Children and young people develop a range of core life skills through our weekly performing arts classes which we call Creative Courage for Life. Each three-hour weekly session is packed with singing, dancing, and acting, giving students the space to express and build their confidence.
Students will learn:
Singing
Singing in harmony, vocal techniques and breath control
Acting
How to dance in different styles and how to create their own choreography
Dancing
Creating character, working with scripts and improvisation
It’s not all about singing, dance and drama though, our students gain a range of additional benefits, including:
That’s not all, our Main Stages students, and their parents and guardians,
also enjoy:
Regular performance Opportunities enable students to showcase their skills
We love to celebrate our students’ attendance and achievements

This term, we begin our eagerly anticipated Show Term — one of the highlights of the Stagecoach year!
Over the next two terms, our entire Main Stages cohort will come together to rehearse and perform our full-scale production of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory JR.
Along the way, students will develop their acting, singing, dancing and performance skills, alongside important skills such as teamwork, communication, confidence and resilience.
Students will take part in character workshops and audition preparation, giving them the opportunity to explore characters, understand the audition process and receive constructive feedback that they can take forward into future auditions.
They’ll also learn what it takes to put on a production as a team — from the rehearsal room to the stage — including how to work safely backstage, support fellow performers and take responsibility for their role within the company.
The production will be performed at The Lamproom Theatre, Barnsley, giving our students the exciting opportunity to experience performing in a professional theatre and see their hard work brought to life on stage.
We are planning two performances in late February/early March 2027. Exact dates can be found on the SHOWTIME page
Please note: To give our students the opportunity to take on a larger-scale production and develop these additional skills, the show process has been extended across two terms. Please keep this in mind when planning your Stagecoach dates for the year.
We can’t wait to see our Main Stages students bring Charlie & The Chocolate Factory JR. to life!
