As you know, we had fantastic success with our VIP Virtual Lesson Platform using Zoom, and we had the best
time. We ran 142 lessons weekly from the end of March to the end of June, and on top of those, we included

three weeks of Monday to Friday Themed Student Workshops throughout the first three weeks in July at no
extra cost to any of our students and these went down a storm! The workshops' themes were Matilda the
Musical, Grease the Musical and Radio Plays. They were so popular, and our students and staff alike had the

most fantastic time. Each Friday, students attended wearing costumes relating to the theme, and they
performed for each other. We have such talented students, and they were not going to let the lockdown get
in the way of them performing!

Following the workshops, we moved on to our online Summer Holiday Academies. Again, these proved really
popular with students looking to continue that interaction with others while learning and performing. And as

well as that, our students got to meet their idols from London's West End!

On week one, we themed our Holiday Academy around School of Rock, and on the Friday our students got
to meet FOUR WEST END STARS from this hit musical. On week two, it was High School Musical Themed Holiday
Academy and our students got to meet TWO WEST END STARS from that one too. And for week three's themed

week, Disney & The Lion King, our students met TWO WEST END STARS from this outstanding musical.

Overall, our students have worked with our fabulous tutors (one of them an Olivier Award winner), and met
EIGHT WEST END STARS (one of them also an Olivier Award winner!) So, TWO OLIVIER AWARD WINNERS and
EIGHT STARS FROM THE WEST END in just three weeks! Wow! What's not to love?
