Miss White’s Academy is a newly established performing arts school in Maidenhead, UK, dedicated to nurturing the next generation of young creatives. Designed for children aged 7–16, the academy offers high-quality performing arts training with a particular specialism in acting for screen, drawing on professional industry standards and the guidance of highly trained practitioners.
Our mission is to provide an inspiring, supportive, and empowering environment where every child can explore their talents, discover their unique creative identity, and build lifelong confidence. With a strong foundation in professional practice and a passion for helping young performers grow, Miss White’s Academy is committed to delivering exceptional training as we continue to expand and bring our vision to more young artists in the future.
​
The academy currently offers four dynamic disciplines — Choir, Drama, Musical Theatre, and Acting for Screen — each taught to professional standards by trained teachers. Our classes are carefully structured into three groups: Juniors (7–11), Seniors (12–16), and Masters (16–18), allowing students to learn alongside peers at a similar stage of development while receiving age-appropriate, challenging, and inspiring training.
