Founded in 1988 with three schools in Surrey, Stagecoach now has more than 600 Schools in the UK alone and others in Australia, Canada, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Ireland, Malta, Spain, and the USA.
In all, Stagecoach trains over 35,000 students and is the world's largest part-time theatre School.
Stagecoach's Patron is Phillip Schofield.
Stagecoach Belfast opened April 2001. Four Main Schools and four Early Stages schools run in Belfast and Holywood; we provide a safe and family-friendly atmosphere for our pupils and parents.
Principal Janet-anne Phillips is on hand at every school to give support and encouragement to the children each week.
Having built a reputation for providing exceptionally disciplined young performers, Stagecoach Belfast has provided local children the opportunity to perform at venues such as The Grand Opera House and The Waterfront Hall, as well as film and television work.
Our aim is to give every child the chance to dream and to help to make those dreams a reality.
