Experience You Can Trust

Supporting Creative Learning in Specialist Education

In 2025, LMT Academy delivered a commissioned four-week musical theatre programme at a specialist education setting in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

The programme was adapted for two pupil groups and combined drama, music and movement with preparation for a school performance.

Working collaboratively with school staff, we tailored activities to pupils’ different needs and abilities.

Following the programme, the school shared positive feedback about the experience for both pupils and staff and expressed interest in future collaboration.

This experience continues to inform our inclusive approach to school-based performing arts provision.

Welsh-Medium, English-Medium and Bilingual Provision

Celfyddydau Mynegiannol i Ysgolion

We recognise the importance of the Welsh language, Welsh culture and bilingual learning.

Our programmes can be developed for English-medium, Welsh-medium and bilingual school settings.
