Here at the Helen O' Grady drama academy we focus on bringing the best out of every student and in order to do this we need to foster an environment where every single participant feels valued and respected.
Through our curriculum we encourage students to explore the activities put before them, whether it be individual or group work, in such a way that encourages social cohesion, respect and positivity. Additionally every teacher is trained within the Helen O'Grady methodology which fosters a positive and appraising ethos centred on praising the students for their good behaviour rather than reprimanding them for the bad.
The result is a wonderfully dynamic, warm and friendly learning environment where students excel at their own pace and always have a welcoming, smiling face to greet them at the door to success. They know what is expected of them and most importantly can express themselves and have fun without the fear of self-consciousness or the thought of "being wrong". As one student expressed; "I was made to feel so welcome, like a family, from the very first day".
We are in the game to build you up not to break you down and that is why parents and students alike rave about our self-development programme- we really do care!
