Performing Arts

From a young age Laleham Lea pupils are encouraged to develop their performance skills and the Nursery and Infant classes and KS1 students perform in annual Nativity and Summer Musical productions.

From Year 3 Laleham Lea pupils take part in weekly Drama lessons with our Italia Conti Drama specialist and LAMDA examiner Mr Mcdowell who prepares them for their LAMDA performance examinations.

By taking part in LAMDA qualifications pupils build self-confidence and presentation skills and develop strong speaking voices.

Over the last few years our pupils have achieved fantastic results in their LAMDA examinations:

2024 – 42 Distinctions, 6 Merits (two exam periods)

2023 – 16 Distinctions

2021/22 – 26 Distinctions, 16 Merits

2020/21 – 17 Distinctions, 12 Merits

2019/20 – 21 Distinctions, 8 Merits, 1 Pass

2018/19 –  5 Distinctions, 21 Merits and 8 Passes.

Our Junior students (Years 3-6) take to the stage each July for a musical performance led by our Year 6 students and supported by our choir. Recent shows have included ‘The Rocky Monster Show’, ‘Olivia’ and ‘Pirates of the Curry Bean’.
