Our Principal

Miss Kelly is the CEO of Northern Performance Academy and is heavily involved in the leadership and development of our Early Years Department - Performatots.
"I am so proud that our pioneering arts-inspired curriculum and creative approach to early education and care has been recognised by Ofsted as OUTSTANDING in our latest inspection, February 2023.
Performatots Pre-School is a VERY special place to spend your earliest years, our programme is perfect for those aged 2-5 years. Our unique curriculum weaves the magic of a culturally-enriching, arts education, with the necessary numeracy, literacy and academic skills and knowledge needed for success at school and life beyond.
We also are a school where kindness is a superpower. Teachers focus on aiding each individual child to create their sense of self, cultivating creativity, curiosity, empathy and confidence, so children can make excellent personal progress across all curriculum areas.
Children are developing at their own rate, and in their own time, so this is not a competition or a race. Rather, it is like a gift, and we are gently unfolding, unwrapping and carefully revealing what is inside your child's heart and mind, so that they feel safe to express their true potential and personality.
We aim to see our pupils fly the Performatots nest with a genuine love of learning, a respect and wonder for the arts and as a confident, capable, creative and curious child.''
Miss Kelly
''What makes our school so super special is our dedicated, passionate and inspirational teaching team. Our talented teachers are absolutely key to our pupil's progress. All the team are committed to their continued professional development. This regular training ensures our early years practice remains at the forefront of current research into early childhood teaching and learning philosophies, child psychology and developmental neuroscience.''
