Kala the Arts

We are a Community Interest Company producing creative wellbeing projects for young people, because we know that life can get messy. This includes one-off projects, ongoing collaborations and commissions with arts, youth and health partners, mentoring for over 16s, and weekly dance and sensory play classes for under 5s and their grown-ups. We raise funds to deliver specialist projects which support young people living with adverse childhood experiences, and to reduce social isolation for Parents/Carers supporting vulnerable young people. We work collaboratively with other sectors so that work can continue to support young people through the arts after our projects have finished. We work across Dorset and Hampshire. Please get in touch!

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!
