“Our boy is 11 and has oral dyspraxia, which affects his ability to speak clearly and his short-term memory. Drama Kids has been awesome, the staff are so helpful and understanding of our son’s difficulty and he has always had a proper speaking part, even during the early years. Thank you Drama Kids for helping our son thrive and grow into a confident young man.”

Meet our Principal
Glyn Owen and Claire Keppie have run Drama Kids (formerly the Helen O’Grady Drama Academy) for over 20 years. We first met at East 15 Acting School in London and worked professionally in theatre, film, and TV before discovering our shared passion for teaching through Theatre in Education. Inspired by the confidence drama builds in young people, we returned to Edinburgh to open our own school. Since then, we’ve taught thousands of children in a fun, supportive environment where they grow in confidence and creativity. Our mission is simple: to help every child find their voice through the joy of drama.
