Tom believes passionately in the power of the arts to inspire and empower young people. At WestWay, they focus on nurturing each child’s unique talents, helping them grow in a supportive and inclusive environment. Confidence and self-expression are key, and the experienced teachers personalise class plans to meet each student’s individual needs and goals.
