Sunday Drama & Musical Theatre (Ages 4+)


Our vibrant Sunday classes are the heart of SSTA—a joyful blend of drama, dance, and singing in a fun, high-energy environment. These sessions are designed to boost confidence, ignite imagination, and bring out the best in every child.

Students take part in two exciting performance showcases each year, giving them the opportunity to shine on stage and share their achievements with friends and family. With age-appropriate groupings and plenty of individual attention, every child has the chance to grow in their own unique way—whether they’re stepping into the spotlight for the first time or refining their performance skills.

Friday Drama and LAMDA (Ages 8+)

Ideal for young actors who want to focus on the craft of acting, our Friday sessions dive deep into performance skills, including improvisation, character work, and scripted scenes.

This class is also an opportunity for students to take part in the prestigious LAMDA Acting Examinations. These nationally recognised qualifications not only build technical skill but also nurture essential life skills—such as public speaking, focus, discipline, and resilience. Whether students are working toward their first exam or preparing for higher grades, we provide expert guidance in a calm, supportive setting.

Monday MT Comp Team & LAMDA (Ages 8+)


Our Monday class is specially designed for committed performers ready to take their training to the next level. This dual-focus session is part Competition Team, part LAMDA coaching, giving students the chance to stretch their abilities in a more focused and challenging environment.

Members of the Comp Team work on small group and solo pieces for festivals and competitions, developing precision, teamwork, and performance polish. Alongside this, students receive tailored coaching for LAMDA Musical Theatre qualifications, with attention to voice, expression, and interpretation.

This class is ideal for young performers who are passionate about theatre and ready to push their potential while remaining in a nurturing and encouraging space.

LAMDA Classes will be available on a 1-to-1 or 1-to-2 basis by booking directly with Clare

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We’re here to help! Here are some of the things we’re most commonly asked. If you need more information, don’t hesitate to get in touch—we’d love to hear from you.

Not at all! Our classes are open to all experience levels. Whether your child is a complete beginner or already has a love for the stage, they are warmly welcomed into our inclusive, supportive environment. We tailor our teaching to suit each child’s needs—offering gentle encouragement for those just starting out, and exciting challenges for those ready to grow their skills even further.

We offer classes for children aged 4 to 16 years old. Students are grouped by both age and ability, ensuring they feel comfortable, supported, and appropriately challenged. This structure helps children form friendships with peers while developing at a pace that’s right for them—whether they’re learning the basics or preparing for advanced performance opportunities.

LAMDA stands for the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art—one of the UK’s most respected drama institutions. LAMDA exams are nationally recognised qualifications that help students develop core performance and communication skills.

At SSTA, students aged 8+ have the opportunity to work toward a LAMDA Acting or Musical Theatre exam through our Friday and Monday classes. These exams are a fantastic way to build confidence, focus, and presentation skills, all while earning a certificate that reflects their achievement.

Getting started is simple! Just fill out the contact form below, or get in touch with us directly via email or phone. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you have, arrange a free trial session, and help you find the right class for your child.

We look forward to welcoming you into the Sacred Space Theatre Arts family!

We recommend comfortable clothing that’s easy to move in—something your child can stretch, dance, and perform in without restriction. For footwear, plimsolls, jazz shoes, or trainers are ideal. Please also send your child with a labelled water bottle to keep them hydrated.

If there’s anything specific needed for performances or exams, we’ll always let you know well in advance.

Absolutely! Performance is at the heart of what we do. Students take part in two productions or showcase events each year, giving them the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience and celebrate their growth.

For those in our Competition Team, there may also be opportunities to perform in local festivals and competitions throughout the year.

That’s completely okay—and very normal!

Many children start out feeling a little unsure, and our nurturing approach is designed with that in mind. We take time to build trust, create a warm and welcoming environment, and help each child find their confidence in their own time.

In fact, we’ve seen some of our most reserved students become the boldest performers once they feel safe and supported.

At SSTA, every class is built around the values of inclusion, encouragement, and excellence. Whether your child wants to build their confidence, explore their creativity, or pursue recognised performance qualifications, we have a place for them here.
