Halliford excels in LAMDA examinations

Halliford School announced a 100% pass rate in LAMDA exams at the end of last year. 19 Halliford students took ex-ams in either acting, verse and prose, or mime, securing an impressive 11 distinctions, 7 merits and 2 passes. 

Halliford are so proud of Sixth Former, Robert Pleasance (pictured right with headmaster Mr Davies), who was awarded an unbeatable score of 100/100 with distinction. In addition, they had two students receive 98/100 and two stu-dents receive 96/100. Truly outstanding and testament to the strength of the Drama Department at Halliford School. 

LAMDA Tutor, Shani Woodley, commented “I am over the moon with our results from my first set of LAMDA examinations at Halliford. The boys have put in so much work and dealt with a lot of extremely unusual circumstances. They have risen above it all and produced these incredible results.” 

Students received some amazing feedback from the examiners, including: “A spontaneous ap-proach throughout your work complete with in dept characterisation”, “A confident easy pres-ence in the space”, “You use your voice, face, and body with total focus in a scene”, “Delightfully energised and enthusiastic performer” and “You have a real gift for performing”. 

Headmaster, Mr Davies, commented “I am absolutely thrilled for the boys. These results are exceptional, and I am delighted to present our students with their richly deserved certificates and medals. Despite all the challenges that they face currently, it is so refreshing to see the boys dedicating themselves to these challenging examinations and achieving such stunning results. I am incredibly proud of them all.”
