Our 90-minute Early Stages classes run alongside the main Stagecoach schools, giving young performers the chance to learn key skills in each of the three musical theatre disciplines of singing, dancing, and acting each week. These fun and engaging sessions build skills and confidence, so it is an easy step when it is time to transfer to the next stage.

Our 3-hour weekly Main Stages classes are split in three age appropriate groups, where young people learn new skills in each of the complementary Musical Theatre disciplines of singing, dancing, and acting.

We believe in the potential of every child!

Meet The Team

Principal - Kate Ridley-Holloway

Kate started her Stagecoach journey as a teenager at her local Stagecoach Performing Arts school. Her love for everything dramatic soon cemented an ambition for a career in the arts and this led to her Stagecoach journey never really ending! After spending a few years in training and performing in tours and shows, Kate returned to work as a Dance Teacher for Stagecoach Tiverton and various other South-West schools. During this time, she completed her teaching qualifications and gained invaluable experience working alongside other Principals before taking on her own school in 2014. Kate became Principal of Stagecoach North Devon and led the school for 7 amazing years until moving to Gloucestershire in 2021. This is when her Stagecoach Gloucester story began! Kate brings a wealth of experience and passion to the school with the students and teaching team being at the heart of it all.
