About Stagecoach Theatre Arts Schools
Stagecoach Theatre Arts is a highly regarded network of performing arts schools with a proven record of delivering quality dance, drama and singing lessons to youngsters worldwide. Over the years Stagecoach has provided a springboard for some of the UK’s leading young talent and has had the privilege of watching thousands of kids grow in confidence and ability.
They first opened in 1988 when Stagecoach founders Stephanie Manuel and David Sprigg launched three schools in Richmond, Redhill and Woking. Their formula of teaching small classes of children an hour of dance, an hour of singing and an hour of drama on a weekly basis was an instant success. Today they continue to build on those foundations. We have a thriving network of more than 320 fun and friendly franchised performing arts schools at safe and convenient locations in the UK, and a growing presence in ten other countries.
‘Our goal is to inspire and enrich young people through the performing arts and introduce them to new opportunities in a happy, safe and secure environment.’

Car mirrors and magnifying glasses should definitely be banned I vowed as I caught sight of my rather tired looking skin this morning.
There have been a number of family visits over Christmas, a short new year’s resolution to lose weight in January with a two day starvation diet, and a string of lunches and dinners accompanied by wine and coffee with friends.
It is no wonder my skin is suffering from wear and tear, as was evident when I dropped the kids off at school this morning as I glanced into the mirror as I was sitting in the driver’s seat.
Talking of being in the driving seat, we really are as we can definitely do something about it. I always remember the famous Body Shop mogul Anita Roddick saying to me in an interview that as long as you hydrated, your skin would look good.
So we can begin with drinking more water. I am the first to admit that my coffee and tea consumption over the winter months has exceeded my water intake, and I am about to take myself in hand on that one.
I have now stocked up on bottled water, as although tap water is good, I can always taste the chlorine and so prefer Evian or Fiji, the latter being my favourite and being stocked in Waitrose or you can order online.
Drinking several glasses of water a day will visibly improve your skin within a few days, and is an excellent way to start.
You could also improve your skin cleansing technique by taking an extra 2—3 minutes a day to make sure the surface is squeaky clean and leave your makeup off for as long as possible, even if only half an hour.
Skin creams are in abundance, but you have to find the one that suits you best. You could go for the Rolls Royce of skin creams, Crème de la Mer which is great for every skin type, and even clears up Eczema – being originally created by Dr Huber with the sea kelp as its main ingredient as a healing property . Visit the website http://www.cremedelamer.co.uk/ for a special Valentine offer or throughout the year where they justify the investment with extras that make it worthwhile. A good size pot with perks around £150.
If your budget is still fragile at this time of the year you could go for a more affordable line with Clinique 3 step for £20. This is an excellent skincare kit and will get you in the zone for a full on revamp of your skincare regime.
Last reminder is to exfoliate, some say twice a week, I personally feel once weekly is sufficient to help sustain a glowing skin – and gets rid of any excess of makeup or open pores through exposure to the elements.
It really is what suits you best – shop around there are some great offers out there and it is sometimes good to kick off with a facial which sets you on the road to youthful looking skin.
Do all of the above and you will enjoy those car journeys and the unexpected glimpse of your younger self in the wing mirror.

You may have abandoned your New Year resolution diet by now, but here is a super sweet recipe to satisfy your taste buds but with low threat to your calorie intake.
This lower fat cheesecake uses “quark”, A virtually fat-free soft cheese made that is made from skimmed milk. You literally can have your (cheese)cake and eat it. Low fat and sin free.
Ingredients
For the base
6 low-fat digestive biscuits (reduced sugar)
10 low-fat plain biscuits, i.e Rich Tea (reduced sugar)
75g butter, melted
For the filling
6 leaves gelatine
150ml skimmed milk
50g cocoa powder
100g caster sugar
500g quark cheese
300g fat-free Greek yoghurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 vanilla pod, seeds only
2 free-range egg whites
Method
1.Preheat the oven to 180C and line a 23cm spring form cake tin with greaseproof paper.
2.To make the base, put all the biscuits into a sandwich bag and crush with a rolling pin until it resembles breadcrumbs. Place into a mixing bowl and add the melted butter and mix well. Press the mixture into the bottom of the tin.
3.Place in oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool while you prepare the filling.
4.For the filling, soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of ice-cold water for 10 minutes. Put the milk, cocoa powder and sugar into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, constantly stirring, until the sugar has melted and the cocoa is completely combined. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes. Whisk in the gelatine and set aside.
5.Put the quark and yoghurt into a mixing bowl and beat together until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and the vanilla seeds. Beat the mixture well and then add the cocoa mixture. Beat until smooth and set aside.
6.In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold one third of the egg whites into the cheesecake mixture and then carefully fold in the remainder.
7.Spoon the mixture onto the base then put into the fridge to set for at least 4-6 hours or overnight if possible.
8.Serve.
For extra special luxury serve with seasonal fruits.
