Our curriculum
Our classes for 4-7s last one hour on weekdays after school and 90 minutes on Saturday mornings and afternoons.
The classes are divided into three parts and, at weekends, include a short break.
Move & Feel – encompasses dances, rapid reaction games and yoga-inspired mirroring exercises. All the activities in this section focus on the children developing good coordination, balance and core stability as they grow. They'll also enjoy greater self-assurance, improved posture and confidence to participate in physical activities.
Listen, Speak & Sing - the children learn specially composed songs, tongue-twisters and raps. Fun modern words and a humorous approach means this section is ideal for boosting children’s confidence, concentration and communication skills, all while establishing focus within the group and giving shy children a chance to shine.
Create & Imagine - the drama-based part of the class. The most enjoyable way for your child to learn is through play so we use lots of specially developed exercises such as character explorations, storytelling and role-playing improvisations. This session will really help to improve children’s attention at school as it develops concentration, imagination and speaking skills in a fun and imaginative way.
Each term there is a new theme such as The Jungle, Outer Space or Under The Sea and children receive a colourful sticker poster which they complete week-by-week before performing a presentation on the last day. To help the children to learn the songs and dances at home, there is a new themed CD each term plus videos and a free mobile app available.
Polina is very happy to go to Perfom every Tuesday. She is so proud to have been given a main role. You a doing a really good job. Big thanks to Grace and Kieron for everything they do for our children!
Our daughter always wanted to dance & sing infront of people but was never brave enough. Now she has found her voice, is making new friends & is developing new social skills. We feel Perform has really helped her grow into a confident, caring, and considerate person.
We started Perform because we wanted to build Arlo’s confidence. Stephanie made a big effort to connect with him and he has loved every single session so far. He is very proud of going to Perform and looks forward to it all week.
My aim for this class was to help Daisy be more confident and I feel like it’s definitely helping. Although it’s only been a few weeks Daisy enjoys going and shows all the family what she has learnt each week.
I can see the difference in Faith's development. She is more confident to speak up & make a conversation with anyone. She has become more articulate & is very driven by her character. Faith enjoys practicing at home, which makes her more engaged to do future challenging activities.
Ronnie-may really enjoys herself and her confidence has came on leaps and bounds.
Maxime loves coming and is looking forward to it every week.The teachers are absolutely amazing; encouragingly motivating all of the children, even the not so confident ones.Thank you so much for all of your hard work and the time that you invest in helping children to grow every day.
It's been only few weeks and what they did with my child is amazing. I never thought that he would be able to join in with group activities in front of an audience. Karen is such a warm, caring person and truly wants to get the best out of each child. Her connection with children is amazing. Thank you so much for giving my children this opportunity. Opportunity to shine!
The teachers have been very informative and I love their passion and enthusiasm at every class. I think Perform can only be a positive for Dylan who struggles in a few areas with confidence and patience. We are definitely glad we found this class.
The girls absolutely love Perform! Lottie has just started and was so excited to be able to join in, and Emma-Lily has thrived in this class. It has helped her develop her confidence to be able to perform in front of an audience but also in class assemblies and with her peers.
Sophie and Haley are brilliant with the children. Zac is a sensitive child and the drama classes have really brought him out of himself. Perform is the highlight of his week!
It's such a complete joy to see Samuel smiling and so looking forward to coming to Perform!
Elisa has only been attending a few weeks but is loving it and I was blown away by her confidence in their show yesterday.
Lola is really enjoying the classes and I see her confidence growing already! Thank you to all at perform, for helping her feel comfortable and have fun whilst learning and building her confidence. The classes really are making a difference!
Aaliyah has loved her classes at Perform and today I watched the show. It was amazing! Aaliyah’s confidence wowed me. Previous shows she has taken part in she has been really nervous but this time she was calm and totally in control.
Selina loves her Perform sessions! At the end-of-term performance, she had few lines and even a solo (she only joined the group three weeks ago), we’ve never seen her so confident on stage.
Kalila really enjoys her lessons, she comes home from them full of energy and is very motivated to learn her lines. I can already see an increased level of self-confidence in her and I love the element of life skills coaching that the classes provide.
Mia has absolutely come on leaps and bounds during her time at Perform! From being a very quiet and shy girl, Mia has blossomed so well and thoroughly loves her lessons and shows. Her confidence also radiates to all other aspects of her life. Amazing!!
I want to cry (with happiness!) as I write this. Both my children are on the autistic spectrum. Callum and Lucy are so fun and kind and talented, and the programme is so engaging, that my two can't wait to go in and are enjoying this more than anything else they do. It also seems to be a useful format to help autistic children with social communications. Thank you!
Perform is my children's favourite hour of the week. They have a lot of fun and learn so many useful things for life. Jessica and Grant are absolutely fantastic, they have so much energy, are very friendly and professional. I would recommend Perform to everyone!
Perform is a revelation for my fairly shy and quiet twins who at times seem to lack the confidence to be heard in groups. Such an amazing class and it's even more amazing watching their confidence grow as they develop new skills.
Roberto absolutely loves Perform! He asks at least three times a week, "Mummy, is it Perform today"? I can hardly believe how quickly he has taken to it and even his school teacher has noticed a difference in his confidence. We are delighted he is enjoying it so much.
Oliver has really enjoyed Perform. He has only had good things to say about the classes. It is apparent that the teachers are very enthusiastic and work hard to involve all of the children.
Both girls love Abi, and her energy and enthusiasm is infectious. Both girls look forward to their classes and their comfort in performing in front of an audience has improved fantastically.
Alice was so shy and sheepish when she started, but Perfom has been amazing for her confidence and self esteem - even the school have commented on the improvement. All three of my children attend and Hannah always has time for each individual child and their parents. I really can't praise the team enough!
I have been really impressed with the confidence that Perfom has given Mary. Within 5 weeks she was standing in front of an audience singing her Rapunzel song! She loves coming to Perform.
Harrison has loved all of the classes so far. I am really happy to know he is enjoying himself, improving his confidence and developing so many other interpersonal skills too!
Isabella really enjoys her classes and is always on a "high" afterwards (for the whole day!). I can see already how her confidence has grown. Thank you!
Dexter has found Perform brilliant, he loves going and I have seen real improvements in his ability to concentrate and retain information
George is quite anxious in new settings and Lisa-Marie has been great in helping him to find his feet at Perform. He thoroughly enjoys the classes and is gaining in confidence from week to week.
Both my daughters adore perform and we are delighted with the quality. We are both from academic backgrounds and really admire your attention to detail and child development. We couldn't be happier.
Ella loves perform! Her school teacher has remarked that she has started to use much more expression in her reading and I'm certain that this is thanks to Perform.
Anja is enjoying the classes very much, and I've already noticed more confidence in Anja speaking to adults using her loud and clear voice :-)
Wonderful, exactly what my eldest needed to boost her confidence at the awkward " self awareness" stage of development, she can't wait to get there each week.
Perform has helped my shy daughter come out of my shell and gives my outgoing son an outlet for his exuberance (which can sometimes be frowned on at school). We all love it.
Alana is really enjoying it and I feel that it is helping her to express herself. I noticed that her speaking is clearer.
I have noticed that Beatriz finds it easier to learn her lines for her school plays, she is confident and loves going to Perform.
I love the content and the social skills that my child is being taught. He is now running in to class after having to be peeled off my husband for the first couple of weeks.
I love that the priority with Perform is the development & well being of each child rather than pushing them to "perform" without considering their enjoyment. Both of my children are so happy in class and develop week on week.
I love the way that they respond to Leo's specific needs and encourage him to speak out, to move and dance and build his confidence through such positive responses to his efforts.
Every activity at Perform is designed to develop one of The 4 Cs - Confidence, Concentration, Communication or Coordination.
