ENHANCING CULTURAL CAPITAL: LAMDA QUALIFICATION

We are about to launch our first ever 1-2-1 dramatic arts qualification programme with Emily Laws School of Acting leading the LAMDA training with individuals shortly.

Furthermore, in a unique move for any primary school, we have this week launched a special LAMDA qualification for a whole year group. Mayfield has invested in year 6 undertaking a ‘choral speaking’ drama qualification. This has huge benefits for our children’s confidence, their chance to widen their range of skills and talents, will hugely help with their ability to present and speak to different audiences and includes extensive study into the history of significant writers, performers and playwrights. Running alongside our cultural capital studies across this year group it means we are developing a unique offer that each of our children will have access to as they journey through Mayfield.

This comes in addition to our Theatre Club which runs each Tuesday from 3.15—4.30pm and culminates in a performance of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the ABC Theatre on the 14th December.
