Centre Stage School of the Arts was founded in 1999 by Peter Hodgson and Alison Tompkins with the mission to create an environment in which children can use drama to explore both the imaginative and the concrete world. Since then, the school has developed into a full performing arts centre and now offers creative programmes for babies and toddlers, drama, performance acting, musical theatre, dance, music and art and craft for children of all ages and adults too! Peter and Alison started their careers as two London based actors, and very soon found their work to be dominated by educational and children’s theatre. It was a natural progression then to build on experience and qualify as Speech and Drama teachers. Having always been involved in children’s theatre it was a labour of love to build a school based in drama, music and dance that would develop communication, group collaboration skills, confidence, imagination and creativity – a fantastic foundation for any child.
