Established in 1861, LAMDA, short for the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art, is one of the UK’s top drama schools, known for training some of the best actors, directors, and theatre professionals in the business. LAMDA is offered at Scarborough College as part of the cocurricular programme and provides students the chance to develop their acting, public speaking, and performance skills in a fun and supportive environment. They can work toward official LAMDA qualifications, which not only boost confidence and creativity but even count towards UCAS points for university applications. Whether someone’s aiming for the stage or just wants to get better at speaking in front of others, the LAMDA programme at Scarborough College helps build communication skills, self-expression, and a strong stage presence.
