Creative Team

We spend a lot of time recruiting, training and evaluating our wonderful Area Partners, Producers and Teachers and the team at Newnham Croft Primary in Newnham 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

Lauren

I have been working with Perform since 2022. I love using my experience as an actress and writer to encourage the children to use their big imaginations and always give every activity a try. When I am not teaching, you will find me writing plays or performing in my improvisation group. I absolutely adore being creative!

TEACHER

Victoria

I've been teaching at Perform since the start of 2025. I love working at Perform because it creates such a fun and supportive atmosphere for children to grow and develop - their progress every term always amazes me! I also love performing in productions for all the family to enjoy. My favourite role so far would have to be Cinnamon in LaplandUK, bringing the magic of Christmas to everyone!

AREA PARTNER

Sophie

I'm a Perform Teacher, Producer and Area Partner. I trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and alongside working for Perform have appeared in many television programmes for the BBC and Channel 4. Recently, I've been in several of the Perform shows in the West End! What I love about teaching for Perform is seeing how much children change during their time with us. It is a joy to see children having so much fun as they are learning!

I have been incredibly impressed with Lucy from the very first phone call after we booked the trial session. I think she's genuinely amazing. Watching how she and Samantha handle and engage the class is brilliant.
