LAMDA

Many girls from Year 1 to 11 attend LAMDA tuition at Manor House School. 93 girls have recently taken their LAMDA examinations with 95% of girls receiving a distinction and the rest gaining a high merit.

There are a range of pathways that the girls can choose from including Acting, Speaking Verse and Prose and Public Speaking. Each pathway has many benefits and will equip the girls with a range of skills that can be used throughout life. Many people think that in order to take up LAMDA tuition they have to be good at Performing Arts and Acting, but LAMDA can help in many ways and not just if you want to be on the stage. LAMDA can help those quiet and shy students to find their voice, to gradually build their confidence in speaking in front of others, to know how important eye contact is when you are talking to someone. This is one of the requirements for the entry examination grades, in their exam it is essential that they make eye contact with the examiner learn not to fidget when they are presenting their pieces. All these small but essential skills can help us all in the long run. Not to mention in interview situations, confidently presenting yourself as you walk into a room. A previous pupil recently remarked, ‘Standing in front of patients and giving them a diagnosis was like standing up in front of an examiner. Presenting a piece and making sure you understood the definitions.’ It made me realise that LAMDA tuition had helped her and had made her the confident and clearly spoken doctor she is today.
