About OB1 Theatre School
Our story, our team, and our commitment to enriching lives through the arts
Our Story
OB1 Theatre School was founded in 2018 with one simple mission: to enrich young lives through the arts.
Our founder, Danielle, has a background as a mainstream headteacher, while she and her children all share a deep love of performing. What began as a family passion soon grew into a vision for a school where children could explore performing arts in a way that was both professional and personal; a place where students aren't just taught, but truly supported as individuals.
As a family-run school, we know how important it is for children to feel safe, valued, and encouraged. That's why OB1 has become more than just a theatre school, it's a family. We provide a nurturing environment where students can step outside their comfort zone, grow in confidence, and discover their own unique talents.
Since opening our doors, we've celebrated student achievements from exceptional results in LAMDA examinations to memorable performances.
Our award-winning approach ensures every student, whether taking their first steps on stage or preparing for advanced opportunities, receives the guidance they need to shine.
At OB1 Theatre School, we don't just teach performing arts, we help shape confident, creative, and resilient young people who carry these skills with them wherever life takes them.
