Welcome! From bumps to teens we have it covered.
This is your one-stop site for everything you need to know about living in Romford with children.
JAM Dance Company are thrilled to announce their brand new JAM-Packed Technical Intensive Camp, this Easter Half Term.
This unique and exciting camp is designed to provide students with a real sense of pride and achievement.
Our camp offers students the opportunity to spend 5 days with us learning, training and developing their technical dance skills
Why is this camp intensive........because at the end of the week, you will have the potential to take an exam, if you wish to, with our dance-affiliated board, the BATD, for which you will be awarded a dance qualification and receive a certificate and medal. It is a fantastic opportunity for students to develop in dance whilst instilling in them a sense of commitment, focus, achievement and pride.
Please see our invitation and flyer!

Since the beginning of the first lockdown we have all loved creating window displays and putting pictures in our windows for children to spot on their walks. We've had rainbows and pumpkins so why not Easter Eggs!
You can print one of these and once they are coloured or decorated, stick it on your window. The more people who get involved the better. We want to be able to see lots of pictures as we walk around our community. This is a simple activity that can be done while following the current Covid restrictions.

Beyond The Rainbow Performing Arts Academy
"My daughter has been with Beyond the Rainbow for over a year now and her 2 younger brothers have followed her! Rachel and her team of teachers work so hard each week to get the very best out of each individual child. It's been amazing to see my children's confidence grow each week as they learn something new to show me! They have 3 lessons throughout the morning (tap is definitely a firm favourite!) But alongside the lessons, Rachel works hard to develop friendships and connections between the children so when they are performing they can support each other. This is a unique musical theatre group where the focus is on celebrating each child and their development. The scripts for the shows are written by the teachers and allow for the children to be in the spotlight as individuals as well as part of the whole group. Thank you BtR for showing such care and encouragement to my children!"
