Naturama started classes on June 1st, 1985, at West House, Pinner Memorial Park, Pinner, Middlesex.

Set in a park, the children not only looked forward to Saturdays and the classes, but in their breaks they could also enjoy what the changing seasons had to bring, like the migration of the Canada geese; mallard ducks and their new broods; bulrushes, rock gardens and the blossoming of the trees, including a rare Marsh Cyprus near the pond, whilst the island provided a safe harbour for young coots and moorhens learning to paddle and squeak.

Throughout the years, The Naturama School of Drama has consistently won diplomas and medals in all theatrical categories, and has never come away from a drama festival without a first place.
