Get LAMDA-Ready

Tunbridge Wells

We know the academic year can be hectic.

That’s why our LAMDA course offers young actors the chance to develop their skills in a fun, supportive environment that’s free from term-time pressures.

Join us, and other like-minded young actors, to experience a straightforward yet effective course that prioritises your success and gets you the grade you deserve.

What’s Included?

  • Before the summer school begins, you will each receive an online private session, where the tutor will get to know your acting style and any special requirements. (45 mins)

  • Your tutor will select speeches based on your preferences, casting and acting style. Speeches will be provided ahead of the summer school, so the student can feel prepared and confident going into the week.

  • With a mix of group workshops and one-to-one coaching, by the end of the course you will have curated polished performances with our professional guidance; you will know your LAMDA theory, having been introduced to key principles and practitioners in a practical way, and you will have made new friends. At the end of the course, we will book your autumn LAMDA exam at a public centre, on a date of your choosing.

  • You will receive a learning booklet, to help you prep for the Knowledge section of your exam. While we will be exploring theory in a practical way during the course, the booklet, curated by our course director, acts as a written guide that breaks down the key principles you will need to know.

    Your tutors will also make individual notes for you, collated into a notebook. This will include things like a To Do List of what you need to work on, and any personalised performance notes.

  • 3 one-hour sessions, arranged at a convenient time, to consolidate everything covered during the summer school. Two take place online, and one in person at the tutor’s home. Please note that this may not be with the same tutor who introduced the speeches, as a fresh perspective can often be beneficial.

Details &FAQs

  • Please bear with us while we iron out a few details. As soon as bookings are open, we will let you know. In the meantime, we ask that you register your interest and secure your place on the waiting list at the bottom of this page.

  • We will give you the location after you sign up, but the course takes place in central Tunbride Wells.

  • Aware that this course can be used as a booster, we know that some students may have already started work on their speeches. That’s fine! So long as we have your speeches in time for the introductory session, we can ensure we are prepped and ready to teach you.

  • This course is for secondary school aged children and above.

    Students will be free to leave the site for lunch without adult supervision.

  • All of our staff are DBS checked, and the course leader, Francesca Bailey, is our Designated Safeguarding Lead.

    Francesca also has paediatric first aid training.

    You will receive a copy of our safeguarding policy via email before paying your deposit.

  • The course director, supported by an additional LAMDA tutor and assistants, will deliver the programme.

  • By having more than one teacher on board, we ensure that students aren’t left hanging around while 1:1 sessions are occurring. For example, you might be in a group workshop on Stanislavski, preparing for the knowledge section of the exam, while your friend is having their 1:1 in another space.
