Pupils' clean sweep in LAMDA exams

For a second year running, Brackenfield pupils are celebrating a clean sweep of distinctions in their recent speech and drama LAMDA exams.

LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art), run a course of exams aimed at developing a clear speaking voice, positive body language and self-confidence by exploring different uses of spoken English.

The successful pupils gained distinctions in Speaking Voice and Prose and Reading for Performance. The awards were gained by pupils across the age range from Year 1 to Year 5 and from stage 1 to stage 3.
