BECAUSE DREAMS CAN COME TRUE!

Looking for a new full time school for September?
The Part Time School acts as a direct feeder to our Day School Department and many pupils make the transition from once-a-week classes into the full time school (years 5 to 11 plus 2 year college course)
Any parent with a child in a part time class here wishing to enquire about suitability of a pupil for our full time school or 16+ college should contact sam@redroofs.co.uk
Initial assessment can be made prior to spending a full day at the school or requesting an audition. We are always happy to make time to show parents around our full time school. Please visit us soon.

Please don't go looking for Redroofs in every town - you won't find us. Whether you choose one class a week or a selection of classes from our timetable we aim to offer a first class theatre training in comfortable class sizes.

All our Dance Classes are Graded - and all Musical Theatre Casses work towards Presentations and Performances. Our Drama Classes are confidence building and highly imaginative. Many of our pupils opt to join our long established Agency (pupils currently appearing in West End shows;
feature films - both featured and as extras); tv programmes and commercials. Last year saw the entire Dance and Musical Theatre Department performing up to 7 performances in the larger of our own two Theatres;

Our dancers work towards examinations - and we rank amongst the highest dance examination success record in the U.K;

We offer many exciting workshops including tv acting and movie making.All staff are CRB checked and experienced in working with Children and Young People.

Some of the lovely endorsements we have received recently:

"There is a unique positivity about Redroofs - whether your children are going to be Kate Winslets or not, don't overlook this gem right on the Maidenhead doorstep. My children are no gifts to the Stage - no fault of the training - just the genes, but Redroofs gave them untold confidence, and more than money can buy. Terrific investment."

“It is very difficult to put my finger on what made Redroofs such a special part of my life. I can only say that both my brother and I spent many happy years as part time pupils. Mum sent us along as a confidence building hobby, but it became much more than that. Without any question for the 6 years we were pupils we both looked forward to the classes more than anything else in the week and when the holidays came we were both there...signing up for “Let’s Put On A Show”! Now it’s my daughters turn!

“My children live and breathe Redroofs. If you don’t live close by I suggest you move!!! “

“Abi had very little self belief. After a term of Musical Theatre she was a different child. We are so grateful to you all for giving her confidence in her own abilities.”

"Thank goodness for Redroofs."

"One girl, one boy, one wannabe lawyer, one wannabe soap star. Redroofs was instrumental in creating success stories of both!"

“Just wanted to thank you all for “the time of my life”. The last eight years would have been very empty without Redroofs! “

“Max was a bit of a comedian at primary school and his teacher thought Redroofs might be good for him. Joining Redroofs has focussed his energies and his work has definitely improved.”
