Vicky
Principal and Teacher
I'm Vicky- Principal and teacher at Just 4 Kids Performing Arts. As a child, I was always keen on performing- singing, dancing and acting wherever I could. I attended a local dance school and was also a student at Stagecoach Theatre Arts until I turned 18 and then gained a BTec National Diploma in Performing Arts.
In 2004, I was employed as the Children's Activities Manager, running the children's activities and birthday parties within the caves at Kents Cavern in Torquay, and then set up Just 4 Kids Parties in 2006.
At the end of 2006, I travelled to Los Angeles and worked for both Silly Sally's Entertainment and Giggles and Hugs, running children's entertainment for 2 years.
On returning to Devon, I continued running the children's parties and also worked as a performing arts teacher at Stagecoach Theatre Arts from 2008-2017.
I studied a Foundation Degree in Performance Arts and Events Management in 2010 and then in 2015, I moved to Cornwall to complete the 3rd year of my degree in Creative Events Management, eventually qualifying as a primary school teacher in 2017.
Alongside teaching, I still run Just 4 Kids Parties across Cornwall, performing and entertaining at local events and kids' parties.
My love for working with children and my passion for the performing arts is the reason I wanted to set up Just 4 Kids Performing Arts in Truro and I am so excited to bring this joy to everyone! I can't wait for your children to join our classes and holiday workshops. They really will develop skills for life such as confidence, team work, problem solving and so much more.
Fun facts: I collect Disney DVDs- I now has 44 of the Disney Classics in my collection. I love Belle from Beauty and the Beast and have even played her on stage twice in amateur productions of the musical in 1998 and 2010.


Jen
Administration and Class Support
Hi I’m Jen - administration assistant and class support for Just 4 Kids Performing Arts. I grew up with a love for theatre and performing. I have fond memories of taking part in holiday workshops and shows when I was a child.
I continued my love of theatre right through school and chose to study performing arts at college. While at college, I fell in love with the behind the scenes aspect of theatre and was lucky enough to receive a scholarship for Guildford School of Acting to study Stage Management.
After I graduated, I worked as a freelance stage manager for years and was lucky enough to work for Miracle Theatre, Kneehigh Theatre, Minack Theatre and Hall for Cornwall.
Before starting our family, my husband Tom and I ran a Stagecoach Theatre Arts school where I did a similar role to this one and Vicky was one of our amazing teachers. I’m so excited to be working with her again on her new venture and helping to inspire a new generation of performers and maybe stage managers too!
Fun Facts: Martin Clunes is my Grandpa’s cousin’s son and I once had a walk on part in Doc Martin!
As a student at drama school I had a one off job as seamstress for a very fancy party in London, apparently hosted by David Hasselhoff!
