A little about me...

 

Meet your new Principal

After more than twenty five years of teaching, Kathryn Whale decided that it was really
now or never and took the plunge to follow her dream of running her own theatre school
to inspire children with the magic of performing arts. Her story of becoming the new
Principal of Razzamataz Wakefield will motivate others to follow their passion.

A bit about me

I studied drama at Reading University along with a QTS which enabled me to also
become a teacher. After uni, I went to drama school and from there worked
professionally as an actor on TV and in theatre.
I’ve maintained strong links with the arts through my teaching, directing many different
productions. I’ve been a teacher for 28 years and have always said at some point I
would love to have my own performing arts school.

Hear about Kathryn’s vision

First and foremost is that every child that attends can have fun and take advantage of
all the extra events that I will offer. I’m passionate that every child has the same
opportunity to join in and no one gets left behind. I want parents to know that their
children will be participating in classes where standards are high and children are
learning in an inspiring environment. I love working with children and I know how much
performing arts benefitted my life, so I want to pass this on to others and enjoy being in
a space that is buzzing with excitement.
