Big News for Loughton Families: Multi-Award-Winning Theatre School Launches This September
(4).jpg)
There’s something exciting coming to Loughton this September. The multi-award-winning Anna Fiorentini Theatre & Film School is opening a brand-new branch—and it’s set to bring a big dose of creativity, confidence, and fun to local families.
After 25 years of helping young people across London build confidence, self-esteem, and successful careers in film, television, and theatre, the school is expanding—and founder Anna Fiorentini, now a proud Loughton resident, is bringing it right to her local community.
The Loughton branch will hold classes on Sunday afternoons, welcoming students aged 4 to 16. The curriculum will develop “triple-threat” performers—those skilled in acting, singing, and dance—while also focusing on essential life-enhancing skills such as teamwork, communication, resilience, and public speaking, tools that will help kids thrive both on and off stage
Accessibility and inclusivity are central to the school’s ethos. Thanks to its charitable arm, bursaries are available to ensure that children from all backgrounds can participate, regardless of financial circumstances.
Over the years, the Anna Fiorentini School has picked up several awards, including:
- Best Community Business – London Chamber of Commerce
- Best Social Enterprise – Great British Businesswoman Awards
Backed by numerous celebrity endorsements and professional partnerships, the school serves as a gateway to exciting industry opportunities.
Families are invited to attend a special Open Day, on Sunday 8th June, where prospective students can meet the team—including Anna herself—and explore the opportunities awaiting them.
This is a brilliant opportunity for Loughton’s young people to discover their voice, grow in confidence, and explore their creativity in a safe, welcoming environment. Don’t miss out!
