   My girls have had the best time at PQA Abingdon. One in the younger Poppets class and one in the main academy. The eldest had the amazing experience of performing in the West End. An opportunity she will never forget. The academy is incredibly well run, and as a parent juggling multiple activities the regular and clear communication from the school was most appreciated. 5 star recommendation from us!

   My daughter has thrived since joining PQA Abingdon. She looks forward to going every single week and always comes home full of energy and excitement about what she’s learned. Her confidence has grown so much, and it’s been wonderful to see her embrace every opportunity that comes her way, including the incredible chance to perform on a West End stage! What I really value is that PQA doesn’t just focus on performing in front of the camera or on stage, but also gives students a real insight into the world behind the scenes. It’s such a well-rounded experience that builds skills for life as well as for the arts. Jenna and the whole team at PQA Abingdon are so supportive and encouraging. They bring out the best in every child, no matter their starting point, and create an environment where everyone feels valued and inspired. We couldn’t be happier to be part of the PQA family!

   Our son has been attending Poppets since he turned 4 last year and it has quickly become the highlight of his week. It's helped so much with his confidence and personal development. The Academy itself has such a vibrant, fun and friendly atmosphere and this came across in the quality of all the films showcased at the event run at Vue Oxford last year. Watching our son have the chance to walk down the red carpet and be interviewed on stage was a real standout moment!

   My 13 year old son attends PQA Abingdon, he loves all the classes - particularly the comedy sessions. He always heads to his Friday evenings with huge enthusiasm and comes away chatting away about the last 3 hours! The teachers are all professional and nurturing. He also has found a lovely new group of like minded friends. PQA have also offered him lots of opportunities outside of the 'studio' since he started in September. I would highly recommend PQA Abingdon.

   Our children absolutely LOVE PQA Abingdon - they were cautious initially about performing but the enthusiastic and caring team made them feel so welcome. The variety of acting, dance and production (behind the camera) meant there was something which appealed to both of them - giving them options when they felt less confident. We wouldn’t highly recommend Jen and her amazing team - you just have to see the smiles on the childrens’ faces when they leave.
