🌟 Outstanding LAMDA Success at AJ’s Academy of Dance & Drama! 🌟

We are absolutely thrilled to celebrate the incredible LAMDA examination results of our talented drama students:

✨ Rebekah Charlesworth – Distinction
✨ Amy Stewart – Distinction
✨ Sophie Chapman – Distinction
✨ Ruby Watt – Distinction
✨ Olivia Moore – Distinction
✨ Amy Bourne – Distinction

LAMDA examinations are marked out of 100, with assessment across three key areas:
🎭 Interpretation (40 marks) – imaginative engagement and emotional communication
🎤 Technique (40 marks) – vocal and physical performance, clarity and body language
📚 Knowledge (20 marks) – theoretical understanding in the discussion/interview

Every single AJ’s Academy of Dance & Drama student achieved a score above 85 — including marks well into the high 90s! An absolutely phenomenal achievement that reflects not only talent, but dedication, hard work and passion for performance.

We are so very proud of you all. Congratulations on your fantastic achievements — you truly deserve this success! 👏✨

Not long to wait now! Our parent portal will be launched in February half term. This will give you time to get familiar with it and update any information before we transition over for the Summer Term.

As we step into a brand new year, we want to take a moment to wish all of our AJ’s Academy of Dance & Drama families a very Happy New Year.

Thank you for being such an important part of our academy community. Your continued support, trust, and encouragement mean the world to us, and they allow our dancers and performers to grow not only in skill, but in confidence and creativity.

Looking ahead to 2026, there is so much to be excited about. Not least, our much-loved Summer Show, with full details to be announced very soon.

We are also incredibly proud to begin preparations with our Disney cast, as they start their journey towards an unforgettable performance in the Magic at Disneyland Paris in August 2026. This is an amazing opportunity and one we know will create memories to last a lifetime.

Behind the scenes, we are working hard to make AJ’s Academy of Dance & Drama even bigger and better, with exciting plans in development that will continue to support and inspire every student who walks through our doors.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We can’t wait to share another year of passion, performance, and special moments with you all.
