Children's drama classes in Highbury
Looking for fun, high-energy drama classes in Highbury? Located in the heart of Islington, just moments from Highbury Fields and a short walk from Arsenal and Highbury & Islington stations, Perform offers dynamic performing arts sessions for local children.
Held at St John's Highbury Vale Primary School on Conewood Street, our term-time sessions combine drama, dance and singing to help children build life skills. Whether your 4-7 year old is taking their first steps in boosting confidence, or your 7-12 year old is eager to focus on public speaking, expression and coordination, our enthusiastic teachers foster a supportive, creative environment.
We run weekly mid-afternoon and early evening groups on Tuesdays and Thursdays, perfect for families living near Blackstock Road, Drayton Park and Highbury Barn. Every session uses original songs and exercises to help every child shine. Join us at Maberley Hall for a free trial class and see how Perform can unlock your child's potential.
The Highbury group benefits from Perform's specially designed resources, including original songs, scripts and games tailored to encourage children's imaginations and development. These exclusive materials ensure every session is fresh, engaging and aligned with our child-centred approach to building confidence and life skills.
Our unique performing arts-based curriculum is designed around what we call "The 4 Cs", Confidence, Concentration, Communication and Coordination. These core areas are essential for personal and academic success and we weave them into every game, exercise and performance.

We offer drama classes for 4-7s and 7-12s.
Yes absolutely! Perform requires no prior experience in drama, dance or singing. Our classes are a unique mix of games, exercises, songs and dances that every child can enjoy as soon as they start. All we ask for is enthusiasm and an open mind.
As we are centrally run and not a franchise, all of our classes follow the same structure. For 4-7s, that means we start with Move & Feel, move on to Listen, Speak & Sing and finish with Create & Imagine. 7-12s start with Acting & Improvising, proceed to Movement & Dance and conclude with Speech & Singing.
Yes of our 60 minute and 90 minute classes include equal sections for drama, dance and singing.
In Highbury, we have classes that run after-school only. There may be classes that run at weekends in nearby areas such as Finsbury Park, Islington, Old Street, Hackney and Crouch End.
Yes, Perform specializes in what we call the 4 Cs: Confidence, Concentration, Communication and Coordination. That means that every game or activity we do in the classes has building one of those Cs as its objective.
All of our weekly classes finish the term with a specially-written presentation to family and friends on the last week. Children receive the script for this around half-term and every child is guaranteed a role.
The main difference is that, unlike other children's drama schools that focus on perfecting steps, memorizing lines or vocal technique, Perform harnesses children's natural enthusiasm, creativity and teamwork skills to boost their social skills and bring out their potential via the performing arts.
Classes and courses are kept small to ensure lots of individual attention by our expert teachers - hand-picked for their warmth, energy and professionalism. They'll focus on your child's enthusiasm and engagement in the activities. And they'll be with your child every step of the way to guide, inspire and encourage.
