A new drama school that focuses on the "four Cs" of confidence, communication, co-ordination and concentration comes to Putney.

Due to popular demand, Perform children's drama school will start workshops for children ages eight to 12 in St Stephens Church Hall from September 18.

Perform focuses on child development by using a mix of drama, dance and singing designed to help bring out every child's true potential.

Lucy Quick, principal, said: "We are incredibly excited about opening in SW15. Parents have been asking us to open locally in SW15 for ages and we have a fantastic venue and have found some brilliant teachers to lead the workshops."

Perform drama, dance and singing workshops started with one class in January 2000 with four children in Primrose Hill, and now have more than 5,000 children attending workshops across London.

Classes are kept small so that everyone can get individual attention.

Perform; St Stephens Church Hall, Manfred Road, Putney; every Thursday, September 18; 4pm to 5.30pm; Visit perform.org.uk.
