Another amazing year of results from all of my students. This is all down to their individual commitment and drive to their very best.
The Speech and Drama Festival saw some of the very best 1st place awards to date. Once again the prestigious ‘Speech and Drama’ trophies and cups were presented to the very top performers.
Record breaking LAMDA exams results were recorded with 94% of pupils gaining distinctions, 56% of these pupils achieved marks in the 90’s. This summer witnessed the very first pupils gaining 100%. Congratulations to Ava Harris and Andrew Bull from Haddon Dene School on their magnificent results.

Please find below our wonderful results from the festival, congratulations to all of the children for their outstanding efforts.
They are all winners as they have gained a sackful of skills. The ability to perform with accuracy and skill in front of an audience, accept the decision of the adjudicator and understand that his opinion is only one amongst an audience of many more, show respect, kindness and courtesy to other contestants during their performances. Well done!
