“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.”

“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 the team
Meet our Principal
Hi, I’m Caryn – I’ve been with Drama Kids York for 18 years, 11 as Principal. I believe every child deserves to be nurtured as their own person, without pressure – just joy, encouragement and support. Watching them grow in confidence, creativity and performance is the best part of my job. I still teach 7 classes a week, alongside a brilliant, caring team (and help from my husband Jon backstage!). I hold a BA from Durham and LAMDA Grade VI, and was honoured to receive the CEO Award (2017), Franchisee of the Year (2022) and Inspiration Award (2024). It’s truly the best job in the world.
My favourite thing about Drama Kids is seeing our students support each other and hearing them say that in our classes they’ve found somewhere they belong.
The Teachers

Yasmin
Teacher
Yasmin LOVES theatre. After training as a primary school teacher Yasmin wanted to take what she’d learned and apply it to teaching drama. Her favourite part of Drama Kids are the students and the team around her. Everyone is so supportive and kind. It’s brilliant to meet so many creative students and have the privilege of working with them. Outside of the classroom Yasmin likes to be involved in theatre and has had lots of different roles from acting and directing to writing and set design. Yasmin is a published poet and wrote poetry for the Rugby World Cup. Yasmin is looking forward to passing on her passion for drama to the next generation and helping them build confidence in every aspect of their lives.
