How to find our Inclusive Theatre School near North Shields

Heading our way from North Shields? It’s a quick and straightforward journey along the A193 (Tynemouth Road). Just follow the road west toward Wallsend, passing through Howdon. Once you go over the A19 flyover, look out for the Howdon Hub on your left. From there, take a left onto Churchill Street and your very next left onto Archer Street. You’ll see our “forever home” sitting proudly on the corner of Shafto Street, the famous former Wallsend Boys Club building made iconic by DIY SOS!

Our Inclusive Theatre School near North Shields

We welcome families and schools from North Shields who are looking for inclusive theatre classes and SEND friendly performing arts sessions. While our hub is based at our Inclusive Theatre School Newcastle, many of our students travel from North Shields, Wallsend and Jarrow to take part in our inclusive theatre classes Newcastle, as well as our dedicated SEND school outreach programmes and supportive homeschool sessions. Our fully accessible venue, known as Our Place, offers a sensory friendly environment where young people from across the North East can build confidence, develop creativity and feel part of a safe and welcoming community.

"True Colours helps me feel like I belong."

Kids found me weird because I didn’t act like them. I would just hide behind my smile and bubbly personality but deep down I was sad and alone. I found it really hard to fit in and understand all the social cues because of my autism. True Colours Theater helps me feel like I belong. Now I can be myself. – Alesha

“I love it because I’m not the only person who needs help, everyone does!”

Izzy

Devastated by the gravity of her loss, our happy girl struggled with her emotions. She went through counselling through her school but nothing was lifting her up. We decided to give True Colours Theatre a try. What a difference a year makes. It is so lovely to see her confidence soar, to see her smile and laugh so much again. We certainly couldn’t have imagined how much of a positive impact their True Colours Theatre Co would have on her.

SEND School Outreach

Classes and Curriculum Delivered

Designed to work within mainstream SEND theatre classes and students, we can come to you. These specialised programs are designed to meet the needs of individual students, educators, and schools through collaboration.

Homeschooler Sessions

Love Your School Again

Book into our homeschool sessions and get that I Love My School feeling back. As part of our Inclusive Theatre School North Shields community, our Well Being main lobby is a great place for students to access their school work, chill in the sensory room, chat with friends, take a recess run, and fall back in love with the social aspect of going to school. Isolation is over and school is back in session.

Available during term time.
Parents and carers must remain with students at all times.

Inclusive Theatre School North Shields

When the world is not made for you and it is all a bit wrong, finding a place that is a perfect fit is life-changing.

– Sandra McMaster, True Colours Board Member

Your child needs more than just a diagnosis to get through life.
They need a bedrock of confidence.
A group of friends.
And the belief that they can and should be accepted as they are without stigma, judgment, or difference holding them back.

This is the foundational work that we build with every single member who walks through our doors, regardless of age, ability, or need.

At True Colours Theatre we are changing lives, one smile, song, tap, hug, or performance at a time.

Let’s change your life and get ready for your child to tell you they’ve had the BEST DAY EVER.

Places, everyone! Places!
