The Jacqueline Chadwick Academy of Performing Arts believe that every child has the potential to be anything they want to be and through performance training they believe they can help youngsters take the first steps towards realizing their dreams. Although they have their own successful casting agency and regularly put their students forward for professional acting jobs in leading British Television, Theatre and Feature Film productions, it’s not just those who dream of fame and fortune who can benefit. It seems that through their unique curriculum of Drama, Dance and Vocal training youngsters from all walks of life and with a whole range of dreams or ambitions are benefiting. “Confidence is the key to success in life. If a child has confidence, self-esteem and good communication skills, the sky’s the limit in terms of their future. Yes, the majority of our students want to pursue a career in the arts but I get the biggest kick of all from working with shy, under-confident children. After a few weeks of performance training they just blossom and that really makes what we do worthwhile.”

Having been established in performance training for over a decade, The Jacqueline Chadwick Academy of performing Arts launched it's current style of stage school training with one class of sixty children in a local high school in September 2005. Before they new it, demand was such that they embarked upon the first expansion of the organisation. It was clear that they had to make available the unique performance and life skill training devised by Jacqueline to as many youngsters as possible. By September 2007 they had not only launched branches throughout the Northwest of England but most recently the first of four Scottish branches in Stirling-Jackie's birth town.

In addition to their stage schools, The Jacqueline Chadwick Academy is a recognised and established Casting Agency helping to open the door of opportunity within the performance industry to children and adults alike. Simon (Jackie's husband and Managing Director of the companies) and Jackie are dedicated to providing vocational training of the highest quality and set up the George Spence Pirie Scholarship Fund in 2006. The G.S.P. Fund is designed to provide youngsters with motivational training, life skills and mentoring.
