LAMDA
London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art
At Westgate Hill Primary Academy, we inspire and empower learners to be confident communicators. The London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA) is a prestigious programme that helps young people develop speech, drama, and communication skills. We are so proud to deliver LAMDA sessions at Westgate Hill for groups of children in Year 5. The sessions are delivered on a one-to-one and small-group basis each week. Thanks to Laidlaw funding, pupils have the opportunity to take internationally recognised graded examinations, which allows them to develop their vocabulary, spoken English and memorisation skills, setting them up for future success. Our pupils have impressed examiners with their ability to speak clearly and fluently, demonstrate vocal contrast, and use facial expressions to convey emotion.
