Roynon strive to make every learning experience meaningful and contribute towards the learning journey of a student. We have a dedicated, qualified and experienced teaching team and are also extremely proud to have built a bank of industry contacts who regularly come to our school. Our students are also given unique performance opportunities at local events, private functions and even a-list celebrity events. Meanwhile, our work in schools is ever-growing and includes a range of primary, secondary and private. Roynon Performing Arts also has a strong history of exam progression via the ISTD syllabus and a renowned reputation at dance festivals. No matter the age or ability, we’d love to hear from you!

Winchester Poetry Festival – a registered charity – is a local and national poetry community that inspires and excites everyone to read, write, perform, and enjoy poetry in all its forms. Our work ranges from our acclaimed biennial festival and our popular competitions, to our wider year-round engagement work with community organisations and schools. We share, showcase, celebrate, and champion great poetry because we believe in its power to bring us all together and make a positive, enriching difference to our lives and to our society. We collaborate with a wide range of partners and businesses – including with Hampshire Cultural Trust and the work of the Hampshire Poet – and and we act as a local. national & international hub for poetry.
