About

Our Ethos
Our weekly classes and summer holiday programme offer secondary school aged students the opportunity to prepare for solo LAMDA exams in a fun, supportive group setting. The weekly two-hour sessions allow plenty of time to play games and explore acting techniques, alongside focused speech preparation. These classes are designed to help students develop skills in a relaxed and engaging environment, while building confidence and having fun with their peers.

For those looking to make rapid progress, our summer holiday programmes provide an intensive yet enjoyable alternative. With school out of the way, students can complete the majority of their exam preparation efficiently and without distraction. This strategic approach ensures they are in a good place to take their exam in the autumn term, should they choose to.

Whether you’re joining us weekly or during the holidays, our aim is the same: to foster a stress-free atmosphere where young performers can fully realise their potential and achieve the results they deserve. Join us to experience a straightforward yet effective course that puts success and enjoyment first.
