At Perform Whetstone at St Mary Magdelen's Parish Hall, our focus is not about teaching rigorous techniques, memorisation and repetition to produce a 'perfect performance'. Instead, we use drama-based games, exercises, songs and dances in an imaginative and fun way to help boost child development.

We started running classes at St Mary Magdelen's Parish Hall in January 2006 and are currently here every week during term-time on Tuesdays.

At Perform Whetstone, the Producer of the classes is Emma and the Teacher is Scarlett. The sessions are looked after by our Area Partner, Hannah.

The current term runs from 1st September to 15th December with no sessions on 27th October (half-term).

Creative Team

We spend a lot of time recruiting, training and evaluating our wonderful Area Partners, Producers and Teachers and the team at St Mary Magdelen's Parish Hall in Whetstone are no exception. As at all Perform schools, they have all been hand-picked for being enthusiastic, approachable and, of course, fantastic with children. As a result, you can be confident that your child is in the best of hands. Here are the details of the Creative Team at this venue:

PRODUCER
Emma - Producer
Emma
My name is Emma and I've been running Perform classes since 2020. I love watching children build their confidence through drama, singing and dancing, just as I did at their age! One of my greatest achievements at Perform was watching a child go from being scared to enter the room to taking on the main role in our show.
TEACHER
Scarlett - Teacher
Scarlett
I've been a part of the Perform team since 2025. I love working at Perform because it's so rewarding seeing the children's confidence grow. They bring so much joy and laughter and watching their personalities shine is so special. Outside of Perform, I love making costumes for shows; my favourite is the mad hatter!
AREA PARTNER
Hannah - Area Partner
Hannah
I've been part of the Perform family since 2015 and work as an Area Partner and Producer. I also oversee our LAMDA classes and deliver SEN training. My favourite part of the job is making children laugh and creating a safe space where they can thrive. Outside of Perform, you'll usually find me reading, walking my dogs or learning something new. I'm particularly interested in Psychology and History!
