All of our pupils have the opportunity of taking exams in either drama or dance, and to date we have had a great deal of success in both subjects.   We use L.A.M.D.A. for all of our drama examinations, which are usually held in the centre of   Birmingham at the Birmingham School Of Speech & Drama.   L.A.M.D.A. is the oldest drama school in England and has a marvellous heritage, currently its patron is HRH Princess Alexandra and the chairman is the actor Timothy West CBE. Its advisory council also sounds like a who's who of the acting profession including such people as Brian Cox, David Suchet and Sir Donald Sinden.   Dancing exams are held with IDTA and BATD. Younger pupils may take qualifications in Ballet and Tap, once pupils reach the age of seven they may progress to the senior group where they will also be able to study Freestyle, Modern, Theatre Craft and Riverdance.
