WOAPA is a Children’s Drama School based in Witney for ages 4–16 years. We are open at weekends during the standard academic term. Providing quality tuition in the three disciplines of Singing, Dance and Drama, our class sizes are deliberately kept small to ensure that each child receives the individual attention they deserve. Our classes are led by experienced and enthusiastic tutors whose skills in working with young people enable our students to develop at their own pace, and encourage them to reach their true potential. With no entry auditions or previous experience required, whether your child dreams of a career in performing arts or simply wants to make new friends, WOAPA will boost your child’s confidence … and they’ll have loads of fun!

Each week, students attend three, 1hour sessions of drama, singing and dance. We promote a positive environment - where students have fun as they celebrate their individuality and achievements. Working as part of a team, students are encouraged to be creative and value the experience of working closely with others towards a common goal. Skills are developed and refined, enabling students to become multi-disciplined, all-round performers.

For our young performers (aged 4-6) all three elements of singing, dance and drama are combined in a weekly, 1-hour, fun-packed session. We offer the opportunity for kids to stretch their imagination and nurture their social skills including communication and concentration.

Watch as your child develops… • Increased confidence • Growing self-esteem • An expanding imagination • Creativity • Co-ordination AND a whole new set of friends!

Reports, Awards and Exams In order to share our students’ progress we arrange informal performances for families. Parents also receive written reports at regular intervals. WOAPA provides its own internal awards for achievement in class. For those students wishing to undertake more formal assessments, exams are arranged for both LAMDA and Arts Awards. Added benefits Students and parents have exclusive access to a member’s-only area on our website, listing details of auditions, theatre trips, special events, and more!
