As well as the annual School Production, which allows students to get involved behind the scenes as well as centre stage, we also offer Voice, Drama and Communication Skills lessons. These lead to London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) qualifications.

LAMDA lessons are the perfect place for pupils to develop their confidence, self-reflection and communication skills. With disciplines including Acting, Public Speaking and Speaking Verse And Prose, our students can cater their experience to further their interests. Depending on their chosen discipline, activities include learning monologues and performing, writing and delivering their own speeches or learning about poetry and how to read it.

In lessons, pupils work towards their LAMDA examination which take place at the school and range from Grade 1 to Grade 8, with the final grades earning valuable UCAS points for university applications. The lessons take place once a week and can be taken individually or paired with another student. We regularly have students obtaining Merits and Distinctions in a range of disciplines, including Acting, Verse and Prose, Reading for Performance, Public Speaking, and Musical Theatre.

No matter what direction pupils choose to follow in the future, these lessons provide the opportunity to nurture their natural abilities. These critical skills will enhance their self-confidence to engage and contribute fully, whether at school, in further education, at work or in the community.
