LAMDA exams offer a chance to gain recognised qualifications, boost UCAS points, and refine your technique in Acting, Public Speaking, Musical Theatre, and Verse and Prose. But most of all, it’s about building confidence and embracing the joy of performance in a supportive environment.
Benefits of LAMDA
LAMDA is beneficial to a wide range of students. It appeals to Drama A Level students looking to broaden and refine their skills to support their academic studies, particularly in examination performance. It is also popular with pupils who enjoy Drama at GCSE but have not chosen it for A Level, yet still wish to continue building their performance and speaking skills. LAMDA is also extremely beneficial to EAL pupils looking to improve their spoken English. One of the most beneficial and attractive aspects of LAMDA examinations is that pupils gain valuable UCAS points from the exams they take.
For more information on LAMDA, please email: j.hansen@st-teresas.com
