb8236e708e\"\n                            data-slick-arrow-next=\".arrow-next-block_f6c172959be66786c8335eb8236e708e\"\n                        >\n\n            \n                                                    <li class=\"h-full\">\n                                <article class=\"tease tease- h-full\" id=\"tease-\">\n        <div class=\"h-full relative\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\">\n        <meta itemprop=\"reviewBody\" content=\"\"My son had a wonderful time!
