We’re all about fun and inclusion at B.A. Academy, however our coaches and teachers are always looking to improve the ability of our young students. We find that over time, the children become motivated to test their limits and push beyond them. Last year we set up our ‘Elite Academy’ in Gymnastics and Musical Theatre where children who showed exceptional performance in our extra curricular classes, were invited to our elite academy to take their skills to the next level. 

We have seen so many children really find and define themselves at our clubs. Freely expressing themselves in our clubs empowers them to own who they are, and really build their self esteem. A lot of the children on our courses might be doing an extra curricular club for the first time. Our staff are not only fully trained and safeguarded, but we really make sure we recruit inspiring staff with lots of energy as this is so inspiring and infectious on the children.

All of our classes require focus, however we do not expect students to come to us with this as a perfect skill - we work closely with them to build this. In doing so we are also able to massively assist with developing and strengthening their motor and language skills, which serves to boost their performance in school. 

Trying something new expands your Childs mind and invites them to see beyond the familiar. Opening them up to a diversity of interests and experiences allows them to decide for themselves what resonates and what feels right. B.A. Academy started off just offering sports, and now we’re so proud of the fact that we now offer a wider variety of courses as it gives children a wider range of things to try, such as musical theatre, dance and languages.

The interaction with the other children in our classes promotes positive behaviour a sense of team work, and really being part of something. At B.A. Academy, we want to create a sense of belonging in our classes. We want children to be able to express themselves in our classes without being judges. Unsurprisingly a lot of friendships have been formed at B.A. Academy.

One of our coaches and teachers main purposes are to make every single child leave every session feeling good about themselves. When children feel good about themselves, their approach towards everything changes. The new found positive attitude encourages them to apply themselves better in every field, including in the classroom.
