Performing Arts & Communication
Enrichment for Schools
Elizabeth Samuels works in partnership with primary and secondary schools across London to deliver high-quality Drama, LAMDA, Public Speaking, Musical Theatre and Confidence & Communication programmes for children and young people aged 5–18.
Our programmes can run during the school day or after school and can be developed around the needs of an individual school, year group or group of pupils.

What we deliver
Drama
Creative, collaborative sessions that introduce pupils to storytelling, character and performance. Improvisation and ensemble work give young people space to explore ideas and develop their own voice.
LAMDA Acting
Structured acting tuition with opportunities to work towards recognised LAMDA examinations. Pupils develop character, voice and performance skills through material appropriate to their age and stage.
Public Speaking & Oracy
Practical programmes that help pupils organise ideas, speak clearly and listen thoughtfully. Activities develop confidence presenting to an audience and communicating with purpose.
Confidence & Communication
Structured programmes designed to build confidence speaking in front of others, communication skills, teamwork and participation. Supportive activities encourage pupils to contribute at their own pace.
Musical Theatre
Sessions combining acting, singing and movement in an encouraging group setting. Pupils explore how these skills work together to tell a story and create a performance.
Short-term enrichment projects
Focused projects built around a school’s priorities, a particular cohort or a creative theme. We work with you to agree a suitable format, timescale and performance or sharing opportunity where appropriate.

Recognised achievement
A complete LAMDA pathway
We can manage the full process from tuition and syllabus selection through to examination preparation and entry, providing pupils with a structured progression pathway and recognised achievement.
Safeguarding
Safe, professional delivery
Safeguarding sits at the heart of our work. Our teaching team undergoes appropriate safer recruitment and DBS checks and our programmes are delivered in partnership with each school’s safeguarding procedures.
Inclusive practice
Inclusive delivery
We work with schools to understand individual pupil needs, including those of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and agree appropriate adaptations so that more young people can participate confidently.
Depending on pupil needs, adaptations may include:
- Clear visual prompts and instructions broken into manageable steps.
- Extra processing time, repetition and a predictable session structure.
- Paired or smaller-group activities, with gradual steps towards speaking or performing in front of others.
We agree these approaches with the school and adapt them to the pupils and programme.
Whether you already know what you are looking for or would like help identifying the right programme for your pupils, we’d be happy to discuss your school’s needs.
