Founded in 1861, LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) is the UK’s oldest drama school. For more than 130 years, LAMDA has offered internationally recognised Speech and Drama examinations, earning an outstanding reputation for excellence in Communication and Performance training.

We are proud to offer our students the opportunity to train for LAMDA examinations. Preparing for and achieving a LAMDA qualification helps students of all ages build confidence, develop essential life skills, and reach their full potential both on and off the stage.

Through LAMDA examinations, students develop the ability to:

• Read fluently with confidence and understanding.
• Expand their vocabulary and communicate more effectively.
• Improve speaking and listening skills.
• Develop memory and recall techniques.
• Research, prepare and deliver engaging presentations.
• Build persuasive arguments and think critically.
• Communicate confidently in both formal and informal settings.
• Work independently and collaboratively as part of a team.

Whether students pursue a career in the performing arts or follow a completely different path, the skills gained through LAMDA examinations provide lasting benefits. From increased self-confidence and communication skills to resilience, creativity and teamwork, these qualifications equip students with valuable tools that support success at school, in further education, the workplace and everyday life.
