EPA Faculty

Birchwood Artists will have success and make mistakes, but can transform failures into successes, both resulting in creative responses to the world around them.

Birchwood Dance & Drama Creatives speak, listen, collaborate and perform.  They are brave.  They are risk takers.  They are empathetic in equal measure

Birchwood Musicians study music through listening and appraising, composing and performing allowing all students to become confident, creative, multi-skilled and culturally enriched.  We encourage a lifelong passion for music

Well Done to all LAMDA Students

Last summer our Year 9, 10 and 12 Drama GCSE and A Level students completed their Grade 4, 5 and 8 LAMDA exams in acting and musical theatre. The students put so much time and effort into their performances and it certainly paid off! All of our students achieved a Merit or Distinction grade as their end result. As a school we are very proud of these students and look forward to more LAMDA fun in the future!
