Make Believe Bishop’s Stortford
At Make Believe Bishop's Stortford we aim to create an environment where children between three and 18 can improve their confidence, social skills and creativity through the art of singing, acting and dancing. This incredible school is continuing to develop on its already fantastic foundations. It’s a place where everyone feels included, everyone has a voice and most importantly everyone has FUN, whilst participating in performing arts. Through having dedicated, highly skilled and passionate teachers, we provide all children with the best possible tools and opportunities to grow as individuals, build new skills, make new friends and to be a part of something special. Whatever your dreams or ambitions are, we believe that anything is possible, irrelevant of your age and we can’t wait to be a part of your journey! **Your kids free trial is just a button click away** We can’t wait to meet you!
Beautiful memories, amazing people!

From doing MB Annie, Bugsy Malone and then Fame, it actually gave me the confidence to do my Musical Theatre singing exams. Honestly, it gave me so much confidence!

My daughter attends and really enjoys herself, the staff are lovely and she is included in everything… I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic memories that will last a lifetime, Morgan & Scarlett loved their time at Make Believe and also helped us through a bad time in our lives, it gave Morgan the opportunity to live her dream so much so that she’s still doing it at 18 and for many more years to come, without you all believing in her I don’t think she’d be where she is today!

Thousands of young people have been a part of the Make Believe journey and we’d love you to join them. My names Leanne and I am the Principal of Make Believe Bishop’s Stortford. I am also a mummy to my three amazing daughters who have been part of Make Believe over the past 10 years. I have loved watching them grow and develop into the confident young girls they are today and this was thanks to their journey with Make Believe. As a parent I have been blessed to share all their experiences & achievements and we have always celebrated their success. Now I want to be more involved and help other children gain the same confidence and happiness through Make Believe which is why I am now opening my own School as a Principal. I look forward to meeting you soon!
