Founded in 1861, LAMDA is the oldest drama school in the UK. They started offering speech and drama examinations to the public over 130 years ago. Since then they have developed an enviable reputation for excellence in the provision of Communication and Performance examinations in the UK, and are rapidly extending their reach internationally.

We are very pleased to offer our students the opportunity to train under LAMDA and take associated exams. The process of preparing for and succeeding in a LAMDA Examination helps Learners, whatever their ages or aspirations, to develop a broad range of skills that will serve them throughout life. LAMDA examinations develop a Learner’s ability to:

• Read easily, fluently and with good understanding
• Expand vocabulary to improve powers of self-expression
• Improve confidence in speaking and listening
• Memorise and recall information
• Research and create persuasive formal presentations
• Create and defend arguments
• Engage in constructive informal conversation
• Work both on their own and participate as a member of a team

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

LAMDA is at The Centre Mawsley on Thursday’s 5-6pm.

We facilitate a happy and fun environment for children to enjoy learning the arts and express themselves. As a parent, I acknowledge the importance of you knowing what activities your child engages in and parents are always invited to our ‘Watching Week’ at the end of term.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Louise Wright Theatre School.
