Group LAMDA Exam Permission Form

This term we will have a visit from LAMDA on Saturday 12th November at Highgate Primary School, N6 4ED and on Sunday 13th November at Hammersmith Academy, W12 9JD, and all students, from all Main School Stage Academy venues, who would like to do so, will have the opportunity to take part in a group LAMDA exam. They will perform a group acting or musical theatre scene to the examiner, along with some other drama activities, and their group will receive a grade and a certificate; Pass, Merit or Distinction. These group exams are included at no additional cost to you! More about LAMDA is at lamda.ac.uk/lamda-exams

At Stage Academy we have a 100% pass rate with LAMDA exams and 90% of students achieve the Distinction grade – so they are always a really successful and positive experience for all involved.

A change from last year – this year doing the exam itself will be optional for main school students (there is still no extra cost) – we want to make sure that for the benefit of everyone, all students taking part in the exam are committed to doing so and committed to their group – so that does mean we expect regular attendance from those doing the exam between now and their exam date, and of course we expect them to attend on the relevant exam day. Please bear this in mind when choosing to submit your child to take part in the group exam. The exam remains completely free for main school Stage Academy students who choose to take part.

If your child does not do the LAMDA exam, it will have no effect on the rest of their classes whatsoever, they will still get the same curriculum and class work as well as performance opportunities, they simply won’t be submitted for the group exam.
