About this class
Kings College School on West Road hosts a Perform holiday course rather than weekly term-time classes, so this is a self-contained five-day block rather than a rolling commitment. The summer course takes Peter Pan as its theme, running Monday 3rd to Friday 7th August, 10am to 3pm, with Producers Lauren and Sophie and Area Partner Oliver.
Each day is structured around Perform's three-part format, built on what the programme calls "The 4 Cs": Confidence, Communication, Concentration and Coordination. Children in the 4-7s group (aged 3 years 10 months to under 8) move through Move & Feel — dances, rapid-reaction games and yoga-inspired exercises — then Listen, Speak & Sing, where they learn specially composed songs, tongue-twisters and raps, and finally Create & Imagine, which brings character exploration, storytelling and role-play improvisations to the theme. The 7-12s group (aged 6 years 10 months to under 13) follows its own three sections: Dance & Movement, which builds from energetic group work into choreographed sequences; Speaking & Singing, developing vocal projection, articulation and basic musical reading; and Drama & Improvisation, covering focus work, character communication, physicality and accents.
The week closes with a mini-musical performance for parents, costumes and props included. Because this is a holiday course, full payment is due at the time of booking. If you need to cancel, the refund window matters: more than three weeks before the course starts, Perform credits your account with 50% of what you paid; between one and three weeks before, 50% is forfeited; less than one week before the start date, the full amount is forfeited. Childcare vouchers are accepted, and new customers can receive £30 off a first block of ten weekly classes by signing up to the Perform mailing list.

Common questions
Who can attend?
Both the 4-7s group (ages 4 years to 10 years to under 8) and the 7-12s group (ages 4 years to 10 years to under 13) are catered for. There is an overlap window between roughly 6 years 10 months and 8 years where either group might suit, depending on the child.
What does my child need to wear?
Children must purchase and wear the relevant Perform T-shirt to every session. Perform reserves the right to refuse admission without a refund if the T-shirt is not worn, so it is worth sorting this before the first morning.
Is there a performance parents can watch?
Yes. The holiday course closes with a mini-musical performance featuring costumes and props.
What are the cancellation terms for a holiday course?
Full payment is required at the time of booking. If you cancel more than three weeks before the course begins, Perform credits your account with 50% of the amount paid. Cancel between one and three weeks before and you forfeit 50%. Cancel less than one week before the start and you forfeit the full amount.
What does each day cover, and how are age groups split?
For 4-7s, each session has three sections: physical movement and dance (including yoga-inspired exercises), voice and singing work with specially composed songs and tongue-twisters, and storytelling with role-play improvisation. For 7-12s, the three sections cover choreographed movement building towards technical skills, vocal projection and basic musical reading with scope for solo roles, and drama and improvisation including character, physicality and accents. There are two Perform staff members in the room at all times.
How does Perform keep parents in the loop?
After every class, the Producer sends parents a weekly email detailing that session's focus and the activities and skills their child worked on. Personalised Feedback Forms covering progress across all three parts of the class are also issued regularly; every form is read and signed by Principal Lucy Quick.
