Every week, hundreds of children and young people between the ages of two and eighteen years attend a diverse range of exciting classes which include a dynamic programme of dance, acting, speech, drama, music, singing and musical theatre classes and worshops.  Therefore whatever your taste there is something for everyone!

Located in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, a short 35 minute train journey from London's West End, the school operates in various purpose built venue together with its own studio facilities.  Classes are held during the day, after school and at weekends.

Our ethos is to foster in children and young people of all abilities a real passion for the arts which will ultimately enrich their lives teaching them life long skills.  As well as keeping fit and healthy and igniting new interests, classes will help children and young people to integrate, meet new friends, whilst at the same time having fun.  For many, these classes are the first steps towards a future career within the arts.

Children and young people take part in a variety of performances and competitions which provide them with confidence and experience.  Examinations are offered in all disciplines which encourage and promote success and ultimately give a real sense of achievement.

We invite you to visit our school and to experience the stimulating and welcoming environment where all artistic minds come together to promote the arts, share in its diversity and, where knowledge, skill and expertise come together committed to a life long learning.  We are committed to providing an exceptionally high standard of quality training for the theatre and performing arts.

Our classes are designed to ensure that success can only be achieved through self awareness which is reflected in the commitment and dedication of our staff.  Our aims are to primarily develop creative, innovative and artistic individuals for the future.

We look forward to welcoming you to Jacqui Ison Theatre Arts.
