We are incredibly proud to announce that Holly King Performing Arts Academy has been named Performing Arts School of the Year 2025/26 at the prestigious Prestige Awards South England.
This recognition celebrates excellence, dedication and impact within the performing arts sector across the South of England, and we are absolutely thrilled to have been recognised for the work we do with young performers every week.
For everyone involved in HKPA, our students, families and teaching team, this award represents something truly special. It reflects the passion, commitment and creativity that fills our studios every single week and the positive environment we work so hard to create.
While being crowned Performing Arts School of the Year is wonderful to receive, what matters most to us is the journey our students take with us: building confidence, discovering their talents and developing life skills that will stay with them far beyond the stage.
Why HKPA?
At Holly King Performing Arts Academy, we believe performing arts education should be about far more than simply learning routines or songs. Our mission is to create a place where children and young people can grow in confidence, creativity and self-belief.
Our academy welcomes students from ages 3 through to 21 years, providing structured training in singing, acting and dance while encouraging individuality and personal development.
Everything we do is built around our core ethos:
Being You Never Felt So Good.
This means creating a supportive environment where every student feels valued, encouraged and inspired to be themselves. Whether a child dreams of a professional career in performing arts or simply wants a place where they can express themselves and have fun, HKPA is a space where they can truly thrive.
Our classes combine professional training with a strong sense of community, allowing students to build friendships, develop teamwork skills and experience the joy of performing together.
A Community Achievement
Being crowned Performing Arts School of the Year is not just a recognition of the academy. It belongs to our entire HKPA community.
Our talented students bring energy, dedication and enthusiasm to every class. Our families support their children’s creative journeys and help foster the positive culture that makes HKPA so special. And our incredible teaching team works tirelessly to deliver inspiring, high-quality training week after week.
Together, this community has helped HKPA grow into something truly unique: a performing arts academy where children are encouraged to aim high while always feeling supported.
Looking Ahead
Receiving the Performing Arts School of the Year 2025/26 award gives us even more motivation to continue developing exciting opportunities for our students.
From performance showcases and theatre experiences to workshops, industry opportunities and creative training, we are constantly working to provide inspiring experiences that help our students grow both on and off the stage.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of the HKPA journey so far, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for our amazing students.
Here’s to another year of confidence, creativity and unforgettable performances.
