About
The Aoife Burke School of Drama is about promoting self-confidence for children of all ages. The lessons are designed to encourage expression and creativity in a comfortable safe environment, developing confidence and communication that can be brought into everyday life. Through the use of performance, improvisation, stories, games and much more, the students are learning skills and abilities in a fun space without feeling any added pressure or anxiety. Exam preparation, Drama Competitions (optional) and End of Year performances act as an excellent way to keep the students focused and working towards a goal as well as feeling a great sense of personal achievement.

“I can't say enough about the incredible experience my son, Fionn, has had at the Aoife Burke School of Drama. He started attending when he was 6 years old, and now, after 10 amazing years, I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions I've made for him. He has flourished in ways I never imagined; the confidence and self-assuredness he has gained and the skills he's developed through Aoife's classes will serve him well for years to come. Through his time with Aoife, he has participated in class performances, attended Drama Feis's and successfully completed his Leinster School speech and drama grades, which has not only been a fantastic achievement for him but given him a lifelong interest in drama and the arts.
Aoife has a wonderfully fun and relaxed style that makes every class enjoyable. She fosters a warm and supportive environment that encourages growth and creativity. It's no surprise that Fionn loves returning to class year after year. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone considering enrolling their child!”

Our daughter Daisy has been attending the Aoife Burke School of Drama for 3 years now and she absolutely loves it. Aoife invests so much time and energy into her classes and you can see how passionate she is. The kids adore her! Daisy has learned so much and has grown in confidence in a lovely subtle way and we have really seen a huge difference. She skips into her class every week and has alot of fun. I would recommend Aoife's drama school to anyone. It's a wonderful place for kids. It was recommended to me and we are so happy we found this gorgeous drama school.

For the past two years, our kid has thrived at the Aoife Burke School of Drama, and we couldn’t be happier. I still remember his fear coming into his first two classes, being barely 3 years of age, but Aoife’s brilliantly warm approach provided a safe environment, so by his third class kiddo was already thriving. Today, he looks forward to every session and comes home buzzing with enthusiasm and self-belief.
Over this time, we’ve seen our child grow, not just in performance ability, but in social confidence, public speaking, and self-esteem. This has been carefully built up by Aoife and her team, who are obviously doing fantastic work with each child to develop their confidence, communication skills, and creativity through imaginative play, improvisation, and storytelling. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Aoife Burke School of Drama to any parent seeking a place where theatre, fun, and personal growth truly come together
