Welcome to AFA

The Annie Farr Academy is an extra curricular Theatre Arts and Performance Academy based in Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire.

AFA has a 100% pass rate!

At AFA all our teachers enjoy sharing the tools and performance techniques used by actors to look, sound and feel more confident when speaking and performing in public.

 AFA offers a blended learning approach for all our LAMDA students. Our students can choose between sessions which are face to face or virtual online sessions, or you can choose to do a combination of the two learning experiences. Whichever delivery method you choose you will also have the opportunity to choose to take part in Private 1:1 or if you prefer, you can take part in a Group LAMDA tutoring session with other students.

EXAMS: Students have the options to choose whether they are entered for a LAMDA Digital Examination or a LAMDA “face to face” examination.

“I can hardly believe what LAMDA are saying about my son, I am really proud of him. Thank you for everything you have done for him, you have been such an important part of his life.”
