THeatretrain LOUGHTON
Get to know us
Our theatre classes take place at Roding Valley High School, Loughton, where our students come together every Saturday to connect, learn and create in a safe and inspiring environment. Through the performing arts, we give children and young adults the tools they need, not just to reach their potential on stage, but also to thrive at school and lay the foundations for their future.
