Arts Award


Stagecoach is proud to be an Arts Award supporter!

Our classes contribute towards Arts Awards at Discover, Explore, Bronze, Silver and Gold. 

Generally your child will be completing their Arts Award with their school, Scout/Guide or other youth group, but all of their Stagecoach experience will contribute towards the "Take Part in the Arts" element of Arts Award through our singing, dancing and drama classes. 


The above opportunities are available at selected schools across the UK. Please speak to your local Principal for more information.
