Stage & Scholar

Performing Arts Education for Parents, Teachers & Students

Stage & Scholar was created from a simple belief:
We are developing people, not just performers.

Through my work as a performing arts teacher, studio owner and examiner, I've seen first-hand the incredible impact that the arts can have on confidence, resilience, communication and personal growth.

Stage & Scholar is a place to share ideas, experiences and practical advice with parents, teachers and students who believe that performing arts education should be both ambitious and inclusive.

It's a space for thoughtful conversations about learning, teaching and helping young people thrive.

Founded by Rachel Hammerton -  Performing Arts Teacher, Studio Owner and Examiner.

Bringing together years of experience in teaching, examining and arts education to support parents, teachers and young performers.
