Why LAMDA?

No matter what direction learners may choose to follow in the future, LAMDA examinations provide the opportunity to nurture their natural abilities. These critical skills will enhance their self-confidence to engage and contribute fully, whether at school, in further education, in work or in the community: in other words, to fulfil their potential.
Here at The North Oxfordshire School of Drama our teaching of the LAMDA examinations is rooted in learner’s developing a love of literature, poetry and drama.
Ultimately, it is the sense of achievement that empowers the individual. At NOSD we believe that succeeding in a LAMDA examination demonstrates not only that learners have met the rigorous assessment criteria in a particular discipline, but also that they have grown as individuals through participating in a worthwhile activity that is respected as a global standard.
