The Othello's' groups are given the same opportunities as students across Ariel's academies, and with the support of their hard working teachers, have risen to the challenge. Students have gained distinctions in L.A.M.D.A. (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) exams, performed in productions such as Les Miserables, Bugsy Malone and Parade and secured work in TV advertising campaigns with blue chip companies such as Sainsbury's.
