My 5 year old son has been attending the Wednesday after school Spotlight for about a year now. The team are dedicated and hard working. The recent show they put on was incredible, all the children did amazingly well. My son also attends the holiday camps which he also thoroughly enjoys.
I’ve recommended to many people and will continue to do so. Thank you, Katie, Chloe and Charlotte for all the wonderful work that you do!!

My daughter has been going to Katie’s Spotlight Acting for 3 and a half years and the change in her confidence has been huge. It’s been an absolute joy to watch her taking part and evolve in the classes and shows and this is completely down to Katie’s wonderful skills and the fabulous team she has built up. She is an absolute superstar teacher and brings out the best in everyone. I couldn’t recommend Spotlight highly enough. It’s brilliant !
