What Parents Say
We discovered Reflect Productions at the start of the first lockdown. To say that these lessons, as well as the martial arts sister school, we’re the foundations of sanity and joy during those times is an understatement! In less than two years, peppered with lockdowns, isolation and reunions, we have seen the children deliver incredible performances, build beautiful friendship, learn excellent, core transferable skills and distinctions in two sets of LAMDA exams! No other school has managed a smidge of this during this time. Where others have used covid as an excuse for stepping back, Kirsty and her team have stepped up their game to deliver even more magic to children desperately in need of it and parents aching for something wonderful in times they’ve not been able to provide it. I teach teachers at UCL. If one in every hundred became as dedicated and thoughtful and committed and kind to their students as every one of the teachers are in this performing arts school, I’d be besides myself with gladness! As for my daughters opinion “if I had to skip every class I have and playtimes, I would to be able to carry on doing my performing arts classes”.
My both son and now daughter are at Reflect productions and we have had wonderful experiences with the school. Both children received Distinctions and merits every year. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested.
My daughters both attend reflect productions drama club and it has done wonders for their confidence. The eldest has been attending for 9 years and given the choice between reflect and another local group, she picked reflect. My youngest has trouble speaking in public and thanks to the nurture and perseverance of the team she can say her lines in front of the audience. I can't recommend them enough.
My daughter enjoys a lot in the class of Reflect Productions. She builds up confidence and communication with others through the drama practice.
My daughter has attended Reflect Productions for 8 years with Kirsty, Leyton and team. They are super dedicated, highly professional and pay such attention to detail not just in Performance skills but also nurturing each individual young person's own talents. Over the year's I have not only seen my daughter progress but all in her group. I would definitely recommend Reflect and the team for anyone wanting their child to develop life long skills and and have alot of fun with it!
Reflect Productions are a wonderful theatre and dramatic arts company who deeply care about their students and have instilled so much confidence in my daughter, whilst being a fun and enjoyable way to develop her passion for the stage. Highly recommended.
