LAMDA SUCCESS

St Benedict's students work with the Drama Department to prepare for their LAMDA (The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) exams as a co-curricular activity and exams take place each term. All students in Form 3 take LAMDA in the Trinity (Summer) Term.

Sixth Form students have the opportunity to take Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals in Acting (which equate to UCAS points) and Grade 8 Devising. LAMDA is open to all students, regardless of whether they study Drama at GCSE and A Level.

Particular congratulations go to the three Sixth Form students who achieved Distinction in their Grade 8 Gold Medal Acting - Tori, James  and Toby. Their repertoire included monologues from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Hamlet and King Lear; Peter Shaffer's Equus and Jean-Paul Satre's Les mains sales.

The Head of Drama at St Benedict’s, Ms Ravenscroft, said: “This has been an outstanding year for LAMDA results at St Benedict’s, particularly with regard to our Grade 8 Gold Medal candidates who gained 7 Distinctions for their Grade 8 Devising in the Michaelmas Term and 3 Distinctions and 3 Merits in their Grade 8 Gold Medal Acting exams. Congratulations to everyone who has been involved, I feel immensely proud of your success."
