“My children attend Drama Kids Derbyshire and I am overwhelmed by everything the academy has given my children; confidence, fun, memories, excitement and belief in themselves.”
Parent – Derbyshire

“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.”
Parent – North London
