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.

“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. 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.”Parent – Drama Kids

“She absolutely lives for drama. She is having a tough time at school and not attending much at the moment due to severe anxiety, but your sessions bring out the happiest version of her.”
