SHOLARSHIPS ARE BACK!
WOAPA Scholarships 2025
WOAPA - West Oxfordshire Academy of Performing Arts is offering FREE scholarship places to attend its Saturday PM School for one year, starting April 2025.
WOAPA is an independent Children’s Theatre School based at Henry Box School, Witney, currently offering classes at weekends in dance, singing and acting.
The Scholarships being offered are for our Saturday afternoon school,
2.00pm to 5.00pm
Places are being offered to give children from a variety of backgrounds, an opportunity to participate in the Performing Arts.

Alongside providing the students with opportunities to gain skills in
Performing Arts, WOAPA aims to improve the health and prospects of children
throughout West Oxfordshire.
By offering scholarships we are hoping to give those children who, perhaps,
wouldn’t usually be able to attend a drama school, the chance to benefit from
all the positive aspects of the performing arts including increased physical
fitness levels, confidence, a positive attitude and a sense of achievement.
We have wonderful tutors, all hand-picked for their experience and
enthusiasm for working with children in the Performing Arts.
We have a keen eye
on providing good customer service and parents regularly tell us they think we’re
the best theatre school for children in the area.
WOAPA has
arranged for, and assisted, students to appear in local productions,
professional stage shows (locally and national tours) in film,
television, music videos and advertisements.
We regularly invite industry professionals to our school, to
provide master-class sessions, giving our students access to work with
performers at the top of their game.

- 4 children aged 7 - 9yrs
