Meet our Principal

Hello, I’m Emily Buckley. I hold a Diploma in Performing Arts and have achieved several LAMDA qualifications. Having been part of the company for 15 years, my journey has taken me from being a student to becoming Principal, giving me a genuine understanding of the positive impact drama can have on young people.

I know first-hand the confidence, creativity, and life skills that performing arts can inspire, and I’m passionate about helping every child discover their own potential.

My favourite part of teaching is creating a fun, supportive, and safe environment where children feel confident to express themselves, grow in self-belief, and develop a lifelong love of drama.
