West End in Schools. The pantomime, dance and theatre company with trained actors from London’s West End.
Every child’s imagination should be inspired by the arts. Our mission is to use the skills of professional theatre to provide highly creative cultural experiences which children will remember for ever.
West End in Schools offers pantomimes, dance workshops, musical theatre shows, and Shakespeare workshops to primary schools all over the UK.
Our pantomimes are performed by professional actors and created by writers, directors and designers who we commission from within the professional theatre and children’s television industries.
For our 2018 panto season we’re offering our new pantomime Dick Whittington alongside the ever-popular Aladdin, Jack and the Beanstalk, Scroogical and Beauty and the Beast.
You get brilliant West End in Schools performers coming to your school to perform the show of your choice. Each story and song is written especially for primary school audiences and there are plenty of opportunities for the children to join in.
Some enterprising PTA's use our pantomimes to boost their festive fundraising activities.
Our range of popular dance and drama workshops are available to primary schools throughout the year including World Book Day. Topics range from literacy to Shakespeare, Diwali and anti-bullying. You can find out more on our website, and please do get in touch – we’d love to hear from you!

Deputy Head
- Ongar Primary School
The pantomime that the children watched was brilliant; it was full of fun, laughter and offered plenty of opportunities for the children to join in. The songs were very child friendly even though we had not learnt them prior to your visit and they sang along with the words after the first couple of choruses. Your staff were professional, friendly and very polite which made it a pleasure having your company in our school.

Great performance of Aladdin. The actors held the children's attention throughout. The children loved every minute, lots of singing, interaction and smiles and laughter. The perfect Christmas treat!
