Perform Bursary Scheme
The Perform Bursary Fund is an independent not-for-profit scheme founded and run by local Perform parents. The scheme offers selected children free places at their local Perform school where a unique mix of drama, dance and singing is used to help develop their social skills and bring out their true potential.
The Scheme aims to provide up to 40 new full annual bursary places each term - i.e. 120 per year. We are currently inviting applications from the parents/ carers of 4-7 and 7-12 year old children who would benefit from the classes but are prevented from attending by financial constraints. In particular, children from disadvantaged backgrounds who are either:
- shy and lacking in confidence
- confident but unfocused
- gifted and talented in the performing arts.
Please click for more information on the Scheme's background, values and aims, priorities and delivery considerations or monitoring and evaluation practices.
Bursary application forms can be downloaded here.
Applications are now being accepted for the Spring 2025 term with a deadline of Saturday 30th November.
Elijah is always excited to go to Perform. He enjoys his time there, meeting other children and with Abby and Sammy. Even though Elijah is on the Autism spectrum, I'm happy with how he has settled in, he's communicating well and taking directions.
Perform has given my daughter so much confidence. It's like magic!
Amelie loves going to Perform and I like the weekly themes. Dealing with anger this week was a very relevant topic for Amelie! Oli is so enthusiastic and helped Amelie to fit in straightaway.
Abigail is wonderful - even though Ella just started, she feels comfortable and excited to go to class and I can tell that Abigail makes her feel special. It's been pretty amazing to see how quickly Ella has fallen in love with drama!
My daughter has so much fun in the class. She always looks forward to coming and leaves happy too. We can already see a difference in her, her confidence is growing and she is opening up more too.
Sadie is thrilled to be attending Perform! She looks forward to Monday every week. I’m so pleased she is part of a positive group that encourages her to work with others and improve herself.
The classes are great and have helped so much with Olly’s confidence. He loves coming every week.
The best class for my daughter. We are very happy with the progress and with the communication between Sam and us.
The classes are full of so much fun and Siya loves the songs! Siya talks fondly about her teachers, who have made Siya feel so welcome to the group. I’ve definitely seen an positive improvement in Siya’s confidence.
Yasmina’s confidence has really improved since starting Perform. The games are a hit and the teachers are so engaged and entertaining ! As a parent, I love the little ‘life lessons’- they're so important for their emotional and mental development.
