At Freedom Academy Junior Musical Theatre, your child will receive top-class training across singing, and dance. Our unique structure ensures equal attention is given to both disciplines, with session time divided equally. Every group attends:
> A vibrant singing lesson with a skilled singing coach.
> An energetic dance lesson with an experienced dance coach.
This balanced approach allows children to explore their strengths, develop new skills, and discover a true passion for the stage and screen.
A Year of Artistic Growth:
Our Term Structure
Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to provide a rich and progressive learning experience throughout the academic year:
Autumn Term:
Laying the Foundation & Lights, Camera, Action!
The Autumn Term kicks off with a strong focus on strengthening essential techniques across all classes. Just before the half-term break, a buzz of excitement begins as we introduce the Spring Term musical! Children start working on the singing and dance numbers, seamlessly integrating this into their ongoing technical training.
Spring Term:
Bringing Stories to Life on Stage!
The Spring Term is dedicated to the thrilling journey of bringing our chosen musical to life! Children continue to develop the musical in all classes, adding the crucial script and acting elements. They finalise songs, staging, and choreography, working collaboratively towards a captivating end-of-term performance. This culminates in a magical show performed at our very own in-house theatre, giving students invaluable stage experience.
Summer Term:
Qualifications, Showcases & Grand Finales!
The Summer Term is packed with exciting opportunities for both qualification and grand performances!
> LAMDA Examinations: In drama, children work towards their group LAMDA exams. We strategically alternate between Acting and Musical Theatre exams each year, allowing students to systematically build up their grades and qualifications – a nationally recognised and highly respected achievement in the performing arts.
> Summer Showcase Preparation: In singing and dance classes, the focus shifts to rehearsing dynamic numbers for our much-anticipated Summer Showcase. This spectacular event takes place in a large-scale theatre, offering students the thrill of performing on a professional stage while still refining their core techniques.
The academic year culminates in a truly special End of Year Showcase, where our Junior students, along with their Senior and Infants pupils, take to the stage together. This grand event is a celebration of the year's achievements, featuring performances of popular numbers from their Spring musical, and the debut of exciting new pieces developed during the Summer Term.
