LAMDA

Student participation in LAMDA has quadrupled in the last six years and is now above our target 1:10 ratio.  Indeed, 165 pupils are currently enrolled in LAMDA tuition at  the time of writing. 

There are three exam cycles each academic year and a further two annual ‘Showcase’ opportunities for LAMDA pupils to demonstrate their progress and performance talents to a live audience.

Results are excellent with almost all pupils achieving a merit or distinction. In the latest round of exam results 99% of candidates passed with merit and 87% received the highest award of Distinction.

I am convinced that the benefits to pupils who study LAMDA are distinct and significant, with confidence, focus, communication and oracy being noticeably improved. These transferable skills benefit pupils not only on stage but across the curriculum, in the classroom and in later walks of life.

LAMDA in Practice

Students from all year groups at Haileybury have the opportunity to prepare for examinations in Grades one to eight, with grades 6six to eight offering UCAS points. Pupils can study as solo, duo or small group (maximum four) candidates, offering a bespoke range of options to suit each child. Lessons are scheduled during and around academic time, with no academic subject being impacted more than once in any half term by a lamda lesson, thus preserving the integrity of the academic timetable.

Subjects include:

• Acting
• Verse & Prose
• Speaking in Public
• Reading for Performance
