The largest network of extra-curricular performing arts schools in the UK, Stagecoach provides singing, dancing and acting coaching for children grouped in ages 4-6, 6-15 and 15+. 

In preparation for the Autumn term, Stagecoach has introduced a robust range of safety measures in line with the government guidelines, and has plans to safely reopen 90% of the schools for in-person classes this month. 

Feedback from parents of Stagecoach students during lockdown has suggested that children have channeled their creativity to help them through a difficult period. Shirlie Duckworth, mum of students Frankie and Nate said, ‘During lockdown, both of my children genuinely found inspiration linked to their experiences from Stagecoach performing arts.
