About Helen
Hi! I’m Helen Syrtadiotis – founder of The Artz Kidz
The Arts have been a huge part of my life since a young age and so I decided to open this school to share my life experiences and my love for the Arts with you. I have danced, sang and acted since the the age of 4 and went on through my life to compete with dance across the country. I graduated with a Drama BA Honours Degree and during this study time, I ran workshops in a range of settings and learnt how drama can help impact people’s lives for the better.
I went on to become a successful Primary School Teacher in the Enfield Borough and taught from Reception to Yr 6 for over 13 years. During this time, I became a ‘Performing Arts’ and ‘Literacy’ leader, driving these areas to become successful within different schools. I explored and embedded many programs including ‘Literacy Through Art’ and the ‘Power of Reading’ and saw children’s thirst for books, drama and art thrive!
And so, over the years, I found a way to focus my attention on BLENDING all of these ‘Art’ forms together to create The Artz Kidz! I launched in 2018 when on maternity leave with my second baby. I launched a school that filled the gaps of creativity, that schools don’t have the time/capacity for. The Artz Kidz encourages every child to be themselves, allowing them to really shine and remain a child for as long as possible.
