Children at Harrogate independent prep school Belmont Grosvenor are celebrating after they were all awarded distinctions in their latest drama exams.
All 13 pupils at the school who were entered for the LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) exams were awarded the highest possible marks by the examiners – a clean sweep of distinctions.
Belmont Grosvenor School’s Drama teacher and former pupil Mr Dennis Maher, said he is “overjoyed” with the results for his pupils, who range from the youngest in Year 1 to the oldest in Year 6.
He said:
"I am incredibly proud of our LAMDA students for their outstanding achievement in receiving Distinctions across the board.
“Their hard work, dedication, and passion for performance have truly paid off, and it is wonderful to see their confidence and skills flourish.
“Effective oral communication is a vital life skill, building confidence, and the ability to express ideas with impact.
He added:
“Our mission here at BGS is to help children build strong foundations to thrive in an ever-changing world and LAMDA provides students with the tools to develop these essential skills, fostering creativity, self-assurance, and a strong stage presence.
“Congratulations to all - your success is truly well deserved!"
All children at BGS enjoy specialist drama lessons from nursery upwards, and have opportunities to perform in regular concerts, assemblies, productions and events.
Skills are further developed in school extra-curricular clubs including LAMDA.
