​LAMDA in Schools
Unleashing Potential: Why Drama and Public Speaking Matter for Every Student - and how to introduce LAMDA classes at your school today.
Aimed at Headteachers, Heads of Drama and Literature Departments for schools based in Harrow/North London - and wider London. Our classes are designed to invest in the holistic development of our student body. These subjects are not just about acting or speaking; they are about creating empowered, thoughtful individuals who are prepared to make a positive impact on the world. Let’s give our students the tools they need to communicate, collaborate, and succeed.
Why Drama and Public Speaking?
Confidence and Self-Esteem
Through drama and public speaking, students learn to communicate effectively, build self-assurance, and conquer the fear of public speaking. These skills boost self-esteem and empower students to take on leadership roles confidently.
Creativity and Problem Solving
Drama ignites creativity, encouraging students to think on their feet, adapt to different scenarios, and work collaboratively. These skills are crucial for solving problems and thinking critically— abilities that benefit students across all subjects.
Empathy and Social Awareness
Drama teaches empathy as students step into different roles and perspectives. This helps build emotional intelligence, social awareness, and respect for others—qualities that are essential in today’s diverse, interconnected world.
Effective Communication
Public Speaking instills clarity in expressing ideas and enhances persuasive skills. Students learn to structure arguments, captivate audiences, and communicate with poise—whether in a classroom discussion, a job interview, or a future career.
Fun and Engagement
Drama and public speaking classes are dynamic, involving games, role-playing, and interactive storytelling that make learning enjoyable. Students engage deeply and develop a lifelong love for learning while having fun.
Preparation for Real-World Success
In today’s world, soft skills are as valuable as academic knowledge. Teaching students how to present themselves effectively gives them a competitive edge in college, job interviews, and in life. Drama and Public Speaking classes prepare students to shine wherever they go.
