About this class
Kings College School, West Road hosts both of Perform's weekly drama programmes: the 4–7s class and the 7–12s class, each following a curriculum shaped around where children are developmentally rather than shoe-horning mixed abilities into a single track.
Every session combines drama, dance and singing. For the 4–7s, a class moves through three sections: physical warm-up games and yoga-inspired movement, which build coordination, balance and core stability; specially composed songs and tongue-twisters, which boost confidence, concentration and communication; and character explorations, storytelling and role-play improvisations, which develop imagination and speaking skills. This summer the 4–7s theme is Mermaids & Pirates. The 7–12s, meanwhile, are working through The Dream — Perform's take on A Midsummer Night's Dream — structured around acting and improvisation, movement and dance, and speech and singing. Class size is capped at 22 children, and two Perform staff members run every session.
The confirmed booking at Kings College School right now is the summer holiday course: Peter Pan, running Monday 3rd to Friday 7th August, 10am–3pm. Open to children aged 4–10, it can be booked as a three-, four- or five-day option and will be run by Lauren and Sophie, with Area Partner Oliver overseeing the week.
Perform uses a rolling curriculum, so when regular term-time classes open at this venue, children can join at any point rather than waiting for a fixed start date. Each week, parents receive a personalised written feedback form from their class Producer — signed by Principal Lucy Quick — along with a weekly email detailing that session's focus.

Good to know
Common questions
Can we try a session before signing up?
Yes. Every child is entitled to a free trial class before any commitment is made. You can book online, through the class Producer, or by phone — search for the Kings College School venue on Perform's website.
Which age groups does this venue serve?
Both the 4–7s and 7–12s programmes are offered at Kings College School. The 4–7s class uses a mixed age range: younger children are stretched and stimulated by the group, while older ones gain leadership skills from influencing how activities unfold. For the 7–12s, previous experience matters less than character and readiness to join in.
How are classes booked and paid for?
Classes are purchased in blocks of 10 or 20 sessions. You can also renew to the end of term at a slightly higher per-class rate, or pay monthly by Direct Debit. A bursary scheme is available, and Perform accepts childcare vouchers. New customers who join the mailing list receive £30 off their first block of 10 classes. Perform does not offer refunds, but sessions cancelled with at least three days' notice generate credit that can be applied to future Perform products.
What happens in a typical session?
Each class combines drama, dance and singing. Sessions follow Perform's "4 Cs" framework — Confidence, Concentration, Communication and Coordination — woven into every activity. The theme changes each term, with individual weekly focuses keeping things fresh. Class size is limited to 22 children, and two Perform staff members are present throughout.
Are there performances parents can attend?
Three times a year, family and friends are invited to half-termly Open Workshops and end-of-term Presentations where children share what they have learnt. Holiday courses include their own mini-performances.
