Pauline Quirke Academy comes to Bexhill Academy – free open day for budding performers

Bexhill Academy is delighted to be the new home of the Pauline Quirke Academy (PQA) in Bexhill, offering professional performing arts training to young people aged 6–18. PQA will now be running its Bexhill sessions using our excellent facilities, giving local children and teenagers the chance to explore acting, musical theatre and filmmaking in a supportive, high-quality environment.

As part of their arrival in Bexhill, PQA have generously offered two scholarships for Bexhill Academy students — a fantastic opportunity for young people in our school community to access specialist performing arts provision.

Dr Craig Neal, Headteacher at Bexhill Academy, said:

“We are incredibly proud to provide a space where young people can explore their creativity and confidence. Hosting PQA Bexhill adds real value to our community and reflects our wider belief in creating the best opportunities for all.”
