From enrolling to performing and making lifelong friends along the way
We pride ourselves on being industry leaders in the Performing Arts and Education and WestWay is recognised as one of the UK’s top performing art schools for children. WestWay won ‘Performing Arts School of the Year' at the 2022 Prestige Awards, is a finalst for 3 national awards and rated 5 stars on Facebook and Google.
WestWay was created by 3 young women with years of performing experience and qualifications in Education. WestWay’s mission was to create an accessible and world-class training programme for children. With this approach, we enable as many children as possible to experience theatre and become kind and exceptional performers.
TOP TRAINING
We’re proud to train students to an exceptional standard. They have performed on the West End, in Touring Productions, in top adverts and at Disneyland Paris this summer.
Our students have also been awarded full scholarships to top private schools and professional performing arts colleges.
ACCESSIBLE TRAINING
We have a strong scholarship programme, volunteer with local schools to provide free and accessible classes, and provide exceptional and professional support for many students with additional needs.
Our small and bespoke classes mean that all our children train in age and ability appropriate groups and there’s always a team member on hand for any additional support.
We also keep our prices low and classes are cheaper or inline with other schools in the area.
PERFORM
We believe children should have as many opportunities to perform as possible. Each term will end with a performance: A Showcase in December and March, and a musical production in July.
We also perform musicals, recitals, concerts and presentations in the holidays. All abilities are welcome!
our culture
Above all else we ensure our students lead with kindness and we are always so proud of the community they have helped WestWay build.
We stand for equality and inclusion and celebrate diversity. We are proud of our diverse school and the supportive and inclusive culture at WestWay.
