Yourstage Courses

A Time to Shine.

Learn a craft, discover a talent, find a passion! What will your child get out of Yourstage Drama this summer?

Did you know that there are fantastic children’s drama courses run here at St Augustine’s Priory during term time and the Easter and Summer holidays?

Yourstage Drama has been running successful courses for 10 years and currently offers fun and fabulous Saturday courses during term time as well as wonderful holiday courses during the long summer and Easter holidays.

The company, run by St Augustine’s Director of Priory 6 Faith Hagerty, offers courses for children from 3 to 16 and are taught by highly trained acting professionals and musical theatre specialists. They are an exciting, fun and stimulating way to let your children express themselves, each ending in a last day performance for family and friends.

‘It is so lovely to see your kids (even when they are nearly teenagers) happily skip off to for a week in the holidays and develop not just drama and dance skills but teamwork, creativity and empathy too.’ Debbie, April 2018

The courses all encourage confidence through creativity and welcome children of all abilities. They are a safe, fun, creative way to enable your child to find out how they want to shine. Yourstage is now taking bookings for the summer holidays and Michaelmas term time courses.

This Summer there are two, week long courses to choose from with different themes. Week 1 will produce a performance of Dream On – a funny and fabulous version of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. And week 2 celebrates the songs, dances and scenes from the West End and Broadway.

In the Michaelmas term there will be a Wild West theme for the Saturday classes with the younger children working towards an end of term show written by our talented Yourstage teachers and devised by the children.

Meanwhile the teens will be focusing on ‘Acting for Film and Television’ which will include for the first time (and at no extra cost) some fantastic workshops from industry professionals. The teens will end the course by making their own Western short film which will be presented to parents as their end of term show – yee haw!

Ms Hagerty’s Yourstage team has recently expanded with two new team members; local digital mother Rebecca Hamano Cabot is now managing all social media, while St Augustine’s Priory mother Rachel Agnew is leading the marketing team as the company moves from strength to strength.

Strengthening Our Community: The Return of Boys to our Preps and Pre-Preps

We are excited to share that, from September 2026, boys will begin moving up from our Nursery into Reception, marking the gradual reintroduction of boys into our Prep and Pre-Prep School.

This step reflects growing interest from families who value our strong holistic ethos and unique grounds and setting and would like their sons and daughters to share their educational journey together.

At St Augustine’s, our strong sense of community, academic excellence, and deep care for each individual child remain at the heart of everything we do. This is a natural evolution of our school rather than a change to who we are, building on our strengths and allowing us to offer the same joyful, inspiring education to even more children.
