ACADEMY NEWS FROM THE VPA

a good night for the faculty with all areas packed with parents and pupils all excited about the choices for September. Large numbers congregated in Art, Drama and Music to talk exam claasses.

Lots of talk about the stunning wwry show and the special one off we will be performing in the summer.

Great night for us all.

Thanks to our super staff for their time once again and also to our super new recruit from September, Miss Sinfield from St. A.

we will rock you once more

Ladymead VPA proudly announces a special one off performance of the Queen smash hit musical We Will Rock You at Ladymead School. This will happen in June with a special 50 years of Ladymead concert happening the night after so a double bill of Ladymead past and present. All proceeds go to the Haiti earthquake appeal. Check out the sheep launch app on iphones!!!! STUNNING!!

One more WWRY performance for Haiti earthquake appeal

Ladymead VPA has decided that as we still have one licence remaining for WWRY and we had to turn so many people away from our sold out shows who wanted to see the event,  we will perform a special one off full show in support of the Haiti appeal in April. Keep posted for a date. Bring on the sheep!!

WE WILL ROCK YOU- WHAT A SHOW!!!

THE SHOW IS OVER BUT WHAT A FEELING.

THE PUPILS WERE INCREDIBLE GIVING THE AUDIENCES A SHOW THEY WILL NEVER FORGET.

FROM THE INCREDIBLE DANCE ROUTINES TO THE 12 PIECE PUPIL BAND TO THE GENUINE AND HEARTFELT ACTING TO THE MULTI HARMONY SINGING, TO THE WEST END STYLE GRAPHICS, THIS WAS A PRODUCTION THAT WENT WAY PAST OUR WILDEST DREAMS AND EXPECTATIONS.

EVERY NIGHT THE AUDIENCE WAS ON ITS FEET, ARMS IN THE AIR, CLAPPING AND SINGING THEIR HEARTS OUT TO THESE CLASSIC SONGS .

THE CAST, WHOSE AGES RAMGED FROM 11-16 PERFORMED LIKE PROFESSIONALS AND ONE HEAD OF FACULTY FROM AONTHER SCHOOL DECLARED, “Most schools can produce shows but I have never seen anything like this. This was total magic and  the direction and standard that all schools  should follow. Ladymead is the no. 1 place for top quality productions in Taunton having seen this”.

Not a bad quote from a very well to do educational establishment.

We are very proud of all who took part and our school is buzzing for the announcement of the next production.

Thanks to all who came and supported the show.

Glastonbury comes to Ladymead

We at Ladymead school are amazed at the wonderful man that is Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis after he visited our music department and spent 1.5hours being interviewed by pupils for our school radio station today. His stories were amazing, pure folklore and having JayZ and B in ur kitchen for coffee, superb. What a line up for this year also!!!!headline city. The pupils also performed a few tracks for him so hopefully that will get us to Glastonbury next year!!!!!!
