About Bloom:

Bloom is a faith-based extra-curricular provider based primarily in church schools, delivering high quality performing arts content in the form of after-school clubs and day-time visits.

All of our work is designed to boost the social, emotional and mental health of our young members while engaging in topics found in the DfE's statutory personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education guidance, as well as its citizenship and relationships education guidance.

In this way, we aim to use performing arts as a vehicle to support schools as they develop the whole child in their spiritual, moral, social and cultural character.

We call this building children into 'people of substance.'

At all times our aim is to provide a safe space for kids to be kids based on mutual respect.

In a world full of questions, we provide a process filled with learning, laughter, and love, concluding with the product of a fulfilling performance and confident students.
