Testimonials and Reviews

Our journey with The Arts Centre Telford began three years ago when our eldest daughter, Rosie, was struggling with her confidence at school and both her class teacher and I felt it was starting to hold her back. She tried a couple of local stage schools and drama clubs, but they just didn’t suit her. When you’re so quiet, you can get lost in a room of big personalities! TACT however, couldn’t have been more different, they have provided her with a safe, nurturing space to find her own voice. TACT has developed Rosie’s ability to make new friends, communicate and work as part of a team.

All three of my children attend The Arts Centre Telford and all three have reaped the benefits; TACT has taught them commitment and resilience through the high standards and expectations, and in response they have blossomed in the classroom and on stage.

After over two years of Tact lessons and shows I feel I can leave a really honest review. The lessons are excellent due to the high quality of the staff and their commitment and passion. What really stands out for me is how well the teachers work across the ages - they are just as strong with unsure beginners and toddlers as they are with teens and preparing those stepping up to Arts Schools.

Ella’s first TACT audition was the week following her 8th birthday and having seen a few of the shows she couldn’t wait to join in. Ella was no stranger to performing onstage, having taken part in a number of school plays, but she was still a little nervous about meeting a whole new set of people.

When looking for a performing arts school for my son I knew exactly what I wanted and TACT ticked all the boxes - they are professional, enthusiastic, offer the highest standards of tuition and guidance for their students in a very friendly environment.

The young people of Telford and the surrounding areas are exceptionally lucky to have such a fantastic performing arts school right on their doorstep. TACT offers unique and fantastic opportunities to children and young people of all ages and abilities.

I cannot praise TACT highly enough. My only disappointment is that I never discovered it years ago. My daughter has been attending for just 12 months and in that time has developed immensely as a performer and as a person. She has been tutored to an exceptional standard and has enjoyed every second. My son has also recently joined and he absolutely loves going as well.

All three of my children are involved in TACT. The best recommendation is that they can’t wait to get there every week! TACT supports them as performers; offering many opportunities to participate in shows and events as well as providing high quality lessons which have resulted in excellent progress.
