Meet the Grayes Team

L-A Thomson - Grayes Principal A.I.S.T.D

L-A has trained in dance since the age of 2. She attended her local dance school and gained ISTD examinations in all genres, as well as Musical Theatre, singing and acting classes. Performing in festivals, shows and pantomimes was L-A's passion and her motivation and drive has allowed her to achieve so much in her chosen career.

Originally from Scotland L-A moved to London at the age of 16 to pursue her dream of performing after winning a place at the renowned Arts Educational School, London on the 3 year Musical Theatre Course.

During L-A's final year at Arts Ed, she was cast by Qdos entertainment as Cinderella for the Millennium year back home in Edinburgh. She went on to perform in many West End shows and work for Qdos for a number of years before giving into her main passion.......teaching.

L-A has been Principal at Grayes for the last 3 years since following in Cathy's' footsteps and is loving every minute of it.

The level of teaching here at Grayes is outstanding and second to none! The teachers are in a league of their own and the training offered to students is that required of a professional college.

Many friends are to be made through Grayes and hopefully many special memories along the way.
