Celebrating 40 Years of Inspiring Children to Imagine, Create and Shine.

Our Acting classes are designed to help young people build confidence, adaptability, and creativity through drama. Taught in a safe and supportive environment, students explore character development, script work and improvisation while learning to collaborate with others.

Acting strengthens emotional awareness, communication skills, and resilience, valuable tools both on stage and in everyday life.

Tutor: Dr Suzann McLean, MBE

By developing imagination and versatility, we help shape thoughtful, dynamic young performers ready to take on any stage and shine.

Join us in celebrating 40 years of artistic excellence and become part of the Theatre Peckham community.

If you wish for your child to enrol for our in-house exam for this class, please contact our Academy Coordinator, membership@theatrepeckham.co.uk.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PARENTS/CARERS: if your child is 7 years old in September 2026, but turning 8 years between September 2026– December 2026, please sign them up for this class. Students must stay in the same class in which they have signed up at the start of the academic year. Parents should not change the class of their child, unless instructed by an academy team member.

PLEASE NOTE: Our Academy team supports each young person in finding the class and learning environment that best supports their development. Following attendance and tutor observation, we may occasionally feel that a different Academy class would better support a student’s learning, confidence or wellbeing. Where this is the case, we will discuss our observations with the parent/carer and, where appropriate, the Academy may decide that a change of class is the most suitable next step for the young person.
