The School trains children of all abilities and is run by the founder family, and many graduates of the school are invited back to where it all began for them, to impart their inspirational stories, to run workshops and share informal Q and A’s about their life in the arts.
As a family school we pride ourselves on our ability, together with our team of teachers and industry colleagues, to bring out the best in all children and as a parent of one of our leavers told us "It’s people who they will always remember, your amazing teachers, people who saw that the unique quality that defines the young artiste, and valued their contribution.”
We aim to be mentors for all our young performers and this is why we continue to ensure that we know each of our students , so we can be here to guide their unique journey through their Redroofs training.
We look forward to welcoming your family to Redroofs very soon!
Sincerely
Samantha and Carolyn
