Meet the team
Meet our Principal
Jane has been involved with theatre and drama for more than 40 years, ranging from school plays, youth theatre, professional school tours to amateur dramatics. When the opportunity arose to become part of the Drama Kids network, she grasped it with both hands.
Jane fell in love with drama from a very young age. She says:
“I caught the bug during drama lessons at school, did speech and drama exams, and then joined a club in the evenings. Drama is the most fun, and I have made many really good friends, but it is much more than that. It gave me confidence when meeting new people, and it helped me to stand up and present my ideas both at work and in social settings.
I am so proud of what we do at Drama Kids – giving the next generation the chance to find their own creativity, build their confidence and communication skills, and hopefully fill them with as much enthusiasm for it as I have.”

Teacher
Welcome to drama kids. I’m Nikki and I’m the drama teacher in our Orpington class. Iv always loved drama since I was little and went on to study performing arts and completed a BA hons in acting. I first started my drama kids journey as a student doing a placement, I was so taken back with the program and loved the fact that drama wasn’t just about making stars but helping each child grow in confidence, self esteem and making life long learners. Iv loved it so much that Iv now been a teacher for well over a decade and feel so blessed to have wonderful students that come each week on a journey with me #dramarocks

Dylan
Teacher
I’m Dylan, I joined Drama Kids as a student in January 2013, and became a teacher for Drama Kids in September 2019. I have been teaching for the Bromley branch since September 2024 and I have loved every second. What I love most about Drama Kids is how rewarding it is to see the children grow in confidence. It is one of the best life skills to have, and my classes will always be a place that the children can fully be themselves throughout.

“Thank you for being instrumental in improving Tamsyn’s confidence and for the great opportunities she has had in the shows. She has really enjoyed herself and is looking forward to the opportunities Redland High will give her for drama.”Parent – Drama Kids

“In school assemblies and plays, my son was usually relegated to the background. He was bright but lacked the confidence to speak up and be heard. Since being at the academy, he has bloomed and consequently had major parts in each successive school assembly.Thank you so much for instilling in my son the confidence to let his voice be heard and his presence be felt. Such confidence will be invaluable as he grows up and will help to prepare him for every aspect of life.”
