About this class
Perform has been running Saturday sessions at Lochinver House School since April 2026, with the current term running to 18th July. The two classes sit back-to-back on Saturday morning: 4–7s from 9:30am to 11:00am, then the 7–12s from 11:15am to 12:45pm. Teacher Sapphire and Producer Jessalyn lead the sessions, with Area Partner Jade a regular face — so children encounter the same people each week rather than unfamiliar faces.
Each session is divided into three structured sections. For the younger group, the first covers movement and balance — dances, rapid-reaction games and yoga-inspired mirroring exercises. The second focuses on specially composed songs, tongue-twisters and raps. The third section moves into character explorations, storytelling and role-playing improvisations. Older children in the 7–12s work through an equivalent three-part structure: acting and improvisation (vocal projection, physicality, accents), group movement and dance, then speech and singing — where small group sizes mean most children get a solo or featured moment. Every session has two Perform staff present and class sizes are capped at 22.
This summer, the 4–7s are aboard the Jammy Dodger in Mermaids & Pirates. The 7–12s are working through The Dream, Perform's version of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Themes change each term, and the whole curriculum is built around The 4 Cs — Confidence, Concentration, Communication and Coordination — woven into every activity.
Because Perform runs a rolling curriculum, children can join at any point rather than waiting for a new term to begin. Jessalyn sends parents a weekly email covering that session's focus, and each child receives a personalised feedback form — written by Jessalyn, signed by Principal Lucy Quick — detailing their progress.

Common questions
Can we try a session before signing up?
Yes — every child is entitled to a free trial class. You can book online through Perform's website, through Producer Jessalyn directly, or by phoning the office.
What ages does this class take?
The Saturday sessions at Lochinver House School cover children aged 4 to 12. The 4–7s class runs 9:30am–11:00am; the 7–12s runs 11:15am–12:45pm. In the 4–7s group, the mixed age range is deliberate: younger children are stretched by the group, while older ones gain informal leadership skills. In the 7–12s group, previous experience and character are more relevant than exact age.
How does booking work?
Classes are purchased in blocks of 10 or 20 sessions, with the option to renew to the end of term or pay monthly by Direct Debit. New customers who join Perform's mailing list receive £30 off their first block of 10 classes. A bursary scheme is available — contact the office for details. Childcare vouchers are also accepted.
What if we miss a session?
Missed classes cannot be added to the end of a block. Perform does operate a make-up system: if your child is still enrolled, they can attend an equivalent session at another venue, subject to availability.
What does a typical Saturday session involve?
Each class covers drama, dance and singing, structured into three sections per session. Activities change week to week within a single termly theme — this term Mermaids & Pirates for the 4–7s and The Dream for the 7–12s. Three times each year, families are invited to half-termly Open Workshops and end-of-term Presentations to see what the children have been working on.
