WELCOME TO SUPERARTS ACADEMY
*FOUNDED IN 1962 BY IRENE HAYES BEM*
NOT-FOR-PROFIT STATEMENT
We operate a unique model. We use our members’ fees to fund students and support their families facing financial challenges. We like to refer to this as turning ‘fees into hope and opportunity’. We’re a not-for-dividend company – reinvesting the majority of our profits back into our social mission. With no shareholders to answer to we’re free to dedicate ourselves to the task of promoting the well-being of our community.
Superarts Academy, affectionately known as RENIE'S, the founder Irene Hayes BEM, was founded in 1962.
Due to various circumstances and after 50 plus years, our weekly classes ceased in September 2023.
However that's not the end...... and currently we provide adults well-being classes, (please view Adults Classes page), and Toddlers & Parents dance and music classes promoting
secure attachment and bonding between toddlers and their primary caregiver, (please view Toddlers & Parents courses page).
Whether teaching adults or children, we provide a safe environment, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and self-enquiry, promoting physical, emotional and mental well-being.

About
Superarts has been active in Southwark, London for over 50 years. The founder, Irene Hayes BEM, worked alongside her daughter Susan, the Artistic Director of Superarts. With Karen Willis, who was with the school for over 50 years, as student and teacher, plus more recently Amy Burley, and Sarah Smith, we offered many decades of experience in the performing arts industry.
