To book a trial please call us on 07500 569024 or complete the trial booking form which can be found on each venue page. We hold one trial day on the first day of each term when new students are invited to come for a trial lesson.

We do ask if you wish your child to continue after their trial you must sign up at the end of their trial lesson and pay for the full term.

Fees will be worked out pro rata if you are starting part way through a term. We will always advise you before your trial how much your fees will be. Fees may be paid by Cash or Cheque made payable to SHARPE ACADEMY OF THEATRE ARTS LIMITED.

Please click on your preferred venue and select each class page to view the fees.

We also offer add-ons, such as Singing lessons and LAMDA Exam tuition.

We offer Musical Theatre classes including Singing and Drama for children aged 6-14. LAMDA exams are offered to children aged 10-18.

As we do have waiting lists, we are unable to reserve places. Once a trial date has been set the place will be held until the end of the trial lesson, by which time you must decide if you would like to take it or we will offer it to the next person on our list.

We only offer sibling discounts for our 2 hour Musical Theatre Classes. Please see the relevent venue page for full details of sibling discounts. We offer no discounts for Act 1 or LAMDA classes.

Children who wish to to work towards LAMDA exams in acting can study for these at Sharpe Academy which takes place on Sunday mornings at Harrow High School. All exams take approximately 2-3 terms to complete and are taken at LAMDA Headquarters in central London. Private LAMDA lessons are also available. We also offer a fast track LAMDA option, allowing students to study for their grades over a 10-week period with a 30-minute lesson each week.

Yes, all staff members including teachers, assistants and chaperones are fully CRB and police checked. We take child protection very seriously at the Academy.

All Act 2, Act 3 and Act 4 Classes have a minimum ratio of of 1 CRB-checked member of staff for every 15 students.
Our Act 1 Musical Theatre classes each have a minimum ratio of 1 CRB-checked member of staff for every 8 students.

All children are welcome but must go through the same procedure of booking a trial if they would like to join Sharpe Academy.

Yes, providing there is room in the new class we will be happy to allow you to transfer to another Sharpe Academy venue for any reason. This must always be done at the start of a term and we must have written notice of your intentions half a term before hand.

You cannot, however, automatically transfer to Act 4 at Stanmore. Admission to Act 4 is by audition only.

We can offer private singing or LAMDA lessons to current Academy students at your home or occasionally at one of our venues. Please ask for details.

We are a performance based Academy and offer our students the very best in theatrical experiences. There is no other school in the area with such a qualified senior management team who has such direct links to the professional industry and who can advise and help your child take their career to the next level.

Our Academy does not just offer weekly classes, but in a family atmosphere offers support to children as they are growing up and helps each child build their own confidence levels which they will be able to use for the rest of their lives. We are always here to talk to, advise and steer people in the right direction if they do wish to pursue a career in the Arts.

We are also very competitively priced compared with the majority of our rivals, most of whom are franchises and so are not completely controlled by their Principals. Sharpe Academy is owned 100% by the people who you see each week and all suggestions are always taken on board in our annual company meeting which is attended by parents and older members.

Sharpe Academy has become one of the largest Musical Theatre Schools in North West London. Please do come and judge all this for yourself.

We will always take personal circumstances into account if your child is talented, however we normally only offer scholarships and bursaries to students who have been at the Academy for at least 2 years and they are normally for a specific, limited time period.
