About this class
Classes at Holy Trinity Church Centre run on Wednesday afternoons during term time: 4–7s from 4pm to 5pm, 7–12s from 5:05pm to 6:05pm. The current term runs 15th April to 15th July, with no session on Wednesday 27th May.
Georgia is the teacher this term, with Joshua as Producer. Parents can expect a weekly email from Joshua setting out that week's focus, and a personalised written Feedback Form signed by Principal Lucy Quick.
Every one-hour session moves through three distinct sections. The 4–7s are currently working on the Mermaids & Pirates theme: physical work comes first — dances, rapid-reaction games and yoga-inspired movement exercises — followed by specially composed songs, tongue-twisters and raps, then character explorations, storytelling and role-playing improvisations. The 7–12s are working on The Dream, Perform's take on A Midsummer Night's Dream, developing vocal projection, physical presence and improvisation alongside group movement and singing. Each class is capped at 22 children and two Perform staff are present throughout.
The curriculum is built around what Perform calls the 4 Cs — Confidence, Concentration, Communication and Coordination — woven into every activity. Because the programme runs on a rolling curriculum, children can join at any point rather than waiting for a new term.
For families who want more over the summer holidays, a Peter Pan holiday course runs at this venue from Monday 10th to Friday 14th August (10am–3pm), led by Lewis and Lucy.
General note: performing arts classes like these typically give children repeated, low-stakes practice at speaking in front of others, listening as part of a group, and collaborating under mild creative pressure — transferable habits that tend to show up in everyday school life.

Common questions
Can my child try a session before we commit?
Yes — every child is entitled to a free trial class. You can book online, through the Perform website, or by phone.
What ages are the classes for?
Classes are split into two groups: 4–7s (Wednesdays, 4pm–5pm) and 7–12s (Wednesdays, 5:05pm–6:05pm). Within the 4–7s group, Perform deliberately mixes ages — younger children are stretched by the group dynamic and older ones develop early leadership skills by influencing activities. In the 7–12s group, previous experience and character tend to matter more than exact age.
What happens in a session?
Every class covers drama, dance and singing — each week with a different focus set by Producer Joshua's weekly email. This term the 4–7s are working on Mermaids & Pirates; the 7–12s on The Dream, based on A Midsummer Night's Dream. Sessions move through physical and coordination work, vocal and singing activities, and character or improvisation work. There are no more than 22 children per class, and two Perform staff are present throughout.
How are classes booked and paid for?
Classes are purchased in blocks of 10 or 20 sessions, 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. Perform does not offer refunds, but you can cancel with three days' notice and have the credit transferred to your account for future use. If a session is missed, a make-up system allows attendance at another Perform venue, subject to availability. New customers who join the mailing list receive £30 off their first block of 10 classes.
