About this class
Perform's Monday sessions at Storey's Field Centre sit neatly in the after-school slot: the 4–7s group runs 3:45–4:45pm, with the 7–12s class picking up straight afterwards at 4:50–5:50pm. Both groups are run by Sophie, who is listed as Producer and Area Partner for this venue. Classes are scheduled to begin on 14th September and run on Mondays throughout term time.
Each 60-minute session weaves together drama, dance and singing — structured around Perform's four pillars: Confidence, Concentration, Communication and Coordination. The 4–7s are currently working through the Mermaids & Pirates theme, which this term means setting sail on the good ship the Jammy Dodger. Dances, rapid-reaction games and yoga-inspired mirroring share the session with specially composed songs, tongue-twisters and character improvisations. The 7–12s class is tackling The Dream, Perform's take on A Midsummer Night's Dream, featuring Oberon, Titania and an assortment of footballers, pop stars and celebrities. Perform runs a rolling curriculum, so children can start at any point rather than waiting for a term to begin.
Class sizes are capped at 22, with two Perform staff in the room at all times. Parents receive a personalised written Feedback Form signed by Principal Lucy Quick, and a weekly email from the Producer covering that week's focus. Three times a year — at half-term Open Workshops and end-of-term Presentations — families are invited to see what their children have been working on.

Common questions
Can we try a session before signing up?
Yes — every child gets a free trial class. You can book through Perform's website by searching for Storey's Field Centre, or by calling the office directly.
Which age groups does this venue cater for?
The Monday sessions cover two groups: 4–7s (3:45–4:45pm) and 7–12s (4:50–5:50pm). In the younger group, mixed ages work in each other's favour — smaller children are stretched and stimulated by the group while older ones gain informal leadership experience. In the 7–12s class, previous experience and character count for more than an exact birthday.
How are classes booked and paid for?
Sessions are purchased in blocks of 10 or 20, with options to renew to the end of term or pay monthly by Direct Debit. A bursary scheme is available, and Perform accepts childcare vouchers. Refunds are not offered, but cancellation with three days' notice transfers the credit to your account for future use. New customers who join Perform's mailing list receive £30 off their first block of 10 classes.
What actually happens in a session?
Each class brings together drama, dance and singing, with a different focus each week. The 4–7s work through three sections: movement and games (dances, rapid-reaction exercises, yoga-inspired mirroring); songs and vocal work (specially composed songs, tongue-twisters, raps); and character and storytelling (improvisations, role-play, character exploration). The 7–12s cover acting and improvisation, movement and dance, and speech and singing — with vocal projection and ensemble work throughout. Perform composes its own songs, games and dances within each term's theme.
What if we have to miss a session?
Missed sessions cannot be added on to the end of a block under any circumstances. There is a make-up system that lets children attend a session at a different Perform venue, subject to availability, as long as they are still enrolled.
