What is lamda?
L.A.M.D.A. (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts) is a world-renowned drama school based in London, known not only for training future actors but also as a prestigious examination board for Speech and Drama. LAMDA qualifications aim to develop essential self-presentation skills such as voice control, body language, and confidence building—key abilities that are invaluable in any future workplace.
At Wren’s, students aged 9 to 21 can study a variety of LAMDA syllabuses, including Public Speaking, Verse & Prose, and Solo Acting. For younger learners (Little Wren’s), we offer introductory level courses to get them started.
Students can work through Grades 1 to 8, similar to traditional music or dance exams, with each level helping to build their confidence, skills, and performance abilities.
the value
LAMDA exams are government-accredited and carry significant value for your child’s future. From Grade 6 onwards, LAMDA qualifications earn UCAS points, which are used alongside school grades to support university and college applications. This makes LAMDA a great way to strengthen academic profiles and increase future opportunities.
In addition to UCAS points, LAMDA classes can contribute to The Duke of Edinburgh Award. Regular attendance at LAMDA classes qualifies for the skills section of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, allowing students to sign off their one-hour-per-week skills activity log. This dual benefit makes LAMDA an excellent choice for building both academic and personal achievements.
International Success in
public speaking
At Wren’s, we are proud to celebrate the success of our international student, Mia, who was a winner at The International World Schools Debate. Students who take part in our Public Speaking classes often make remarkable strides in their confidence. This is largely due to the one-to-one tuition we offer, allowing students to develop communication skills on an individual basis.
Through personalised guidance, your child will learn to refine their speech delivery and grow in confidence, whether they are performing or presenting. These invaluable skills in public speaking and communication will not only boost their success in exams but also transfer into other aspects of life—helping them excel both academically and personally.
