Helping children grow in confidence, creativity, and academic progress.

Succedo gives children a calm, encouraging space where learning feels enjoyable and confidence grows naturally. With steady guidance, students make real academic progress, strengthen resilience and often earn recognised qualifications and UCAS points along the way.

When a Child Feels Supported, Everything Changes

Your child deserves a place where they feel seen, encouraged, and understood.

When children enter the right environment, they feel safe to try, begin to take small risks and soon realise they are capable of far more than they believed. I want parents to feel welcomed and reassured at Succedo, knowing their child will be understood, supported as an individual and encouraged to grow at their own pace. A calm and encouraging setting helps children relax, engage willingly and build confidence in both creative and academic learning.

The arts strengthen skills like communication, memory and self-expression, which naturally support progress in subjects such as maths, English and science. By combining arts with academic support, Succedo helps children develop socially, emotionally and academically so they can move forward with curiosity and confidence.

Meet Natalie Persaud, Founder of Succedo Arts

Experienced educator, compassionate guide, and mum who understands.

I have spent more than twenty years working with children, young people and adults through education, performing arts and creative development.

My background includes drama, dance and performance, alongside academic training in psychology and a Masters in Education. After observing my accomplishments and positive contributions to the development in teaching and learning practices, I was invited by Ofsted for Inspector training. I have worked as a lecturer, senior practitioner, mentor, trainer and Principal at the Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts.

I started Succedo because I wanted to bring together my experience in teaching, mental health, wellbeing and creative practice to create a space where children feel supported, confident and ready to succeed. The values I bring to Succedo are care, consistency, honesty and a genuine belief in every child’s potential, especially those who may be anxious, shy or neurodivergent.

Parents often tell me they appreciate my calm, warm and grounded approach, and I want every family to feel that their child is understood, valued and in safe, knowledgeable and caring hands.

What Parents Are Saying

Happy children. Confident learners. Encouraging feedback.

Natalie has been absolutely fantastic.

My son, who has SEN needs, initially found it difficult to settle into the new environment. Natalie has gone above and beyond to support both of us, creating a safe space where we can work together. She has given me practical advice to help regulate my son’s individual needs and has tailored her support with our diversity in mind something that is no easy task considering its complexities.

Natalie has shown professionalism at the highest level. She has shared just enough of her own experience to build a genuine connection, making it easier for me to liaise with her while still fulfilling her responsibilities of running classes.

Thanks to her dedication, my son’s experience has been truly positive, and we are so grateful for the difference she has made.

SEN Parent

Bespoke programme created

My 17 year old year old son has been attending classes for 3 years now and he has learnt so much from Natalie and her team. Jack has suffered with alopecia and anxiety from a young age but since joining the SAE, I have seen his confidence grow immeasurably! I love that the staff show just as much care and effort into all of the children in their charge no matter age or ability. I want to thank Natalie and her team for all they have done for Jack, he will leaving them soon and I know he will go on to big things using the skills and tools they have taught him. Thank you again and good luck to all future students!!

Claire

LAMDA Parent

My daughter has attended for a few years and adores it. Natalie is amazing, always a professional, courteous and caring individual. My daughter has learnt a lot in the time she has been attending. I get regular updates, newsletters ect. Highly recommend. Thank you to all the staff for the effort that goes into this

Lucy

LAMDA Parent

The booking process was very simple and straightforward, and Natalie has been consistently helpful and understanding, which I really appreciate. S***a thoroughly enjoyed both of her lessons and came away saying she had lots of fun, which is wonderful to see.

Florentina

Core Subject Parent

Was extremely easy to book in, make payment and become involved in the tutor sessions. My daughter looks forward to her sessions and comes out smiling after the tutoring has finished. So far the sessions have been a positive, we look forward to continuing, especially when it comes closer to exam time.

Zinnab

Core Subject Parent

My son was struggling in certain areas, Natalie supported him and made learning fun again for him, she explained things to him in ways he will be able to understand. He enjoyed being taught by Natalie and would come back and say, ” She’s is always happy”. This is also very important to me as I think children learn better when they feel valued and isn’t grilled. Thank you so much and would HIGHLY recommend Natalie.

Latoya

Core Subject Parent

My son has special educational needs, but Natalie adapted her teaching style to accommodate him and allowed him to both flourish and get the most out of her tuition.

I would highly recommend her without question.

Martin

SEN Bespoke Programme Parent

Some of our children enjoyed a very special visit from Natalie and her team from Succedo Arts Education. They delivered performing arts workshops focused around drama, dance, singing and oracy. We had loads of fun together singing and dancing – the children absolutely loved taking part! It was great to see our children come out of their shells and enjoy expressing themselves. Highly recommend!! We were delighted to be able to offer two free sessions for our KAPS pupils at SAE.

Natalie also offers 45 minute online sessions for £3 per student in a number of subjects and levels, including LAMDA, English Language, English Literature, maths, IT, filmmaking and more. I highly recommend, book your school in today!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers for parents.

Yes! I promise!! I have written it down and MUST honor it.

Our groups are no bigger than 5 students. Anymore than that and we lose the quality of one to one support. Our £5 sessions accommodate up to 15 students and our £3 online sessions can accommodate up to 30 students.

We provide bespoke packages for all, and find this works best for our SEN students, depending on their needs.

All tutors are DBS checked and on the update service. This means our backgrounds are checked annually, automatically.

Yes! We off a free online session as your first session. This mainly acts as an assessment to check your child’s level. It also helps to make sure you and your child are happy and that we are able to support your child.

We tend to take children from aged 6 to 18 years of age. However, we can make exceptions for as young as 4, for one to one sessions.

We always tell our students to bring a notebook and pen/paper. They will need all their notes for the subject and any specialist equipment they may need – the tutor will normally advise on this.

We take payments up front to secure your child’s place (and to make sure no one else grabs it!). We work a term in advance. If this is not manageable, please speak to Natalie and we can make an arrangement.

Our venue does not permit our parents to enter the classrooms whilst sessions are going on. However, parents are allowed to wait in the foyer area. Please note: We can only accommodate up to 10 people in the foyer area.
