Speaking Skills and Training for Children

Skills and abilities

That's why good oral communicators do better at school, find it easier to make friends and tend to be more successful in life.

Perform encourages speaking confidently

The chances are that your child spends most of their time at school on reading and writing skills. However, as an adult, you'll know that most of your interactions with other people require you to speak and listen well.

That's why good oral communicators do better at school, find it easier to make friends and tend to be more successful in life.

The performing arts are well known for helping children to speak more clearly, listen more attentively and develop a wide vocabulary. It doesn't take long to see results either. After just an hour a week at Perform, you'll notice the difference in your child.

Castiel is enjoying it Perform much and I can see his confidence growing with each class. It's a real heart warmer when he comes home and tells us what he has done. The teachers do a brilliant job and I am so happy they are teaching my child. You are all wonderful!

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.

Sian is a different child since joining Perform. For quite some time, her confidence and self esteem were low. It was a battle to get her to try anything new. We have all seen an amazing difference with Sian. She is enthusiastic, energetic, and most important to us 'happy.'
